Product details

600 V, 5 A ultrafast rectifier in DPAK

Its 50 ns reverse recovery time places it in the fast-recovery class for hard-switching topologies like PFC boost stages, flyback clamps, and output rectification in telecom and industrial power supplies.

Switching loss and thermal budget

The 50 ns trr at 600 V reverse voltage is the controlling parameter for turn-off losses in continuous-conduction-mode PFC. At a 100 kHz switching frequency, each turn-off event dissipates roughly Vr × Ir × trr/2 — the 50 ns window keeps the loss per cycle under 75 µJ at rated current, which means the DPAK copper pad on a standard 1 oz pour can handle the thermal load without forced air. Forward voltage is 1.85 V max at 5 A and 25 °C junction. Conduction loss at full rated current is 9.25 W, but the actual junction temperature will settle higher — the 175 °C max junction rating gives headroom for the Vf positive temperature coefficient to balance the thermal loop.

Reverse leakage at high line

Reverse leakage is 5 µA at 600 V, 25 °C. Leakage doubles roughly every 10 °C junction rise, so at 125 °C expect about 80 µA — still negligible for most 5 A designs, but worth checking if the diode sits across a high-impedance node in a no-load standby rail.

Active production, no LTB shadow

ROHS3 compliant, so it clears EU and lead-free assembly requirements without a waiver.

Frequently asked questions

What is the reverse recovery time of the STTH506B-TR?

The STTH506B-TR is specified with a 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr). This qualifies as an ultrafast recovery diode, suitable for switching frequencies above 50 kHz in PFC and flyback stages.

What package does the STTH506B-TR come in?

The STTH506B-TR is supplied in a DPAK (TO-252-3) surface-mount package, with 2 leads plus a tab. The ordering code suffix -TR indicates Tape & Reel packaging for automated pick-and-place assembly.

What compliance certifications does the STTH506B-TR carry?

The STTH506B-TR is ROHS3 compliant. No UL, IEC, or AEC-Q grade is listed in the available documentation.
