STTH6010W Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The STTH6010W is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics, rated for 1000 V DC reverse voltage and 60 A average rectified current in a DO-247 through-hole package. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to component availability, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within specified parameter ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the STTH6010W are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 1000 V minimum
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package compatibility: DO-247 or TO-247 variants
• Speed classification: Fast Recovery ≤ 500ns, > 200mA (Io)
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Current Rating Consideration: Substitute parts may operate at different average rectified current ratings (Io) provided the voltage and thermal specifications remain within system design limits. The STTH6010W operates at 60 A; substitute parts with higher current ratings (such as 80 A) provide additional design margin, while lower current ratings (such as 15 A) require verification of application current requirements.

Reverse Recovery Time: All qualified substitutes maintain fast recovery characteristics within the ≤ 500ns specification range, ensuring compatibility with switching applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

STTH6010W (Primary Component) The STTH6010W remains the primary selection for applications requiring 60 A average rectified current at 1000 V with standard technology classification. This component is Active status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation.

APT15D100BG (Lower Current Substitute) The APT15D100BG is suitable for applications where the average rectified current requirement does not exceed 15 A. This substitute maintains 1000 V voltage rating and fast recovery characteristics. The higher reverse recovery time (260 ns) and increased reverse leakage current (250 µA) are acceptable trade-offs in lower-current applications. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and Active status.

RURG80100 (Higher Current Substitute) The RURG80100 is suitable for applications requiring current ratings up to 80 A at 1000 V. This substitute employs Avalanche technology and provides lower forward voltage drop (1.9 V @ 80 A) compared to the main part. The reverse recovery time (200 ns) and reverse leakage current (250 µA) remain within acceptable fast recovery parameters. This component is ROHS3 compliant and Active status with extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

All three components share identical voltage ratings, through-hole mounting, fast recovery speed classification, and regulatory compliance status, establishing the basis for substitution eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the APT15D100BG replace the STTH6010W in all applications?

A: The APT15D100BG is electrically compatible for voltage and switching characteristics but is rated for 15 A average rectified current versus the STTH6010W's 60 A rating. Substitution is valid only when the application current requirement does not exceed 15 A.

Q: What is the primary difference between the RURG80100 and STTH6010W?

A: Both components are rated for 1000 V and fast recovery operation. The RURG80100 supports 80 A average rectified current (versus 60 A for the STTH6010W) and employs Avalanche technology. The RURG80100 exhibits lower forward voltage drop (1.9 V @ 80 A) and operates across a wider temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: Are DO-247 and TO-247 packages mechanically interchangeable?

A: DO-247-2 and TO-247-2 packages are mechanically compatible for through-hole mounting applications. Both packages accommodate identical lead spacing and mounting hole configurations, allowing direct board-level substitution.

Q: Do all three diodes meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: All three components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8541.10.0080. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across all three parts.

Q: What is the significance of reverse recovery time differences?

A: The STTH6010W exhibits the fastest reverse recovery time at 115 ns, followed by the RURG80100 at 200 ns and the APT15D100BG at 260 ns. All three remain within the fast recovery classification (≤ 500ns, > 200mA). Faster recovery times reduce switching losses in high-frequency applications; however, all three parts are suitable for standard fast recovery applications.

Q: How do reverse leakage currents compare?

A: The STTH6010W exhibits the lowest reverse leakage current at 20 µA @ 1000 V. Both substitute parts (APT15D100BG and RURG80100) show 250 µA @ 1000 V. This difference is acceptable in most applications but should be evaluated for low-leakage or high-impedance circuit requirements.
