Product details
Overview
D1481N62TXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-power, hermetically sealed ceramic-packaged press-pack rectifier diode designed for medium-voltage converter and crowbar applications. It delivers VRRM = 6800 V, IFAVM = 1590 A (TC = 100 °C), IFSM = 28 kA, VT0 = 0.75 V, and rT = 0.42 mΩ, operating reliably across –40 °C to +160 °C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the D1481N62TXPSA1 datasheet, D1481N62TXPSA1 pinout, D1481N62TXPSA1 application, or D1481N62TXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping force (15–36 kN), two-sided thermal resistance (RthJC = 14 K/kW), reverse recovery charge (Qr = 11 mAs), and case non-rupture current capability in pulsed power systems.
Technical Context
This device is a silicon press-pack diode with double-sided cooling interface and pressure-contact die assembly, enabling high-current conduction and robust surge handling without solder interconnects. Its design supports DC blocking stability up to 6800 V and maintains low forward voltage drop (vF ≤ 1.80 V at 2500 A) even at Tvj = 160 °C.
The diode exhibits controlled reverse recovery behavior: Qr = 7.2 mAs (typ.) and IRM = 210 A (typ.) under 100 V reverse bias, with IRM rising to 300 A (max.) at 1000 V - critical for snubberless crowbar and drive rectifier designs where dI/dt stress exceeds 10 A/µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 6800 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; enables use in 6.3 kV-class medium-voltage converters |
| IFAVM | 1590 A @ TC = 100 °C - average on-state current rating defines continuous DC output capability |
| IFSM | 28000 A @ tP = 10 ms - peak non-repetitive surge current withstand for short-circuit protection |
| VT0 / rT | 0.75 V / 0.42 mΩ - threshold voltage and slope resistance determine forward conduction loss at high current |
| RthJC | 14 K/kW (two-sided) - junction-to-case thermal resistance sets minimum heatsink requirement for thermal management |
| Qr | 11 mAs (max) @ VR = 1000 V - recovered charge directly impacts switching losses and snubber sizing in hard-commutated circuits |
| Clamping Force | 15–36 kN - mechanical compression range required to maintain low contact resistance and thermal interface integrity |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed ceramic press-pack package with two metal terminals: Anode (Terminal 1) and Cathode (Terminal 2). Diameter: 76 mm; Contact diameter: 50 mm; Height: 26 mm; Weight: ~600 g. Requires external mechanical clamping for electrical and thermal contact.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Terminal 1) | Current entry point during forward conduction | Must be mounted to heatsink with defined clamping force (15–36 kN); polarity-sensitive for series/parallel stacking |
| Cathode (Terminal 2) | Current exit point during forward conduction | Electrically isolated mounting surface; used for cathode-side cooling or series connection in multi-diode stacks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic ceramic packaging | Enables operation in harsh environments (humidity, dust, vacuum) without encapsulation degradation |
| Two-sided cooling interface | Supports symmetric heat extraction from both anode and cathode, reducing thermal gradient across Si die |
| High case non-rupture current | Withstands mechanical stress from high di/dt-induced Lorentz forces without housing fracture |
| Full 50/60 Hz blocking over –40 °C to +160 °C | Validated DC and AC blocking stability across full industrial temperature range without derating |
Applications
| Drive Rectifier | Medium Voltage Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase AC/DC front-end in high-power motor drives (e.g., traction inverters, industrial extruders). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main-line rectifier conducting >1500 A RMS, handling regenerative energy during braking. Use Value: Low rT (0.42 mΩ) minimizes conduction loss at rated current; high IFSM ensures fault ride-through during grid transients. | Use Scenario: Input stage of 3.3–6.5 kV modular multilevel converters (MMC) for renewable energy integration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uncontrolled rectification in series-stacked valve modules requiring voltage sharing and thermal symmetry. Use Value: 6800 V VRRM and two-sided cooling enable scalable, parallelable architecture with <14 K/kW RthJC. |
| Crowbar Protection | Pulsed Power System |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection in particle accelerator magnet supplies or fusion plasma control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting crowbar switch that shorts faulted DC bus to trigger upstream breaker tripping. Use Value: High IFSM (28 kA) and low Qr (11 mAs) ensure reliable conduction initiation without thermal runaway during microsecond-scale faults. | Use Scenario: Pulse-forming network (PFN) charging and discharge switching in radar modulators and laser drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current freewheeling diode managing inductive kickback in repetitive pulse cycles. Use Value: Hermetic ceramic housing prevents outgassing in vacuum chambers; creepage distance ≥30 mm supports high-voltage isolation in compact layouts. |

FAQ
What is the recommended clamping force range for D1481N62TXPSA1?
The device requires mechanical clamping between 15 kN and 36 kN to ensure optimal thermal contact and low-resistance current path. Below 15 kN, contact resistance rises sharply; above 36 kN risks ceramic housing fracture. Force must be applied uniformly using calibrated torque tools per Infineon's mounting guidelines.
Does D1481N62TXPSA1 support single-sided cooling?
Yes - it supports anode-sided, cathode-sided, or two-sided cooling configurations. Thermal resistance varies: RthJC = 27.0 K/kW (anode-only), 29.0 K/kW (cathode-only), and 14.0 K/kW (two-sided). Two-sided is strongly recommended for rated current operation to avoid localized hot spots.
How does reverse recovery performance vary with voltage?
At 100 V reverse bias, Qr = 7.2 mAs (typ.) and IRM = 210 A (typ.); at 1000 V, Qr increases to 11 mAs (max.) and IRM to 300 A (max.). This voltage-dependent behavior reflects carrier lifetime modulation and must be accounted for in snubber design.
Can D1481N62TXPSA1 be paralleled with other diodes?
Yes - but only with matched units (same lot, identical VF and Qr characteristics) and symmetrical mechanical/electrical layout. Parallel operation requires individual current-sharing resistors or forced-air-cooled heatsinks with <±2 K temperature uniformity across all devices.
