Product details
Overview
DL4936-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast recovery rectifier diode with 400 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.0 A average forward rectified current (IO) at TT = 75°C, and 1.2 V maximum instantaneous forward voltage at IF = 1.0 A. It features glass passivation, low leakage (<5.0 µA), and 200 ns maximum reverse recovery time (trr), used in AC/DC input stage rectification for industrial power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the DL4936-13 datasheet, DL4936-13 pinout, DL4936-13 application, or DL4936-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM derating for capacitive loads (−20% IO), thermal derating per Fig. 2, MELF package solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, and RoHS-compliant matte tin finish.
Technical Context
This single-phase, half-wave rectifier is rated for 60 Hz resistive or inductive loads, with defined derating for capacitive loads. Its 200 ns trr enables efficient switching in offline SMPS front-end stages up to ~100 kHz.
The MELF package provides high thermal reliability and uniform current distribution, while glass passivation ensures stable IRM < 5.0 µA at rated VR and robust moisture resistance over −65°C to +150°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe AC input voltage limit (e.g., 280 V RMS). |
| IO @ TT = 75°C | 1.0 A - Continuous DC output current capability under heatsink-referenced thermal condition. |
| VFM @ IF = 1.0 A | 1.2 V - Forward conduction loss at rated load; determines I²R heating and efficiency in rectifier stage. |
| trr | 200 ns - Reverse recovery time; limits minimum switching frequency and affects EMI in flyback/forward converters. |
| IRM @ VR | 5.0 µA - Max DC reverse leakage at rated blocking voltage; critical for low-power standby and high-impedance bias networks. |
| CT @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 15 pF - Junction capacitance; influences high-frequency noise coupling and snubber design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face), cylindrical glass-passivated surface-mount case, UL 94V-0 rated, 0.25 g mass, cathode band polarity marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry node | Connected to AC input or transformer secondary; must withstand surge current up to 30 A (8.3 ms half-sine). |
| Cathode | Forward current exit node | Marked with band; connects to bulk capacitor or downstream converter; carries full IO and handles reverse blocking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery (trr ≤ 200 ns) | Enables use in higher-frequency rectification without excessive switching loss or ringing. |
| Glass passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of IRM and VRRM under humidity and thermal cycling stress. |
| Low VFM (1.2 V @ 1.0 A) | Reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard 1N4007 (1.4 V), improving thermal margin in compact designs. |
| MELF package with 94V-0 rating | Supports automated reflow assembly and meets safety standards for insulation and flammability. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Stage | Industrial LED Driver Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 230 VAC input rectification feeding bulk capacitor in 15–30 W isolated flyback LED driver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side unidirectional current path; blocks reverse voltage during negative AC half-cycle. Use Value: 400 V VRRM safely covers 230 VAC × √2 ≈ 325 V peak with margin; 200 ns trr minimizes switching noise coupled into feedback circuitry. | Use Scenario: Bridge rectifier leg in non-isolated buck-PFC LED driver with 120 VAC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier in voltage-doubler or single-leg configuration for PFC pre-regulator. Use Value: Low 1.2 V VFM reduces conduction loss at 1.0 A average, improving efficiency >1% over standard recovery diodes. |
| UPS Battery Charger Input | Motor Control Auxiliary Supply |
Use Scenario: Input rectification for 24 V/5 A battery charger in line-interactive UPS with transformer-coupled AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts transformer secondary AC to DC for charging circuit; operates continuously at elevated ambient temperature. Use Value: 1.0 A IO rating sustained at TT = 75°C supports continuous operation without forced cooling; −65°C to +150°C Tj range accommodates enclosure hot spots. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary 12 V DC supply rectification for gate driver ICs and MCU in 3-phase BLDC motor controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides isolated low-power DC rail from auxiliary winding; must survive inductive kickback and ESD events. Use Value: Glass passivation and 30 A IFSM rating ensure robustness against transient overcurrent from winding inductance and layout parasitics. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06S | VRRM = 600 V, trr = 150 ns, IO = 1.0 A, DO-214AA package | Higher VRRM and faster trr; larger footprint and lower thermal resistance than MELF | Preferred where higher voltage margin or tighter EMI control is required; requires PCB pad redesign. |
| ES1J | VRRM = 600 V, trr = 35 ns, IO = 1.0 A, SMA package | Ultra-fast recovery but lower surge rating (IFSM = 30 A same, but shorter thermal time constant) | Better for high-frequency PFC; less robust under sustained overload or high-temperature ambient. |
Compared with DL4936-13, STTH1L06S offers higher voltage headroom and slightly faster recovery in a more thermally capable package, while ES1J delivers superior speed at the cost of reduced ruggedness-making DL4936-13 optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 400 V industrial rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for DL4936-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with storage temperature matching this range. Derating begins at terminal temperature >75°C per Fig. 2; at TT = 100°C, IO drops to ~0.65 A. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is not specified, but MELF geometry supports direct PCB copper pour heat spreading.
Is DL4936-13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes-DL4936-13 uses matte tin plating compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C. The MELF body is rated for UL 94V-0 and passes MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability testing.
How does capacitive load affect DL4936-13 current rating?
For capacitive-input filter loads, the average forward current rating must be derated by 20%, reducing IO from 1.0 A to 0.8 A at TT = 75°C. This accounts for higher peak currents and increased thermal stress caused by zero-crossing inrush into the bulk capacitor.
Can DL4936-13 replace a 1N4007 in existing designs?
No-DL4936-13 is a fast recovery diode (trr = 200 ns), whereas 1N4007 is general-purpose (trr > 2 µs). Substitution may cause excessive EMI or MOSFET gate drive issues in switching circuits. It can replace 1N4007 only in purely linear, low-frequency applications with no switching nodes nearby.
