C2D10120A

Overview

The Wolfspeed C2D10120A is a dual-channel silicon carbide Schottky diode configured as a common cathode pair. It features a TO-247-3 through-hole package and supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 1200 V. The device handles a total forward current of 10 A, with each diode rated for 5 A. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 1.8 V at 5 A, a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 100 A, and a maximum power dissipation of 138 W. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon carbide (SiC) technology to achieve zero reverse recovery charge, eliminating switching losses associated with minority carrier storage.

Applications

• High-frequency power conversion circuits
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
• Solar micro-inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact pinout and thermal characteristics. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation. Confirm that the component meets the required industrial qualification standards before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing high-efficiency converters requiring low reverse recovery charge. The TO-247-3 package facilitates robust thermal management in through-hole applications. Evaluate the 1200 V rating against system voltage spikes to ensure adequate safety margins during operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Wolfspeed C2D series of discrete SiC Schottky diodes. These components are engineered for high-temperature environments and high-voltage applications. The series offers superior performance compared to traditional silicon rectifiers in terms of switching speed and thermal stability.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent dual-channel SiC diodes. Verify that any replacement matches the 1200 V rating, 10 A total current capacity, and TO-247-3 footprint to maintain circuit integrity.
