Product details
Overview
400DMQ045 from Infineon Technologies is a high-current Schottky rectifier doubler module optimized for low forward voltage drop (0.52 V @ 200 A, TJ = 125°C), 45 V maximum DC reverse voltage, and operation up to 150°C junction temperature - used as freewheeling diodes in high-power welding inverters and reverse-battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 400DMQ045 datasheet, 400DMQ045 pinout, 400DMQ045 application, or 400DMQ045 equivalent, key selection criteria include its isolated TO-244AB package, 29,000 A non-repetitive surge rating, per-leg thermal resistance of 0.4°C/W, and 10,300 pF junction capacitance at 5 V.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky rectifier dies in a single isolated TO-244AB package, enabling dual-leg parallel or half-bridge freewheeling configurations. Each leg supports 400 A average forward current (rectangular waveform, 50% duty cycle, TC = 70°C) and withstands 10,000 V/µs dv/dt without commutation failure.
Proprietary barrier technology ensures stable leakage performance (1 A @ 125°C, rated VR) and ruggedness via integrated guard ring. Thermal design relies on low RthJC (0.4°C/W per leg) and RthCS (0.1°C/W to heatsink), with epoxy encapsulation rated for industrial moisture resistance and mechanical shock.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 45 V - Maximum DC reverse blocking voltage per leg; defines safe operating range in battery-protection and DC-link clamp applications. |
| IF(AV) | 400 A - Average forward current per device (not per leg); requires heatsinking to maintain TC ≤ 70°C under 50% duty rectangular waveform. |
| VF @ 200A | 0.52 V - Forward voltage drop per leg at 200 A and TJ = 125°C; directly determines conduction loss in high-efficiency welder output stages. |
| IFSM | 29,000 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current per leg for 5 µs sine pulse; enables robust short-circuit handling in inverter DC bus protection. |
| RthJC | 0.4 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case per leg; sets minimum heatsink requirement for continuous 400 A operation. |
| CT | 10,300 pF - Junction capacitance per leg at VR = 5 V; impacts high-frequency switching losses and EMI in >20 kHz SMPS designs. |
| TJ Range | −55 to +150 °C - Full operational junction temperature range; supports under-hood and industrial ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-244AB isolated doubler - modified JEDEC outline with electrically isolated baseplate, dual anode/cathode terminals, and center-mounting hole. Designed for bolt-down heatsinking with 24–35 kg·cm torque.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 (A1) | Input terminal for Leg 1 | Connects to high-side switch node in freewheeling path; rated for full 400 A IF(AV) per device. |

| Anode 2 (A2) | Input terminal for Leg 2 | Enables dual-leg parallel configuration or independent half-bridge leg; shares same thermal path as A1. |
| Cathode 2 (K2) | Output terminal for Leg 2 | Independent cathode node; allows split-rail or interleaved converter topologies without shared conduction path. |
| Baseplate | Thermal & electrical reference | Electrically isolated from all terminals (≥2500 V RMS); serves as primary heatsink interface with 0.1 °C/W RthCS when greased and smooth. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS DSSK40-04A | 40 A per leg (vs. 400 A total), TO-247AC package, VF = 0.72 V @ 20 A, TJ max = 175°C | Designed for lower-current, higher-voltage (400 V) SMPS; not scalable to 400 A without paralleling ≥10 units | Select only for space-constrained 20–50 A designs where 175°C rating is critical and paralleling is acceptable. |
| Vishay VS-400EWH04 | 400 A IF(AV), 40 V VRRM, TO-277 package, VF = 0.55 V @ 200 A, RthJC = 0.55 °C/W | Non-isolated SMD package; requires insulated mounting hardware for heatsink attachment; lacks guard ring | Prefer for cost-sensitive, lower-ruggedness applications where baseplate isolation is unnecessary and board-level assembly is prioritized. |
Compared with DSSK40-04A and VS-400EWH04, the 400DMQ045 delivers 10× higher per-device current capacity with superior thermal resistance (0.4 vs. 0.55 °C/W) and built-in isolation - making it uniquely suited for bolt-down, high-reliability industrial welders and UPS systems where layout simplicity and surge immunity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum average forward current rating for the 400DMQ045?
The 400DMQ045 is rated for 400 A average forward current (IF(AV)) per device under 50% duty cycle rectangular waveform conditions at case temperature TC = 70°C. This rating applies to the entire module - not per leg - and assumes proper heatsinking per the 0.4°C/W RthJC spec. Exceeding TC = 70°C requires linear derating per Fig. 5 in the datasheet.
Does the 400DMQ045 have electrically isolated terminals?
Yes, the 400DMQ045 uses a TO-244AB isolated doubler package where the baseplate is electrically isolated from all four terminals (A1, K1, A2, K2) with ≥2500 V RMS dielectric strength. This allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without insulating pads, simplifying thermal design in high-voltage industrial systems.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 400DMQ045 at elevated temperature?
The 400DMQ045 exhibits a forward voltage drop of 0.52 V per leg at 200 A and junction temperature TJ = 125°C. At TJ = 25°C, VF drops to 0.57 V @ 200 A. The low temperature coefficient of VF ensures stable conduction loss across the full −55°C to +150°C operating range.
Can the 400DMQ045 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, the 400DMQ045 supports parallel operation of multiple modules to achieve >400 A total current. Its matched VF characteristics and low thermal resistance (0.4°C/W per leg) enable balanced current sharing when mounted on a common heatsink with uniform thermal interface. Current imbalance remains <10% under typical 400 A load conditions.
What is the surge current capability of the 400DMQ045?
The 400DMQ045 supports 29,000 A peak non-repetitive surge current (IFSM) per leg for a 5 µs sine pulse, and 3,400 A for a 10 ms sine pulse. These ratings are validated per JEDEC standards and reflect its suitability for welder short-circuit protection and UPS fault-current clamping without thermal runaway.
