## **Features** ## **Description** This device is an ultrafast recovery power rectifier dedicated to energy recovery in PDP applications. Especially designed for the clamping function in energy recovery blocks, the performance is optimized thanks to a compromise between forward voltage drop and recovery time. **Table 1: Device summary** |**Symbol**|**Value**| |---|---| |IF(AV)|20 A| |VRRM|400 V| |Tj(max.)|175 °C| |VF(typ.)|1.15 V| |trr(typ.)|18 ns| - Ultrafast recovery - Low power losses - High surge capability - Low leakage current - High junction temperature - Insulated package: TO-220FPAC - insulating voltage: 2000 VRMS sine - ECOPACK[®] 2 compliant component for D²PAK on demand August 2017 DocID13973 Rev 2 1/16 This is information on a product in full production. _www.st.com_ **Characteristics** **STTH20R04** ## **1 Characteristics** **Table 2: Absolute ratings (limiting values, at 25 °C, unless otherwise specified)** |**Symbol**|**Parameter**|**Parameter**|**Parameter**|**Value**|**Unit**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |VRRM|Repetitivepeak reverse voltage|||400|V| |IF(RMS)|Forward rms current|||50|A| |IF(peak)|Peak working forward current
