About this manual

The SDT12S60 is a silicon carbide Schottky diode rated for 600 V with a continuous forward current of 12 A and a low forward voltage drop. It features no reverse recovery charge and stable performance over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for high‑efficiency power conversion.

The datasheet lists detailed electrical parameters (forward voltage, reverse current, capacitance), thermal characteristics (junction‑case and junction‑ambient resistance), power dissipation limits, and mechanical dimensions of the TO‑220‑2‑2 package. It also includes typical forward and reverse characteristic curves and transient thermal impedance data for design reference.
