The Infineon CoolSiC™ Schottky diodes generation 5 1200 V, 15 A is also available in a TO-247 real 2-pin package, for easy exchange of bipolar Si diodes. The expanded 8.7 mm creepage and clearance distances in the new package offer extra safety in high-pollution environments. Combined with a Si IGBT or super-junction MOSFET, for example in a Vienna rectifier stage or PFC boost stage used in 3-phase conversion systems, a CoolSiC™ diode raises efficiency up to 1% compared to next best Si diode alternative. No reverse recovery current, no forward recovery voltage
Temperature-independent switching behaviour
Low forward voltage even at high operating temperature
Tight forward voltage distribution
High surge current capability
