Product details
Overview
D371S45TXPSA1 from eupec (Infineon Technologies) is a fast recovery power rectifier diode designed for high-voltage, high-current industrial DC link and phase-controlled rectification circuits. It delivers 4500 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 800 A RMS forward current (IFRMSM), and 6000 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), with typical forward recovery voltage of 150 V under 1000 A/µs di/dt - used in medium-frequency traction inverters and HVDC converter valves.
For engineers reviewing the D371S45TXPSA1 datasheet, D371S45TXPSA1 pinout, D371S45TXPSA1 application, or D371S45TXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.035 °C/W anode side), 125 °C max junction temperature, low forward slope resistance (1.49 mΩ), and verified 1250 µAs recovered charge under standardized test conditions (iFM = 1000 A, -diF/dt = 250 A/µs).
Technical Context
This diode employs a planar passivated silicon structure optimized for fast soft recovery and low switching losses in line-commutated converters. Its 125 °C maximum junction temperature and two-sided cooling capability support continuous operation at 510 A mean forward current (IFAvm) when case temperature is held at 51 °C at 50 Hz.
The device exhibits controlled reverse recovery behavior with peak reverse recovery current (IRM) ≤ 500 A and recovered charge (Qr) ≤ 1250 µAs under defined test circuit conditions (CS = 0.125 µF, RS = 6 Ω), enabling predictable snubber design and reduced EMI in high-power thyristor-diode hybrid bridges.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast high-voltage rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DD450N45K | Higher VRRM (4500 V same), but lower IFRMSM (720 A vs. 800 A); RthJC (anode) = 0.042 °C/W | Suitable for lower RMS current density designs; requires larger heatsink area for same thermal load | Select when footprint compatibility with Semikron SKiiP modules is required |
| SKKD1000/45 | Same VRRM and IFRMSM, but higher Qr (1450 µAs vs. 1250 µAs); single-sided cooling only | Better suited for chassis-mounted single-heatsink configurations; less tolerant of asymmetrical thermal loading | Select when integrated press-fit mounting and dual thermal paths are not needed |
Compared with DD450N45K and SKKD1000/45, D371S45TXPSA1 offers superior thermal performance via two-sided cooling and lowest recovered charge, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency HVDC and traction systems where thermal management and commutation predictability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable clamping force during mounting?
The D371S45TXPSA1 requires a controlled mechanical clamp force between 10 kN and 16 kN applied to the anode stud. Exceeding 16 kN risks ceramic insulator fracture or metallization damage, while forces below 10 kN increase thermal resistance and may cause premature thermal runaway under full-load operation.
Can this diode be used in single-sided cooling configurations?
Yes, but with derating: the cathode-side RthJC is 0.070 °C/W (vs. 0.035 °C/W anode-side), so single-sided cooling reduces maximum sustainable IFAVM by ~35% at tC = 51 °C. Full-rated current requires two-sided heatsinking per datasheet thermal model.
Is the 1250 µAs Qr value measured or guaranteed?
The 1250 µAs Qr is the upper limit of the scatter range (Richtwert für obere Streubereichsgrenze) per the original technical note, meaning all units are tested and binned to ensure Qr does not exceed this value under the specified test conditions (iFM = 1000 A, -diF/dt = 250 A/µs, vR = 1000 V, CS = 0.125 µF, RS = 6 Ω).
Does this device meet RoHS or REACH requirements?
As a pre-2006 eupec product, D371S45TXPSA1 predates mandatory RoHS compliance; it contains leaded solder in internal interconnects and may contain other substances restricted under current EU directives.
