Product details
Overview
681-1D from Microsemi is a fast recovery rectifier assembly in doubler configuration, housed in an electrically isolated aluminum case, rated for 100 V VRWM, 15 A average DC output current at TC = 55 °C, 150 A non-repetitive surge current, and 500 ns reverse recovery time - used in high-reliability AC/DC front-end power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the 681-1D datasheet, 681-1D pinout, 681-1D application, or 681-1D equivalent, key selection factors include its doubler topology, 100 V working peak reverse voltage, 150 °C junction temperature rating, RoHS-compliant matte tin terminals, and thermal resistance of 6.0 °C/W (junction-to-case).
Technical Context
The 681-1D implements a dual-diode doubler configuration with common cathodes, enabling full-wave voltage doubling without external transformer center taps. Its electrically isolated aluminum case provides both mechanical robustness and thermal conduction path to heatsinks.
It operates with controlled avalanche characteristics and supports 180° conduction-angle sine-wave inputs at 50/60 Hz. The device is characterized at 25 °C and derated linearly above 55 °C case temperature per Figure 3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 100 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating limit in AC line rectification |
| IO (TC = 55 °C) | 15 A - max average DC output current per leg under forced-air or heatsink-cooled conditions |
| IFSM | 150 A - non-repetitive surge capability for inrush current handling during power-up |
| trr | 500 ns - reverse recovery time measured at IF = 1.0 A, IRM = 1.0 A, IR(REC) = 0.5 A; critical for high-frequency switching efficiency |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables operation in high-ambient industrial environments |
| RθJC | 6.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case; determines minimum heatsink requirement for thermal management |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar doubler rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-15EWH06-M3 | Single-phase bridge (4-pin), 600 V VRWM, 15 A IO, TO-247AC package, no case isolation | Requires external isolation and heatsink insulation; higher VRWM but lower trr (35 ns) | Preferred where higher voltage margin and faster recovery are prioritized over mechanical integration and thermal coupling |
| ON Semiconductor MUR1560G | Single ultrafast diode (2-pin), 600 V VRWM, 15 A IO, TO-220AC package, non-isolated | Needs two devices + external wiring for doubler function; lacks integrated case isolation and thermal path | Selected when board-level flexibility and discrete layout control outweigh benefits of monolithic doubler integration |
Compared with 681-1D, VS-15EWH06-M3 offers higher voltage rating and faster recovery but requires external isolation and lacks the integrated thermal interface; MUR1560G delivers superior speed and cost efficiency per diode but increases assembly complexity and thermal design effort for doubler implementation.

FAQ
What does the "D" suffix mean in 681-1D?
The "D" suffix in 681-1D denotes doubler configuration - a two-diode arrangement with shared cathode (+) output and separate AC input terminals (AC1 and AC2). This allows voltage doubling from a single secondary winding, eliminating the need for a center-tapped transformer. The 681-1D is not a center-tap device; its pinout and internal topology are distinct from P/N-suffixed variants.
Is 681-1D RoHS compliant?
Yes, 681-1D is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" designation in its full part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. It uses matte tin plating on terminals and meets Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The device carries no lead-based solder or restricted substances, and its packaging documentation (RF01151 Rev A) explicitly confirms RoHS compliance.
What is the maximum junction temperature for 681-1D?
The maximum junction temperature for 681-1D is +150 °C, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of RF01151 Rev A. This rating enables reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial cabinets or avionics bays, provided thermal design maintains case temperature within derating limits shown in Figure 3.
Can 681-1D replace a center-tap rectifier like 681-1P?
No, 681-1D cannot directly replace 681-1P because they have different topologies and pinouts: 681-1D is a doubler (AC1/AC2/+), while 681-1P is a center-tap positive (AC/+/-). Substitution would require PCB redesign, transformer rewiring, and verification of voltage/current stress redistribution. The 681-1D datasheet does not claim functional or pin compatibility with P/N-suffixed variants.
What is the forward voltage drop of 681-1D at rated current?
The forward voltage drop of 681-1D is 1.2 V per leg at 10 A and 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of RF01151 Rev A. This value applies to each diode in the doubler pair under DC or low-frequency sinusoidal conduction; actual VF rises with temperature and may reach ~1.4 V at 100 °C junction temperature.
