Product details
Overview
D450S16TXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-power, ultra-fast recovery silicon rectifier diode designed for high-frequency switching in industrial DC-link and traction applications. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1600 V, average on-state current (IFAVM) of 443 A at TC = 100°C, forward voltage drop (vF) ≤ 2.25 V at 1.2 kA and TJ = 150°C, and reverse recovery time (trr) of 6.2 µs under standardized IEC 747-2 test conditions.
For engineers reviewing the D450S16TXPSA1 datasheet, D450S16TXPSA1 pinout, D450S16TXPSA1 application, or D450S16TXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1600 V blocking capability, 6.2 µs trr with low Qr (650 µAs), dual-sided thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.057 °C/W), pressure-contact construction, and suitability for forced-air or liquid-cooled high-current inverters in rail traction and medium-voltage drives.
Technical Context
This device is a planar passivated, press-pack fast recovery diode optimized for low conduction loss and controlled soft recovery behavior. Its 1.2 kA forward current rating, 2.25 V vF max at TJ = 150°C, and 6.2 µs trr are specified under strict IEC 747-2 Method II conditions (iFM = 410 A, -diF/dt = 50 A/µs, vR = 100 V).
The diode employs a symmetric Si pellet with double-sided cooling interface and utilizes a threshold voltage (V(TO)) of 1 V and slope resistance (rT) of 0.9 mΩ to define its conduction characteristic. Its transient thermal impedance ZthJC supports both anode- and cathode-sided cooling configurations, with analytical RC network parameters provided for thermal simulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1600 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines DC-link voltage class for 1200 V nominal systems with safety margin. |
| IFAVM (TC = 100°C) | 443 A - continuous average forward current under heatsink-controlled thermal condition; sets base-load current capability. |
| vF (Tvj = 150°C, iF = 1.2 kA) | ≤2.25 V - forward voltage drop at rated pulse current; directly determines conduction loss and thermal load in high-power converters. |
| trr (IEC 747-2) | 6.2 µs - reverse recovery time under defined di/dt and voltage conditions; critical for EMI control and snubber design in hard-switched inverters. |
| Qr | 650 µAs - recovered charge during turn-off; impacts switching loss and commutation stress in IGBT-diode pairs. |
| RthJC (two-sided) | 0.057 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance with dual-side cooling; enables high power dissipation with moderate ΔT. |
| Tvj max | 150 °C - maximum allowable junction temperature; constrains thermal design margin and lifetime estimation per Arrhenius model. |
Pinout & Package
The D450S16TXPSA1 uses a press-pack, double-sided cooled, stud-mounted package with isolated metal housing. It has two terminals: Anode (Terminal 1) and Cathode (Terminal 2), both designed for high-force clamping (3.2–7.6 kN) to ensure low contact resistance and stable thermal interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Terminal 1) | Positive current entry point | Connected to high-side DC bus or IGBT collector; requires insulated mounting and torque-controlled clamping for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| Cathode (Terminal 2) | Current exit path | Connected to low-side DC bus or IGBT emitter; forms symmetrical thermal path when used with dual-sided heatsinking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast soft recovery | trr = 6.2 µs with low IRM (123 A) and Qr (650 µAs); reduces voltage overshoot and EMI in high-di/dt switching. |
| Double-sided thermal interface | RthJC = 0.057 °C/W with two-sided cooling; enables >1 MW/cm² power density in liquid-cooled stacks. |
| High surge robustness | IFS M = 5600 A (10 ms, TJ = 25°C); supports short-circuit ride-through in traction inverters. |
| Pressure-contact Si pellet | Clamping force 3.2–7.6 kN ensures stable Rth and eliminates solder fatigue failure mode in cyclic thermal stress. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DD450S16K | VRRM = 1600 V, same trr (6.2 µs), but RthJC = 0.062 °C/W (anode-side only); lower surge rating (IFS M = 4600 A @ TJ = 150°C). | Suitable for single-sided cooled designs where cathode-side access is restricted; less tolerant of asymmetric thermal loading. | Select when mechanical layout permits only anode-side heatsinking and system surge duty is below 4600 A. |
| SKKT 500/16 E | VRRM = 1600 V, trr = 7.5 µs, Qr = 780 µAs, RthJC = 0.065 °C/W; higher vF (2.45 V @ 1.2 kA). | Designed for legacy thyristor-compatible mounting; includes integrated gate driver interface not present in D450S16TXPSA1. | Choose only if replacing SKKT-series modules in retrofit projects where footprint and clamping geometry must match exactly. |
Compared with DD450S16K and SKKT 500/16 E, D450S16TXPSA1 delivers superior thermal performance via dual-sided cooling, tighter trr/Qr control, and higher surge robustness-making it optimal for new high-efficiency traction and industrial drive platforms where thermal density and EMI compliance are critical.

FAQ
What is the recommended clamping force for D450S16TXPSA1 installation?
The datasheet specifies a clamping force range of 3.2–7.6 kN for reliable thermal and electrical contact. Applying force below 3.2 kN risks increased RthJC and localized hot spots; exceeding 7.6 kN may deform the housing or damage internal Si pellet bonding. Use calibrated torque tools and follow Infineon's mounting sequence in Application Note AN2015-07.
Does D450S16TXPSA1 require a heatsink on both sides?
Yes-its rated RthJC = 0.057 °C/W assumes two-sided cooling with equal thermal interface conditions on anode and cathode. Using only one side increases RthJC to 0.094 °C/W (anode-side) or 0.134 °C/W (cathode-side), reducing maximum allowable power dissipation by up to 55%. Dual-sided mounting is mandatory to achieve full 443 A IFAVM rating.
Can D450S16TXPSA1 be paralleled with other diodes for higher current handling?
Parallel operation is feasible but requires strict matching of forward voltage (vF) and thermal mounting conditions. The datasheet does not guarantee inherent current sharing; external balancing resistors or active current-sharing circuits are required. Infineon recommends using identical batch numbers and verifying vF spread ≤ 50 mV at 1.2 kA before parallel deployment.
Is D450S16TXPSA1 compliant with AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No-D450S16TXPSA1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is designed for industrial and traction applications per IEC 60747-2 and EN 50124 standards. For automotive-grade alternatives, consider Infineon's IDP120x series discrete diodes or hybrid modules certified to AEC-Q101 with extended temperature screening and zero-defect manufacturing protocols.
