Product details
Overview
D1331SH45TXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a press-pack, stud-mounted, fast-recovery high-voltage diode designed for medium-voltage converter freewheeling and snubber applications. It delivers VRRM = 4500 V, IFAVM = 1310 A (TC = 85 °C), IFSM = 28 kA, rT = 0.948 mΩ, and soft reverse recovery (FRRS = 1.6) in a 121 mm diameter, dual-sided cooled package with 36–52 kN clamping force.
For engineers reviewing the D1331SH45TXPSA1 datasheet, D1331SH45TXPSA1 pinout, D1331SH45TXPSA1 application, or D1331SH45TXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.2 V max forward voltage at 2500 A, 3.5 mAs max recovered charge under 1000 A/µs di/dt, 140 °C max junction temperature, and two-sided thermal resistance of 7.5 K/kW - all critical for IGCT/IGBT snubber and pulsed-power freewheeling designs.
Technical Context
This diode employs a silicon pressure-contact pellet structure with no bond wires or solder layers, enabling ultra-high surge current capability and robust thermal cycling performance. Its soft reverse recovery behavior (FRRS = 1.6) and low stored charge (Qr ≤ 3.5 mAs) minimize voltage overshoot during forced commutation in high-di/dt circuits.
The device operates with dual-sided cooling via anode and cathode contact surfaces, achieving RthJC = 7.5 K/kW under DC conditions. Its transient thermal impedance model includes seven RC network elements, supporting accurate junction temperature prediction in pulsed-power duty cycles up to 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 4500 V - Withstands repetitive 50/60 Hz reverse voltage up to 4.5 kV without breakdown. |
| IFAVM | 1310 A @ TC = 85 °C - Continuous average forward current rating under standard heatsink conditions. |
| IFSM | 28000 A @ tP = 10 ms - Peak non-repetitive surge current handling for short-circuit protection. |
| rT | 0.948 mΩ - Slope resistance defining linear on-state voltage drop above threshold (vF = VT0 + rT·iF). |
| FRRS | 1.6 - Reverse recovery softness factor quantifying gradual current decay to limit dv/dt stress on switching devices. |
| RthJC | 7.5 K/kW - Thermal resistance from junction to case under two-sided DC cooling, enabling precise thermal design. |
| Qr | 3.5 mAs - Recovered charge during turn-off, directly impacting snubber loss and voltage overshoot in clamp circuits. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft turn-off behavior | FRRS = 1.6 ensures controlled reverse recovery current decay, reducing EMI and voltage spikes in high-di/dt converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, high-current freewheeling diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MDD1300-45 | VRRM = 4500 V, IFAVM = 1300 A, but uses solder-bonded die and single-sided cooling (RthJC = 11.5 K/kW). | Limited to lower di/dt and thermal cycling endurance due to metallurgical interconnects. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, lower-reliability industrial drives where dual-sided cooling is unavailable. |
| Powerex CM1300HA-45H | VRRM = 4500 V, IFAVM = 1300 A, but features faster recovery (trr < 2 µs vs. ~3.5 µs) and higher FRRS (≥2.0). | Better suited for very high-frequency snubbing but exhibits higher forward voltage (vF = 4.5 V @ 2500 A). | Choose when minimizing reverse recovery time outweighs forward conduction loss in resonant topologies. |
Compared with MDD1300-45 and CM1300HA-45H, D1331SH45TXPSA1 offers superior thermal management via dual-sided cooling and enhanced mechanical robustness through pressure-contact construction - making it optimal for mission-critical medium-voltage converters requiring long service life under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping force required for proper thermal contact?
The D1331SH45TXPSA1 requires a mechanical clamping force between 36 kN and 52 kN to ensure optimal thermal interface resistance between the anode/cathode surfaces and the heatsink. Exceeding 52 kN risks damaging the internal pressure-contact structure, while forces below 36 kN increase RthCH and risk localized overheating under full load.
Does this diode require a heatsink on both sides?
Yes - the device is explicitly rated for two-sided cooling, with RthJC = 7.5 K/kW specified only under dual-sided thermal contact. Using single-sided cooling degrades thermal resistance to ≥13.3 K/kW (anode-side) or ≥17.2 K/kW (cathode-side), requiring significant current derating and risking junction temperature exceedance above 125 °C.
Can D1331SH45TXPSA1 be used in 60 Hz rectifier bridges?
Yes - its full 50/60 Hz blocking capability over –40 °C to +140 °C junction temperature range, combined with 4500 V VRRM and 1310 A IFAVM, makes it suitable for line-frequency medium-voltage rectification. However, its soft recovery profile is optimized for forced-commutated converters, not passive rectifiers where faster recovery may reduce losses.
What is the significance of the "XPSA1" suffix in the part number?
The "XPSA1" suffix denotes Infineon's internal revision and packaging variant: "XP" indicates extended performance grade, "SA" specifies the standard anode/cathode stud configuration with 121 mm diameter and 26 mm height, and "1" identifies the first release of this mechanical variant per the D1331SH family. It does not indicate RoHS or halogen-free status.
