70 ns reverse recovery — what it buys the PFC stage
The STTH3006PI is a 30 A, 600 V fast recovery rectifier from STMicroelectronics with a 70 ns reverse recovery time.
Forward drop and thermal design
At the full 30 A forward current the maximum forward voltage is 1.85 V, which works out to about 55 W conduction loss at rated current — a number that drives heatsink sizing and airflow requirements. The 25 µA reverse leakage at 600 V is low enough to keep standby losses negligible in most designs.
The straight leads suit vertical PCB mounting in a chassis-mount layout.
