27 ns recovery in a 300 V, 30 A common-cathode pair
The STTH60SW03CW from STMicroelectronics is a 300 V, 30 A per diode standard recovery rectifier in a common-cathode configuration, packaged in a through-hole TO-247-3. Its 27 ns reverse recovery time (trr) is unusually fast for a standard-recovery (>500 ns) rated device, making it suited for high-frequency rectification and freewheeling applications where switching losses dominate.
Conduction loss at 30 A — 1.25 Vf floor
Maximum forward voltage is 1.25 V at 30 A per diode. Reverse leakage is 15 µA at 300 V, a non-factor in most designs until junction temperature approaches the 175 °C maximum.
STMicroelectronics lists the STTH60SW03CW as obsolete. For BOM lines that require this exact TO-247-3 common-cathode footprint and 300 V / 30 A rating, procurement is through independent distribution.
