C4D10120A
Cree C4D10120A SiC Schottky diode, 1200 V, 10 A in TO-220-2 with 175 °C junction rating and zero reverse recovery.
The C4D10120A is a Cree C4D silicon carbide Schottky diode rated at 1200 V with a 10 A forward current, in the TO-220-2 package. Because a SiC Schottky diode stores essentially no charge, it has no reverse-recovery loss and no recovery noise, which makes it ideal for the freewheeling, rectification and power-factor-correction paths of high-frequency converters such as on-board chargers, solar and storage inverters, switched-mode power supplies and motor drives. The 1200 V rating suits converters that run from a high DC bus with margin for switching overshoot, and the diode has a positive temperature coefficient of forward voltage, so it can be paralleled for higher current without thermal runaway and it switches the same hot or cold. The TO-220-2 package mounts on a standard heatsink and is easy to design in, and the diode is rated to a 175 °C maximum junction temperature. Typical uses include PFC boost rectification, freewheeling in a bridge, output rectification and general high-frequency rectification where recovery loss matters. Every device BeiLuo ships is factory-traceable and includes an import declaration, a certificate of origin and a RoHS compliance file. BeiLuo holds this class in stock and our FAE team supports diode selection, paralleling and thermal design.
FAE Professional Review
The C4D10120A is the 1200 V SiC diode we pair with 1200 V switching stages when recovery loss and EMI matter. The zero reverse recovery keeps the freewheeling and PFC paths quiet, and the 1200 V rating matches the C3M 1200 V MOSFETs for a consistent voltage class. It replaces a silicon fast-recovery diode directly in most designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What projects suit the C4D10120A?
It fits high-frequency rectification, freewheeling and PFC in converters that run from a 1200 V class bus, such as on-board chargers, solar and storage inverters, power supplies and motor drives. The 10 A rating and TO-220-2 package suit a wide range of these designs.
For higher current, the C4D40120D is the larger option.
How do I pair the diode with a switch?
Match the diode's forward current and package thermal path to the switch current and the freewheeling duty, then confirm the cooling. A fast SiC switch deserves a SiC diode so the freewheeling path does not dominate loss.
Our FAE team can recommend a matched pair.
Is the diode genuine and in stock?
BeiLuo supplies factory-traceable C4D10120A diodes through Cree/Wolfspeed's authorized channel, with import declaration, certificate of origin and RoHS files on every order. Stock is normally available.
