The IDW30G120C5B from Infineon Technologies is a SiC Schottky Barrier Diode that is ideal for power factor correction, motor drives, solar inverters, and uninterruptable power supply (UPS) applications. It has a forward voltage of 1.7 V and a forward current of up to 44 A. This diode has a reverse current of 17 µA. It has a repetitive peak reverse voltage of up to 1200 V and a non-repetitive peak forward current of less than 1230 A. This diode is based on the 5th generation CoolSiC technology that offers improved system efficiency over traditional Silicon-based diodes. It exhibits temperature-independent switching behavior that results in excellent thermal performance and extended surge current capability.
The IDW30G120C5B provides a low forward voltage even at high operating temperatures and has a tight forward voltage distribution. This RoHS-compliant Schottky diode is designed to offer an increased power density, optimal size/cost savings due to reduced heatsink requirements, and smaller magnetics, and protects against electromagnetic interference. It is available in a through-hole package that measures 15.70 x 40.60 mm.
