OH10-62-116 High-Voltage Diode

Hello Experts,

I’m in the midst of designing a medium-power HV module and came across a diode called OH10-62-116. Its specs look solid for my use case (reverse voltage, current rating, switching characteristics), but as always I prefer to check with folks who’ve used them in real circuits.

I intend to use the OH10-62-116 in a boost converter stage, clamping spikes, or for reverse voltage protection in a 600 V module. The datasheet claims decent reverse recovery and recovery times, but in hard switching environments I’m concerned about switching losses and thermal stress.

I’ll have rapidly changing currents and possibly avalanche events, so robustness is key.

In practice, do you see much performance degradation (higher forward drop, slower switching) over time, especially in hard stress conditions? What layout/packaging practices do you use around such diodes to reduce ringing, voltage overshoot, or EMI? How do you manage thermal design for them, how much margin do you leave, or do you derate currents significantly?

Thanks in advance.
