Hi Adam,

I know that you have changed the power diodes from 60A (Dual 30A) to 90A diodes on your Power PCB to increase the current capacity.

Did you ever look at using (2) STTH6002 in parallel for a 120A operation ? I know the MOSFET’s are rated at 120A and that would seam to be logical for the MOSFETs and Power Diodes to have the same 120A maximum current rating.

I have not tried to see if the Power PCB layout would allow for this. The Sandwich Power PCB layout you have used, might let you put the power diodes back2back ??? for a good fit ???
