Description
The second generation of Infineon SiC Schottky diodes has emerged over the years as the industry standard. The IDYxxS120 products are extending the already broad portfolio with the new TO-247HC (high creepage) package.
The new package layout is fully compatible with the industry standard TO247, and can therefore easily be placed in already existing designs, with no extra efforts.
The higher creepage distance increases the safety margin against the risk of short circuits, especially arcing, which might be triggered by the presence of dust or dirt inside the system. This reduces the need of additional chemical (silicone gel or creams) or mechanical (sheaths or foils) solutions to lower the pollution level between the leads, with all consequent benefits of a lean and faster manufacturing process
