30 A, 600 V fast recovery — the switching-loss ceiling
The STTH3006W is a 600 V, 30 A fast recovery diode in a DO-247 through-hole package. Its 70 ns reverse recovery time (trr) keeps switching losses low in hard-switched topologies.
Forward drop and thermal budget at 30 A
At 30 A forward current the maximum forward voltage is 1.85 V. Reverse leakage is specified at 25 µA at 600 V, a figure that rises with junction temperature; the 175°C Tj max allows the diode to run hot without immediate failure, but leakage-induced thermal runaway must be checked in the system thermal model.
