Product details
Overview
1N5399-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5A general-purpose silicon rectifier diode with 1000V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.1V forward voltage drop at 1.5A, and 50A non-repetitive surge capability-designed for AC/DC input stage rectification in offline power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial control power circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5399-T datasheet, 1N5399-T pinout, 1N5399-T application, or 1N5399-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, IO derating above 70°C, thermal resistance (RθJA = 55°C/W), and DO-15 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This axial-lead rectifier operates in single-phase, half-wave configurations with resistive or inductive loads at 60Hz; capacitive loads require 20% current derating. Its fast switching behavior enables high-efficiency operation in low-frequency power conversion stages.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-ambient (55°C/W) and junction-to-lead (25°C/W) resistances, with rated operating temperature spanning –65°C to +150°C and maximum reverse leakage of 5.0μA at 25°C and 50μA at 100°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands peak reverse voltages up to 1000V in AC line rectification without breakdown. |
| IO | 1.5 A @ TA = 70°C - Continuous average forward current rating under standard heatsinking conditions. |
| VF | 1.1 V @ IF = 1.5A - Low conduction loss enabling efficient power delivery in 12–48V output supplies. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Handles short-duration inrush surges common during cold-start of switch-mode power supplies. |
| RθJA | 55 °C/W - Defines thermal rise per watt dissipated in still-air ambient; requires board-level copper area for sustained 1.5A operation. |
| CT | 20 pF @ 1MHz, 4VR - Minimal junction capacitance avoids high-frequency noise coupling in EMI-sensitive designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-15 molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), axial-leaded, cathode band marked on body. Lead finish: matte tin, solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; must withstand full surge current and reverse recovery stress. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit point | Connected to bulk capacitor or load return; polarity marking (band) ensures correct orientation in PCB layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast switching recovery | Enables higher efficiency than standard 1N400x series in 50/60Hz rectifiers with reduced switching loss. |
| 50A surge rating | Supports reliable startup in power supplies with large input capacitors without fuse tripping or device failure. |
| Low reverse leakage | 5.0 μA max at 25°C ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on systems like smart meters. |
| RoHS-compliant finish | Tin-plated leads meet EU Directive 2002/95/EC with exemptions applied per Annex Notes 5 and 7. |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Adapter Input Stage | Industrial PLC Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 115/230VAC mains input before bulk capacitor filtering in wall-wart adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: General-purpose rectifier performing half-wave or full-wave bridge function. Use Value: 1000V VRRM provides margin against line transients; 1.1V VF limits conduction heating at 1.5A output. | Use Scenario: Converting unregulated AC to DC in programmable logic controller power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side rectifier in isolated flyback or forward converter front-end. Use Value: 50A IFSM tolerates repeated motor contactor switching surges without degradation. |
| LED Driver Bulk Rectification | DC Motor Control Snubber Circuit |
Use Scenario: Full-wave rectification feeding constant-current LED driver ICs in streetlight fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line-frequency rectifier delivering stable DC bus to downstream buck or boost controllers. Use Value: Low RθJA (55°C/W) allows operation at 70°C ambient without forced cooling in enclosed housings. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path across brushed DC motor windings during PWM commutation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode providing inductive energy recirculation path. Use Value: Fast recovery minimizes voltage overshoot during turn-off; 1000V rating covers back-EMF spikes up to 800V. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5408-T | 3A IO, same VRRM (1000V), higher VF (1.2V), larger DO-201AD package | Higher current capacity but requires more PCB real estate and thermal management | Select when >1.5A continuous output or higher surge margin is required. |
| UF5408-T | 3A IO, 1000V VRRM, ultrafast recovery (~75ns), higher VF (1.7V) | Optimized for high-frequency switching; not recommended for pure 50/60Hz rectification due to cost/performance trade-off | Select only if used in PFC or high-frequency auxiliary supplies where fast recovery reduces losses. |
Compared with 1N5399-T, 1N5408-T offers higher current headroom at the cost of larger footprint and slightly higher conduction loss, while UF5408-T trades increased forward loss for nanosecond-scale recovery-making it over-specified for standard line-frequency use.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1.5A operation?
The 1N5399-T is rated for 1.5A average forward current at TA = 70°C. Above this, current must be linearly derated per Figure 1 in the datasheet: at 100°C ambient, maximum IO drops to approximately 1.1A. Adequate PCB copper area and airflow are essential to maintain safe junction temperature.
Can 1N5399-T replace 1N4007 in existing designs?
Yes, 1N5399-T is a direct functional upgrade to 1N4007: both share 1000V VRRM, but 1N5399-T offers higher IO (1.5A vs. 1.0A), lower VF (1.1V vs. 1.2V), and superior surge rating (50A vs. 30A). No layout change is needed-it uses the same DO-15 package and cathode band marking.
Is 1N5399-T lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, 1N5399-T features a lead-free, RoHS-compliant tin finish per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, with exemptions applied for glass and high-temperature solder per Annex Notes 5 and 7. It meets J-STD-020C moisture sensitivity Level 1 and is qualified for standard reflow and wave soldering processes.
Does 1N5399-T have a specified reverse recovery time?
No, the datasheet does not specify reverse recovery time (trr) for 1N5399-T. It is classified as a general-purpose rectifier-not an ultrafast or fast-recovery type. For applications requiring trr < 500ns, consider alternatives such as UF5408-T or BYV26E, which provide documented recovery characteristics.
