Product details
Overview
D1481N65TXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-current press-pack rectifier diode designed for medium-voltage converter and crowbar applications. It features VRRM = 6800 V, IFAVM = 1590 A (at TC = 100 °C), IFSM = 28000 A, VT0 = 0.75 V, and rT = 0.42 mΩ - enabling robust DC blocking and surge handling in industrial drive systems.
For engineers reviewing the D1481N65TXPSA1 datasheet, D1481N65TXPSA1 pinout, D1481N65TXPSA1 application, or D1481N65TXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 6.8 kV reverse blocking, 2.5 kA RMS on-state current capability, hermetically sealed ceramic package integrity, clamping force range (15–36 kN), and two-sided thermal resistance (RthJC = 14 K/kW).
Technical Context
This device is a silicon-based, pressure-contact rectifier diode with full 50/60 Hz blocking capability across –40 °C to +160 °C junction temperature. Its design centers on high case non-rupture current and stable DC blocking under sustained high-voltage stress.
The diode uses a double-sided cooled, hermetically sealed ceramic housing with 50 mm contact diameter and 76 mm max outer diameter. Thermal performance is defined by transient ZthJC curves for anode-, cathode-, and two-sided cooling configurations, supporting precise thermal modeling in high-power converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 6800 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; ensures reliable operation in 6.5 kV-class medium-voltage converters |
| IFAVM | 1590 A at TC = 100 °C - average forward current rating; defines continuous conduction capability in drive rectifiers |
| IFSM | 28000 A (10 ms, Tvj = 25 °C) - peak non-repetitive surge current; supports crowbar fault-clearing duty cycles |
| VT0 / rT | 0.75 V / 0.42 mΩ - threshold voltage and slope resistance; determines forward conduction loss and thermal dissipation profile |
| RthJC | 14 K/kW (two-sided cooling) - junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate heatsink sizing for forced-air or liquid-cooled systems |
| Qr / IRM | 11 mAs / 300 A (VR = 1000 V) - recovered charge and peak reverse recovery current; critical for snubber design in high-di/dt switching environments |
| Clamping Force | 15–36 kN - mechanical compression range required to maintain low contact resistance and thermal interface integrity |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed ceramic press-pack diode with two-sided cooling interface, 76 mm max diameter, 26 mm height, 50 mm contact diameter, and dual-terminal (anode/cathode) configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Terminal 1) | Forward current entry point | High-current input terminal; requires ≥15 kN clamping force to ensure low-resistance Si-pellet contact and thermal path |
| Cathode (Terminal 2) | Forward current exit point | High-current output terminal; symmetrically engineered for bidirectional heat extraction in two-sided cooled stacks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full 50/60 Hz blocking over wide temperature range | Stable VRRM retention from –40 °C to +160 °C junction temperature; eliminates derating in ambient-variable industrial enclosures |
| Hermetically sealed ceramic package | IP67-equivalent environmental sealing; prevents moisture ingress and contamination in high-humidity or dusty drive cabinet environments |
| High case non-rupture current | Withstands mechanical stress up to 36 kN clamping without housing fracture; ensures long-term reliability in stacked thyristor/diode assemblies |
| Two-sided thermal interface | Optimized for symmetrical heat extraction from both terminals; reduces hotspot formation in high-duty-cycle pulsed power applications |
| High DC blocking stability | ≤50 mA reverse leakage at VRRM and Tvj max; maintains isolation integrity during extended DC bus hold-up periods |

FAQ
What is the recommended clamping force range for D1481N65TXPSA1?
The specified clamping force is 15–36 kN. Applying force below 15 kN risks elevated contact resistance and thermal runaway; exceeding 36 kN may fracture the ceramic housing. Force must be applied uniformly across both terminals using calibrated hydraulic tooling per Infineon's mounting guidelines.
Does D1481N65TXPSA1 support single-sided cooling?
Yes - it supports anode-sided, cathode-sided, and two-sided cooling. However, RthJC degrades to 27–29 K/kW in single-sided mode versus 14 K/kW in two-sided mode. Thermal design must use the appropriate ZthJC curve set from page 5 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tvj max) is 160 °C. Operation beyond this limit accelerates parameter drift and reduces long-term reliability. Continuous operation should target ≤150 °C junction temperature with margin for transient surges.
How does D1481N65TXPSA1 differ from standard stud-mount diodes?
Unlike stud-mount diodes, D1481N65TXPSA1 uses a pressure-contact silicon pellet inside a hermetically sealed ceramic package - eliminating solder joints and enabling higher surge current ratings, superior thermal cycling endurance, and compatibility with stacked multi-device modules in MV applications.
