85 ns reverse recovery — what it buys in a PFC or boost stage
The STTH810FP is an 8 A, 1000 V fast-recovery diode from STMicroelectronics built with planar technology. The TO-220 Full Pack (TO-220FPAC) has an isolated tab, so no mica insulator or thermal pad is needed against a grounded heatsink — a time-saver in through-hole assembly.
1000 V / 8 A — the operating envelope
Rated 1000 V DC reverse (Vr) and 8 A average rectified current (Io), the STTH810FP handles 240 VAC or 277 VAC rectified rails with margin. Forward voltage is 2 V max at 8 A, which at 85 ns recovery means the diode runs warm but stays inside a 175°C junction limit. The 5 µA reverse leakage at 1000 V is clean enough for a high-voltage bulk rail; no pre-load resistor needed to balance the bus.
Product status is Active. That means no last-time-buy window to track, no forced redesign for a replacement part.
