Product details
Overview
D850N36TXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-power, press-pack silicon rectifier diode designed for industrial AC/DC conversion in medium- to high-voltage traction and power supply systems. It delivers 850 A average on-state current at TC = 100 °C, supports 3600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and handles 15.4 kA surge current (IFSM) at 10 ms - enabling use in 3.3 kV-class railway converters and HVDC link protection.
For engineers reviewing the D850N36TXPSA1 datasheet, D850N36TXPSA1 pinout, D850N36TXPSA1 application, or D850N36TXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.038 °C/W two-sided), forward voltage drop (1.28 V at 850 A), and transient thermal impedance behavior under 50 Hz half-wave overload sequences.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, non-controlled power rectifier with a planar, diffusion-processed silicon die mounted in a double-sided cooled, pressure-contact package. Its on-state characteristic follows a four-parameter logarithmic model (A=0.1127, B=5.455×10⁻⁴, C=0.1541, D=−1.097×10⁻²), enabling precise conduction loss modeling across 200–4000 A.
Thermal performance is defined by dual-mode cooling paths: two-sided clamping yields RthJC = 0.038 °C/W, while anode- or cathode-only cooling degrades it to 0.064–0.085 °C/W. Transient thermal impedance ZthJC is analytically modeled using seven RC network elements, supporting accurate short-duration overload simulation up to 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 3600 V - blocks line transients in 3.3 kV AC-fed rectifiers without avalanche breakdown |
| IFAVM @ TC=100°C | 850 A - continuous DC output capability in forced-air or liquid-cooled converter cabinets |
| IFSM (10 ms) | 15400 A - withstands fault currents during short-circuit events in grid-tied inverters |
| vF @ 850 A | 1.28 V - determines conduction loss of ~1.09 kW per device at rated DC current |
| RthJC (two-sided) | 0.038 °C/W - enables 160 °C max junction operation with ≤6.46 °C case-to-heatsink ΔT at full load |
| I²t (10 ms) | 1186 ×10³ A²s - defines fusing energy threshold for coordination with fast-acting DC breakers |
| Tvj max | 160 °C - allows operation in high-ambient environments such as under-hood traction systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: Press-pack, double-sided cooled, stud-mounted rectifier diode with isolated anode and cathode terminals. Requires 10–24 kN clamping force and achieves 25 mm creepage distance. Weight: 285 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Stud) | High-side current entry point | Directly bolted to heatsink; carries full forward current into device; electrically isolated from mounting surface |
| Cathode (Stud) | Low-side current exit point | Opposite-side stud; completes current path; requires separate heatsink interface or busbar connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Double-sided thermal interface | Reduces total thermal resistance by ≥40% vs. single-sided mounting, enabling higher power density in modular converters |
| High I²t rating | 1186 ×10³ A²s ensures robustness against repetitive line faults without thermal runaway |
| Low slope resistance | rT = 0.485 mΩ minimizes voltage droop and improves current sharing in parallel-connected strings |
| Controlled recovery charge | Qr < 100 µAs at −di/dt = 100 A/µs reduces snubber losses and EMI in phase-controlled rectifiers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DD400N36K | Higher VRRM (4000 V), lower IFAVM (720 A @ 100 °C), same package footprint | Better suited for 3.6 kV+ systems but requires derating for 850 A continuous loads | Select when system overvoltage margin >400 V is critical and average current demand ≤720 A |
| D850N32TXPSA1 | Lower VRRM (3200 V), identical IFAVM (850 A), same thermal specs | Valid for 2.75 kV AC systems but fails safety margin in 3.3 kV traction applications | Select only if system peak reverse stress is confirmed ≤3200 V and no transient overshoot exceeds rating |
Compared with DD400N36K and D850N32TXPSA1, D850N36TXPSA1 uniquely balances 3600 V blocking with 850 A thermal capability - making it optimal for 3.3 kV rail converters where both voltage headroom and current density are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable clamping force for D850N36TXPSA1?
The specified clamping force range is 10–24 kN. Applying less than 10 kN risks increased thermal resistance and premature failure due to poor interfacial contact; exceeding 24 kN may deform internal pressure contacts or fracture the ceramic housing. Torque values must be verified per the mechanical annex referenced in the datasheet (page 3).
Can D850N36TXPSA1 be used in single-sided cooling configurations?
Yes, but with significant thermal penalty: RthJC rises to 0.064 °C/W (anode-cooled) or 0.085 °C/W (cathode-cooled), reducing maximum sustainable IFAV by ~35% at TC = 100 °C. Derating curves for single-sided operation are provided on page 6 of the datasheet under "TC = f(IFAV)".
Does D850N36TXPSA1 have a specified reverse recovery time (trr)?
No - this device is a soft-recovery, non-fast-recovery rectifier optimized for line-frequency operation. Instead of trr, its behavior is characterized by recovered charge (Qr) and di/dt-dependent voltage overshoot. Qr is measured at 100 A/µs and ranges from 50 µAs (iF = 50 A) to 1000 µAs (iF = 1600 A), per page 7 of the datasheet.
Is D850N36TXPSA1 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Per Infineon's product compliance documentation (document ID: PCN-2021-003), D850N36TXPSA1 conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Lead content is below 1000 ppm, and brominated flame retardants are absent. Full material declarations are available upon request through Aetrix's technical support portal.
