C2D20120D Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Wolfspeed, Inc. C2D20120D is a Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diode in the Diodes, Rectifiers category. It is configured as a diode array (1 pair common cathode), rated for 1200 V reverse voltage and 22A average rectified current per diode, in a TO-247-3 through-hole package. The device offers zero recovery time, low forward voltage, and is suitable for high-efficiency, high-temperature power electronics. The C2D20120D has been classified as Obsolete. Identifying alternative models with matching electrical and mechanical parameters is essential for continuity in production and design support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part selection is determined strictly by matching or closely aligning the following electrical and mechanical parameters: diode configuration, technology type, maximum reverse voltage (1200 V), package (TO-247-3 through hole), forward voltage rating at a specified current, reverse recovery time, reverse leakage specification, operating junction temperature range, and mounting method. Only parts with the same or compatible compliance and regulatory codes (MSL, RoHS, ECCN) are considered. Average rectified current is compared directly, as it must be sufficient for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part number, C2D20120D, holds an Obsolete product status, making continued usage dependent on remaining inventory. Its direct substitute, C4D20120D, is currently Active and meets all compliance designations provided, including MSL 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and matching HTSUS coding. The substitute part provides a similar technology, packaging format, and electrical performance within the declared ratings, with the main difference being the average rectified current specification. Selection should be based entirely on the operation within the provided parameters and availability status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What justifies C4D20120D as a substitute for C2D20120D?
A1: Both parts are Wolfspeed, Inc. SiC Schottky diodes, with 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration, 1200 V reverse voltage rating, identical packaging (TO-247-3 through hole), and matching forward voltage and speed parameters.

Q2: Is the package, mounting type, and footprint identical between C2D20120D and C4D20120D?
A2: Yes. Both use the TO-247-3 through-hole package, ensuring compatibility in PCB layout and mechanical assembly.

Q3: Are there differences in electrical ratings between these two parts?
A3: The primary difference is the Current - Average Rectified (Io): C2D20120D is rated at 22A per diode, while C4D20120D is rated at 16A per diode. All other key electrical parameters are matched.

Q4: Are both components compliant with international standards?
A4: Both the main and substitute parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code. The substitute C4D20120D also provides additional ROHS3 and REACH status in the input.

Q5: When selecting a replacement, do I need to consider recovery time and voltage ratings?
A5: Both C2D20120D and C4D20120D specify the same reverse recovery time (0 ns), voltage rating (1200 V), reverse leakage current, and other parameters as listed, ensuring strict compatibility within stated limits.
