Fast recovery at 65 ns — what it buys the switching stage
The STTH31AC06SPF is a 600 V, 30 A general-purpose fast recovery diode from STMicroelectronics, housed in the fully isolated TO-3P-3 Full Pack (TO-3PF) package. Its 65 ns reverse recovery time (trr) is the headline switching parameter — fast enough to keep turn-off losses low in continuous-conduction-mode PFC boost stages and output rectification in hard-switched converters up to the 100 kHz range, without the higher Vf penalty of an ultrafast or SiC diode.
Ratings that set the operating envelope
Averaged rectified current of 30 A and a 600 V reverse voltage ceiling define the continuous-load boundary. Reverse leakage is specified at 10 µA at 600 V — a clean blocking characteristic that keeps standby dissipation negligible in offline supplies.
