600 V, 2 A, 85 ns trr — the switching-loss ceiling
The STTH2R06UFY is an automotive-grade fast-recovery epitaxial diode from STMicroelectronics, rated for 600 V reverse voltage and 2 A average forward current. Its 85 ns reverse recovery time (trr) sets the switching-loss floor in hard-switched topologies like PFC boost stages and flyback converters.
AEC-Q101 and 175°C junction — built for under-hood
That 175°C ceiling is the difference between a diode that survives an engine-bay heat soak and one that derates into failure.
SMBflat footprint — check the pad before you place it
The package is SMBflat (DO-221AA), a low-profile surface-mount variant with flat leads. It is smaller than a standard SMB and the lead coplanarity is tighter — verify the solder-paste stencil aperture against the ST application note before the first panel runs.
