STTH3006PI General Purpose Rectifier Diode Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The STTH3006PI is a general purpose rectifier diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics, rated for 600V DC reverse voltage and 30A average rectified current. This through-hole component features fast recovery characteristics with a reverse recovery time of 70 nanoseconds, making it suitable for standard rectification applications requiring moderate switching speeds. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, design flexibility, or supply chain considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the STTH3006PI are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitution criteria are defined by the following key parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 600V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 30A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1.85V @ 30A
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 70ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 25µA @ 600V
• Speed Classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DOP3I-2 Insulated (Straight Leads)
• Supplier Device Package: DOP3I

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The STTH30R06PI is a direct parametric equivalent to the STTH3006PI. Both parts are manufactured by STMicroelectronics and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance differences.

Both parts maintain active production status and carry ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring regulatory conformance for applications subject to hazardous substance restrictions. The unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) on both parts indicates no special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.

The identical reverse recovery time of 70 nanoseconds, forward voltage drop of 1.85V at 30A, and reverse leakage current of 25µA at 600V ensure functional interchangeability in all circuit applications. The DOP3I-2 through-hole package with straight leads provides identical mechanical fit and thermal characteristics for both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can STTH30R06PI be used as a direct replacement for STTH3006PI?

A: Yes. The STTH30R06PI is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings (600V, 30A), forward voltage characteristics (1.85V @ 30A), reverse recovery time (70ns), and mechanical packaging (DOP3I-2 through-hole). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same operating temperature rating of 175°C maximum junction temperature.

Q: Are there any differences in the package or mounting between these parts?

A: No. Both the STTH3006PI and STTH30R06PI use the DOP3I-2 insulated package with straight leads for through-hole mounting. The mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and thermal characteristics are identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level ratings. They are suitable for applications with identical regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between STTH3006PI and STTH30R06PI part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ in their base designations (STTH3006 versus STTH30), but the electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Both are manufactured by STMicroelectronics and are classified as fast recovery rectifier diodes with 600V and 30A ratings.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. The identical DOP3I-2 package configuration with straight leads ensures mechanical and thermal compatibility. No PCB layout modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: voltage rating (600V), current rating (30A), forward voltage (1.85V @ 30A), reverse recovery time (70ns), reverse leakage current (25µA @ 600V), package type (DOP3I-2), mounting method (through-hole), and compliance status (ROHS3).
