HERMETIC SILICON CARBIDE RECTIFIER
DESCRIPTION: A 1200-VOLT, 20 AMP POWER SILICON CARBIDE RECTIFIER IN A CERAMIC
HERMETIC LCC-3P PACKAGE
FEATURES:
• NO RECOVERY TIME OR REVERSE RECOVERY LOSSES
• NO TEMPERATURE INFLUENCE ON SWITCHING BEHAVIOR
• SCREENED VERSIONS ARE AVAI LABLE
MAXIMUM RATINGS ALL RATING S ARE @ TC = 25 °C UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION, TC = 25 OC Pd 40 W
MAXIMUM THERMAL RESISTANCE, Junction to Case (PER DUAL PACKAGE) RθJC 0.9 °C/W
MAXIMUM OPERATING and STORAGE TEMPERATURE RANGE* Top, Tstg -55 to +200 °C
* Note: SiC semiconductors will handle at or above this operating and storage temperature. However, extended operational use of the
packaged device above 175C may reduce its future performance. All qualification testing and screening per MIL-PRF-19500 will only be
performed to 175C.

PINOUT TABLE
Application Note: Customers should be aware that at the current stage of technical development of SiC, the reverse avalanche
capabilities of the device are limited.
Customer designs will need to accommodate these limitations and avoid exposure of the device to this and other potentially
damaging conditions in their applications.
