## **Features** - Low forward voltage drop - High reliability - High surge current capability This device is an ultrafast diode based on a high voltage planar technology, it is perfectly suited for freewheeling, clamping, snubbering, demagnetization in power supplies and other power switching applications. Housed in SMB and SMC packages, this diode reduces the losses in high switching frequency operations. **Table 1: Device summary** |**Symbol**|**Value**| |---|---| |IF(AV)|2 A| |VRRM|1200 V| |Tj|175 °C| |VF(typ.)|1.0 V| |trr(max.)|75 ns| - Soft switching for reduced EMI disturbances - Planar technology June 2017 DocID11497 Rev 2 1/11 This is information on a product in full production. _www.st.com_ **Characteristics** **STTH212** ## **1 Characteristics** **Table 2: Absolute ratings (limiting values per diode at 25 °C, unless otherwise specified)** |**Symbol**|**Parameter**|||**Value**|**Unit**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |VRRM|Repetitive peak reverse voltage|||1200|V| |V(RMS)|RMS voltage|||850|V| |IF(AV)|Average forward current δ = 0.5,
