Sorry Matt...
Hey Matt,
I am sorry to be in disagreement with you again!!
But, I particularly do not like the TO 200 Family type diodes...Maybe is because I had previous very bad experiences with them...
In prior Motor controllers I had used them right next to each MOSFET's...and they had gone bad...the worst part is that they go bad by short circuiting anode-cathode (meaning Drain-Source)...almost never open...and caused further damages...To my concept they are designed for "Lighter Duty" Jobs...
I believe they will never perform like a heavy body rectifier like NTE576.
Which is also the one specified at lower link...with different crossover number (UF5404)
Specification of ultra fast recovery diode and rectifier
