STTH6006W
Turbo 2 ultrafast - high voltage rectifier
Features and benefits
■ Ultrafast switching
■ Low reverse current
■ Low thermal resistance
■ Reduces conduction and switching losses
Description
The STTH6006W uses ST Turbo 2 600 V
technology. This device is specially suited for use
in switching power supplies, and industrial
applications. The V
F
/ T
rr
trade-off has been
specially established to increase the performance
in welding applications.
