APT2X60DC120J

Overview

The APT2X60DC120J is a dual anti-parallel silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode module manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features two independent diodes housed in an SOT-227 package with a base-mount configuration. The device supports a maximum DC reverse voltage of 1200 V and an average forward current of 60 A per diode. Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 1.8 V at 60 A, zero reverse recovery time, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 1.2 mA at 1200 V.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky technology for superior thermal performance and high-temperature operation.
• Features dual anti-parallel configuration within a single SOT-227 base-mounted package.
• Provides zero reverse recovery time to minimize switching losses and electromagnetic interference.

Applications

• High-frequency power conversion circuits
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems
• Industrial motor drives

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as this component may be listed under Microsemi or Microchip Technology depending on the supply chain source.
