Product details
Overview
D3001N68TXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-current press-pack rectifier diode designed for medium-voltage drive converters and crowbar protection circuits. It delivers 6800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 2800 A average forward current at 100 °C case temperature (IFAVM), and withstands 57 kA surge current (IFSM) with hermetically sealed ceramic packaging and dual-sided cooling capability.
For engineers reviewing the D3001N68TXPSA1 datasheet, D3001N68TXPSA1 pinout, D3001N68TXPSA1 application, or D3001N68TXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping force range (36–52 kN), junction-to-case thermal resistance (8.5 K/kW), and reverse recovery charge (11 mAs at 1000 V), critical for high-reliability industrial power conversion and fault-protection systems.
Technical Context
This device is a silicon-based, pressure-contact rectifier diode optimized for forced-cooled, high-power DC link applications where bidirectional heat extraction and mechanical robustness are mandatory. Its two-sided cooling configuration enables symmetric thermal management, while its 160 °C maximum junction temperature supports operation in demanding drive and converter environments.
The diode exhibits low conduction loss with a threshold voltage of 0.84 V and slope resistance of 0.215 mΩ at Tvj max, enabling efficient high-current rectification. Its reverse recovery behavior-characterized by 11 mAs recovered charge and 300 A peak reverse recovery current under standardized 1000 V/10 A/µs conditions-supports stable commutation in medium-voltage inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 6800 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage, defining safe operating voltage ceiling in medium-voltage DC links. |
| IFAVM @ TC=100°C | 2800 A - Continuous forward current rating under two-sided DC cooling, directly sizing heatsink and thermal interface requirements. |
| IFSM (10 ms) | 57000 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current handling, essential for short-circuit and crowbar protection reliability. |
| V(TO) / rT | 0.84 V / 0.215 mΩ - Threshold voltage and slope resistance at max junction temperature, determining conduction loss and thermal rise under load. |
| RthJC | 8.5 K/kW - Junction-to-case thermal resistance under two-sided cooling, used to calculate junction temperature rise from power dissipation. |
| Qr (VR=1000 V) | 11 mAs - Recovered reverse charge during turn-off, directly influencing snubber design and switching losses in hard-commutated converters. |
| Clamping Force | 36–52 kN - Required mechanical compression for reliable electrical contact and thermal transfer across Si pellet and ceramic housing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Press-pack ceramic housing with dual-sided copper terminals (anode and cathode), 121 mm maximum diameter, 86 mm contact diameter, and 35 mm height. Requires external mechanical clamping for electrical and thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Top) | Forward current entry point | High-current input terminal; must be compressed against heatsink with specified clamping force for low-resistance conduction path. |
| Cathode (Bottom) | Forward current exit point | High-current output terminal; forms closed loop with anode under DC or line-frequency rectification; enables two-sided cooling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetically sealed ceramic package | Enables operation in harsh industrial environments with immunity to moisture, dust, and chemical exposure without potting or encapsulation. |
| Two-sided cooling interface | Allows symmetrical heat extraction from both anode and cathode terminals, reducing thermal gradient and improving long-term reliability in high-power converters. |
| Full 50/60 Hz blocking over wide temperature range | Maintains rated VRRM stability from –40 °C to +160 °C junction temperature, eliminating derating concerns in variable-temperature drive cabinets. |
| High case non-rupture current | Withstands mechanical stress from high di/dt events without housing fracture, supporting use in crowbar circuits where rapid fault current injection occurs. |
Applications
| Drive Rectifiers | Medium-Voltage Converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, high-current rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MDD300-16N1 | 1600 V VRRM, 3000 A IFAVM, stud-mount metal package, no press-pack clamping requirement. | Targeted at lower-voltage (<2 kV) industrial rectifiers; lacks ceramic hermeticity and two-sided cooling. | Select when system voltage ≤1.6 kV and modular mounting simplifies assembly over press-pack tooling. |
| ABB 5SDF24H4802 | 4800 V VRRM, 2400 A IFAVM, press-pack with similar clamping and ceramic housing but higher Qr (14 mAs). | Suitable for 4.16 kV medium-voltage drives; slightly lower surge rating (45 kA) and higher reverse recovery loss. | Choose when 4.8 kV blocking suffices and existing ABB thermal interface tooling is available. |
Compared with MDD300-16N1 and 5SDF24H4802, D3001N68TXPSA1 uniquely combines 6.8 kV blocking, 2.8 kA continuous rating, and sub-12 mAs Qr in a two-sided cooled ceramic press-pack-making it optimal for next-generation 6.6 kV drive and crowbar systems demanding both voltage headroom and thermal symmetry.

FAQ
What is the required clamping force range for proper operation?
The D3001N68TXPSA1 requires a mechanical clamping force between 36 kN and 52 kN to ensure low-contact resistance and uniform thermal transfer across the silicon pellet and ceramic housing. Insufficient force increases forward voltage drop and localized heating; excessive force risks ceramic fracture. Clamping must be applied evenly using calibrated torque tools per Infineon's mounting guidelines.
Can this diode be used in single-sided cooling configurations?
Yes, but with significant derating: RthJC rises to 14.9 K/kW for cathode-side-only cooling and 19.8 K/kW for anode-side-only cooling. The device is optimized for two-sided cooling; single-sided use reduces maximum allowable power dissipation by ~40% and requires revised thermal modeling to avoid exceeding 160 °C junction temperature under full load.
What is the significance of the 11 mAs recovered charge value?
The 11 mAs recovered charge (Qr) measured at 1000 V reverse voltage defines the stored minority-carrier charge cleared during turn-off. This value directly determines snubber capacitor sizing, switching loss in hard-commutated circuits, and potential for voltage overshoot during diode commutation-critical for designing EMI filters and protecting downstream IGBTs in medium-voltage inverters.
Is the D3001N68TXPSA1 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, D3001N68TXPSA1 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Infineon confirms compliance in the official product change notification PCN-2014-002, and material declarations are available upon request through Aetrix Electronics' technical support portal with valid customer ID.
