Product details
Overview
56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-power, press-pack silicon rectifier diode designed for industrial DC power conversion in low-voltage, high-current applications. It delivers 11,140 A average forward current at 90 °C case temperature, 81,000 A non-repetitive surge current, and features a low on-state voltage of 0.73 V (VT0) with 0.024 mΩ slope resistance, enabling efficient operation in resistance welding and electroplating rectifiers.
For engineers reviewing the 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 datasheet, 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 pinout, 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 application, or 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified thermal resistance (RthJC = 5.8 K/kW), clamping force range (30–45 kN), dual-sided cooling compatibility, and its rated VRRM of 400–600 V for galvanic and welding systems requiring robust power cycling capability.
Technical Context
This device is a two-terminal, unidirectional, press-fit silicon rectifier diode with no integrated gate or control circuitry. Its conduction behavior follows a defined on-state characteristic (vF = A + B·iF + C·ln(iF) + D·iF²) across 2.1–37 kA, and it operates with a maximum junction temperature of 180 °C under continuous conduction.
Thermal performance is defined for two-sided forced cooling, with transient thermal impedance ZthJC modeled using seven analytical RC elements. Mechanical mounting requires controlled clamping force (30–45 kN) between anode and cathode surfaces to ensure stable contact resistance and thermal transfer.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400–600 V: Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks without breakdown during AC line commutation or transient recovery. |
| IFAVM | 11,140 A @ TC = 90 °C: Sustained DC forward current rating defining continuous power handling under specified heatsink conditions. |
| IFSM | 81,000 A @ tP = 10 ms, Tvj = 25 °C: Peak short-circuit surge current capability used for weld transformer secondary protection sizing. |
| VT0 / rT | 0.73 V / 0.024 mΩ: Threshold voltage and slope resistance defining on-state conduction loss profile at high current (8–37 kA). |
| RthJC | 5.8 K/kW (two-sided): Junction-to-case thermal resistance determining required heatsink capacity for safe 180 °C max junction operation. |
| Clamping Force | 30–45 kN: Required mechanical compression load to maintain low-contact-resistance interface between Si pellet and copper electrodes. |
| Max Diameter / Height | 56 mm Ø × 5 mm height: Physical envelope defining mounting hole pattern and stack integration in modular rectifier assemblies. |
Pinout & Package
56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 uses a press-pack, double-sided cooled, stud-type package with two terminals: Terminal 1 (Anode) and Terminal 2 (Cathode). No leadframe or plastic encapsulation - thermal and electrical paths are established via direct metal-to-silicon pressure contact under controlled clamping force.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Forward current entry point | High-current input terminal; must be mounted to heatsink/anode-side cooler with compliant interface and torque-controlled clamping. |
| 2 (Cathode) | Forward current exit point | High-current output terminal; electrically isolated from anode side but thermally coupled in two-sided cooling configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High power cycling capability | Validated for >10⁵ cycles under ΔTvj = 100 °C, enabling reliable use in intermittent high-duty-cycle resistance welding. |
| Low on-state losses | 0.73 V threshold + 0.024 mΩ slope yields <1.2 kW conduction loss at 10 kA, reducing cooling system size and energy waste. |
| Two-sided cooling interface | Thermal path optimized for simultaneous anode- and cathode-side heat extraction, doubling effective surface area vs. single-sided packages. |
| Robust mechanical construction | 110 g mass and 50 mm cathode diameter support stable mounting in high-vibration environments (50 Hz, 50 m/s²). |
Applications
| Resistance Welding Power Supply | Galvanic Rectification System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in medium-frequency inverter-based spot welders delivering pulsed 20–50 kA currents.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mainline rectifier element in multi-diode parallel stacks supplying stable low-ripple DC to electrolytic cells. Use Value: 11.1 kA IFAVM supports high duty cycle; low VT0/rT minimizes voltage drop and improves process current regulation. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency freewheeling and rectification component in dual-active-bridge or SCR-based chargers. Use Value: 0.024 mΩ rT reduces conduction loss by ~18% vs. legacy 50 mm diodes; dual-sided cooling simplifies thermal management in dense rack layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MDD500-16N1 | 1600 V VRRM, 5000 A IFAVM, module-based press-pack with integrated heatsink interface | Higher voltage rating suits HVDC links; lower current rating requires parallel strings for 11 kA+ systems | Select when system reverse voltage exceeds 600 V or standardized module footprint is required. |
| Powerex CM1000HA-24F | 2400 V VRRM, 1000 A IFAVM, stud-mount fast recovery diode with soft recovery | Designed for switching converters; unsuitable for pure rectification due to lower IFAVM and higher VF | Not recommended for low-voltage high-current rectification; consider only for snubbing or auxiliary circuits. |
Compared with MDD500-16N1 and CM1000HA-24F, 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 uniquely balances ultra-high IFAVM (11.1 kA), moderate VRRM (600 V), and press-pack mechanical robustness-making it optimal for dedicated low-voltage industrial rectifier stacks where current density and thermal cycling reliability are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the correct clamping force range for 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 installation?
The diode requires a controlled mechanical clamping force between 30 kN and 45 kN applied across the anode and cathode surfaces. This range ensures optimal contact resistance and thermal transfer without damaging the silicon pellet or deforming the copper electrodes. Use calibrated hydraulic or torque-controlled tooling; deviation outside this window risks premature failure or thermal runaway.
Can 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 be used with single-sided cooling?
No - the device is characterized and rated exclusively for two-sided cooling, as confirmed by its RthJC = 5.8 K/kW specification and transient thermal model. Single-sided operation violates datasheet thermal limits and may cause junction overheating beyond 180 °C, even at reduced current. Mounting must provide active cooling interfaces on both anode and cathode faces.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum allowable case temperature is not fixed - it depends on operating current. At IFAVM = 11,140 A, TC must not exceed 90 °C; at 10,300 A, TC may rise to 100 °C. The derating curve in the datasheet (page 8) defines TC vs. IFAVM; exceeding these limits risks accelerated aging or thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of on-state voltage.
Does 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
No - as a standard power rectifier diode (not a fast- or ultrafast-recovery type), 56DN06B02ELEMXPSA1 does not specify trr. Its design prioritizes low conduction loss and high surge capability over switching speed. It is intended for line-frequency or medium-frequency (≤2 kHz) rectification where reverse recovery is managed by circuit commutation, not device physics.
