Product details
Overview
D56S45CXPSA1 from eupec (Infineon Technologies) is a fast recovery power diode in press-fit stud-mount package, rated for 4500 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 56 A mean forward current at 85°C case temperature, and 1550 A surge forward current (10 ms). It delivers 3.3 µs reverse recovery time and 0.260 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling use in high-voltage DC link rectification for industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the D56S45CXPSA1 datasheet, D56S45CXPSA1 pinout, D56S45CXPSA1 application, or D56S45CXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM ≥4500 V, IFAVM ≥56 A at tC=85°C, trr ≤3.3 µs, softness factor SR=0.004 µs/A, and stud-mount mechanical interface compatibility with M20 heatsink torque specification.
Technical Context
This device is a silicon planar fast recovery diode with pressure-contact die assembly, optimized for high-voltage, medium-power AC/DC conversion where low reverse recovery charge (Qr = 550 µAs) and controlled softness (SR = 0.004 µs/A) minimize switching losses and voltage overshoot in IGBT-based inverters.
Its 21 mm diameter ceramic-insulated metal case supports single-sided heatsinking via M20 threaded stud, with thermal path defined by RthJC = 0.260 °C/W (AC, Θ=180°sin) and RthCK = 0.04 °C/W to compatible heatsinks (e.g., K1.1-M12-A), enabling stable operation up to 125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 4500 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage, defining DC link voltage rating in rectifier bridges |
| IFAVM @ tC=85°C | 56 A - continuous average forward current under real-world heatsink conditions, not derated test condition |
| trr | 3.3 µs - measured reverse recovery time at iFM=150 A, -diF/dt=200 A/µs, VR=0.5VRRM, critical for snubberless operation |
| Qr | 550 µAs - recovered charge during turn-off, directly impacts commutation loss and EMI in hard-switched converters |
| RthJC | 0.260 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance under AC sine-wave heating, used for steady-state thermal design |
| VF @ iF=320 A | 4.5 V - forward voltage at high transient conduction, determining conduction loss during short-duration overload |
| SR | 0.004 µs/A - softness factor quantifying di/dt dependence of reverse recovery tail, reducing voltage spikes |
Pinout & Package
Package: Press-fit stud-mount metal-ceramic case with M20 threaded anode terminal and insulated cathode baseplate; 21 mm diameter, 110 g typical weight, creepage distance 21 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Stud) | Forward current entry point | M20 threaded metal stud serves as both electrical connection and mechanical mounting interface to heatsink |
| Cathode (Baseplate) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking surface | Flat insulated copper baseplate provides low-inductance return path and thermal interface to heatsink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage blocking | 4500 V VRRM enables direct use in 3.3 kV AC input rectifiers without series stacking |
| Controlled soft recovery | SR = 0.004 µs/A ensures predictable reverse recovery tail, reducing snubber requirements in IGBT modules |
| Low thermal resistance | RthJC = 0.260 °C/W allows 56 A continuous conduction at 85°C case without forced cooling |
| Robust surge capability | 1550 A IFSM (10 ms) supports motor-start and short-circuit fault currents in drive applications |
| Standardized mechanical interface | M20 stud and 21 mm diameter match K1.1-M12-A, K0.55-M12-A, and GK-M12-A heatsink families |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MDD56-45N1 | VRRM = 4500 V, IFAVM = 56 A, but trr = 4.2 µs and Qr = 720 µAs - higher recovery loss | Less suitable for snubberless IGBT commutation due to slower, harder recovery | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs switching loss optimization |
| STMicroelectronics STTH120R04DJF | VRRM = 400 V only; requires 12-series stacking to reach 4500 V - increases layout complexity and parasitic inductance | Not viable for single-device 4.5 kV rectification; limited to lower-voltage auxiliary supplies | Select only if system voltage < 600 V and footprint constraints dominate |
Compared with MDD56-45N1 and STTH120R04DJF, D56S45CXPSA1 uniquely combines 4500 V single-device blocking, 3.3 µs trr, and stud-mount mechanical robustness-enabling compact, high-efficiency, and maintenance-free rectifier designs in industrial power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable heatsink temperature for continuous 56 A operation?
The datasheet specifies IFAVM = 56 A at tC = 85°C case temperature. To maintain this rating, the heatsink must be designed to hold the case (stud base) at ≤85°C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions. Exceeding this temperature requires linear derating per the published IFAVM vs. tC curve, down to 102 A at tC = 28°C.
Can D56S45CXPSA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with matched devices and symmetrical mechanical mounting. The 0.260 °C/W RthJC and low forward slope resistance (rT = 8 mΩ) support current sharing, provided thermal paths to the heatsink are identical and mounting torque is uniformly applied to all M20 studs within ±5 Nm tolerance.
Is the 21 mm creepage distance sufficient for 4.5 kV isolation in polluted environments?
Per DIN 40040 Class C humidity classification, the 21 mm creepage meets minimum requirements for 4500 V RMS working voltage in moderate pollution (pollution degree 3). For outdoor or coastal installations, conformal coating or additional barrier spacing is recommended to maintain long-term insulation integrity.
Does the device meet RoHS or REACH compliance?
As a legacy eupec part manufactured prior to 2006, D56S45CXPSA1 predates mandatory RoHS implementation. Infineon's current documentation confirms it contains lead in solder joints and may contain other substances restricted under RoHS 2/REACH; full compliance status requires verification against Infineon's official material declaration for this specific lot.
