Product details
Overview
D1481N65TVFXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-current press-pack rectifier diode designed for medium-voltage converter and crowbar applications. It delivers 6500 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1590 A average forward current at 100 °C case temperature (IFAVM), and 28 kA surge current capability (IFSM) in a hermetically sealed ceramic package with dual-sided cooling interface.
For engineers reviewing the D1481N65TVFXPSA1 datasheet, D1481N65TVFXPSA1 pinout, D1481N65TVFXPSA1 application, or D1481N65TVFXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (14 K/kW), threshold voltage (0.75 V), slope resistance (0.42 mΩ), clamping force range (15–36 kN), and reverse recovery charge (11 mAs at 1000 V).
Technical Context
This device is a silicon-based, pressure-contact rectifier diode optimized for high-reliability DC-link and protection circuits in industrial power electronics. Its two-sided cooling architecture supports symmetrical heat extraction, and its hermetic ceramic housing ensures long-term stability under high-humidity and high-voltage stress conditions.
The diode exhibits low conduction loss (VF = 1.80 V max at 2500 A, 160 °C) and controlled reverse recovery behavior (Qr = 11 mAs max, IRM = 300 A max at 1000 V, -di/dt = 10 A/µs), making it suitable for forced-commutated and line-commutated converters where switching transients must be managed without snubber overdesign.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 6500 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage, enabling use in 6.5 kV-class medium-voltage drives and pulsed power systems |
| IFAVM @ TC=100°C | 1590 A - continuous forward current rating defining steady-state thermal design margin for dual-sided heatsink mounting |
| IFSM (10 ms) | 28000 A - short-circuit surge withstand capability supporting crowbar fault protection in high-energy systems |
| V(TO) / rT | 0.75 V / 0.42 mΩ - linearized on-state model parameters used to calculate conduction loss across operating current range |
| RthJC | 14 K/kW - junction-to-case thermal resistance under two-sided cooling, directly determining required heatsink thermal mass |
| Qr (VR=1000 V) | 11 mAs - recovered charge during reverse recovery, critical for snubber sizing and EMI prediction in hard-switched topologies |
| Clamping Force | 15–36 kN - mechanical compression range ensuring stable contact resistance and thermal interface integrity over lifetime |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DD900S65K4B | 6500 V VRRM, 1800 A IFAVM, but uses isolated baseplate packaging instead of press-pack; higher RthJC (17.5 K/kW) | Requires bolted heatsink interface rather than clamped assembly; less suited for ultra-high-reliability crowbar stacks | Preferred when standardized mounting and lower assembly complexity outweigh absolute thermal performance needs |
| SKKH 152/65 | 6500 V VRRM, 1500 A IFAVM, press-pack with identical 76 mm diameter but lower IFSM (25 kA) and higher Qr (13.5 mAs) | Marginally lower surge rating and slower recovery limit use in high-dV/dt pulsed power systems | Valid alternative where system-level fault current is capped below 25 kA and snubber design accommodates higher Qr |
Compared with DD900S65K4B and SKKH 152/65, D1481N65TVFXPSA1 offers the lowest RthJC (14 K/kW) and highest IFSM (28 kA) among 6.5 kV press-pack diodes, making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-fault-energy crowbar and drive rectifier roles.

FAQ
What is the recommended clamping force range for D1481N65TVFXPSA1?
The device requires mechanical clamping between 15 kN and 36 kN to ensure stable thermal and electrical contact across its anode and cathode surfaces. Below 15 kN, contact resistance increases, raising VF and RthJC; above 36 kN risks ceramic housing fracture. Torque-controlled hydraulic presses are recommended for repeatable assembly in production environments.
Does D1481N65TVFXPSA1 support two-sided cooling?
Yes - the device is explicitly rated for two-sided cooling, with a maximum RthJC of 14 K/kW under that configuration. Its symmetrical ceramic housing and dual metal contact surfaces allow simultaneous heatsink attachment to both anode and cathode, doubling effective thermal path area versus single-sided mounting.
How does reverse recovery performance affect snubber design?
With Qr = 11 mAs (max) and IRM = 300 A (max) at 1000 V, the diode demands precise RC snubber tuning to absorb reverse recovery energy without excessive voltage overshoot. Higher -di/dt rates increase IRM nonlinearly, so snubbers must be validated at worst-case system dI/dt, not just datasheet test conditions.
Can D1481N65TVFXPSA1 be used in series-string configurations?
Yes - its matched VRRM (6500 V), low leakage (≤50 mA), and uniform thermal impedance support series connection for >13 kV systems. However, dynamic voltage sharing requires active gate-controlled snubbers or passive RC networks per device to compensate for parameter spread and temperature drift.
