■ Ultrafast switching
■ Low reverse current
■ Low thermal resistance
■ Reduces conduction and switching losses
STTH6006W
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
/ Trr trade-off has been
F
specially established to increase the performance
in welding applications.
