Product details
Overview
DSR15U600 from Diodes Incorporated is an ultra-fast recovery silicon rectifier diode in TO220AC package, rated for 600 V peak repetitive reverse voltage and 15 A average forward current, with trr ≤ 35 ns and soft recovery (S = 1.0 at 25°C), optimized as the boost diode in active PFC stages of AC-DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the DSR15U600 datasheet, DSR15U600 pinout, DSR15U600 application, or DSR15U600 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time, softness factor, thermal resistance (RθJC = 2°C/W), surge capability (IFSM = 150 A), and junction capacitance (CJ = 80 pF) under high-frequency switching conditions.
Technical Context
This diode employs Diodes Incorporated's proprietary DIODESTAR™ process to achieve ultra-fast, soft-recovery switching-critical for minimizing EMI and voltage overshoot in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) PFC boost converters. Its low Qrr (192 nC at 25°C; 450 nC at 125°C) and controlled IRM (5.0 A / 8.0 A) reduce switching losses across wide temperature ranges.
The device operates from –65°C to +175°C junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJC = 2°C/W enabling efficient heat transfer to heatsinks in high-power industrial and server SMPS designs. Its TO220AC package supports direct mounting and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands peak line transients in universal-input (85–265 VAC) PFC front-ends without avalanche breakdown. |
| IO | 15 A - Sustains continuous conduction in 500–1000 W boost PFC stages with margin for thermal derating. |
| trr | ≤35 ns - Enables operation at >100 kHz switching frequencies while limiting diode turn-off loss and EMI. |
| Qrr | 192 nC (25°C), 450 nC (125°C) - Quantifies stored charge removal; lower values reduce turn-on loss in subsequent switch. |
| RθJC | 2°C/W - Allows predictable junction-to-case thermal modeling for heatsink sizing in forced-air or convection-cooled systems. |
| IFSM | 150 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Survives inrush surges during cold-start and short-circuit events in regulated power supplies. |
| S (Softness) | 1.0 @ 25°C, 0.6 @ 125°C - Higher softness reduces di/dt-induced voltage spikes and EMI generation during recovery. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO220AC - Molded plastic case with matte tin-plated copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, designed for vertical mounting and mechanical robustness in high-vibration environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Input terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to boost inductor output; carries full load current during diode conduction phase. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to bulk capacitor positive rail; defines DC output polarity and return path for PFC stage. |
| Cathode (Pin 3) | Redundant cathode connection | Parallel cathode terminal to reduce bond wire inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast soft recovery | trr ≤ 35 ns with S ≥ 0.6 up to 125°C - Reduces switching noise and enables EMI-compliant layout without added snubbers. |
| High-temperature stability | Junction range –65°C to +175°C with stable VF and Qrr - Supports operation in enclosed, high-ambient industrial enclosures. |
| High surge capability | IFSM = 150 A (8.3 ms) - Withstands repeated cold-start surges in server PSUs and telecom rectifiers. |
| Low thermal resistance | RθJC = 2°C/W - Enables compact heatsink design and improves long-term reliability under sustained 15 A load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1606D | trr = 35 ns (same), but RθJC = 2.5°C/W; VF = 2.2 V @ 15 A (slightly lower) | Higher thermal resistance requires larger heatsink; same PFC boost suitability | Select if lower forward drop is prioritized over thermal margin. |
| IXYS MUR1560 | trr = 50 ns (slower), Qrr = 280 nC @ 25°C; RθJC = 2.2°C/W | Higher switching loss and EMI risk in >70 kHz designs; acceptable in cost-sensitive 50–60 kHz PFC | Select only for legacy 60 Hz–60 kHz designs where EMI filtering budget allows. |
Compared with STTH1606D and IXYS MUR1560, DSR15U600 delivers superior thermal performance (RθJC = 2°C/W) and tighter softness control (S = 1.0 at 25°C), making it optimal for high-density, high-frequency PFC where thermal headroom and EMI are critical constraints.

FAQ
Is DSR15U600 still in production?
No-DSR15U600 is officially discontinued per Diodes Incorporated's DS35013 Rev. 6 document (October 2013). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory and offers traceable, date-code-verified stock sourced from authorized channels for ongoing production support.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 15 A operation?
Per Figure 5 (Forward Current Derating Curve), the DSR15U600 sustains 15 A average forward current only up to TC = 85°C. Above that, current must be linearly derated to zero at TC = 175°C, with RθJC = 2°C/W defining the thermal slope.
Can DSR15U600 replace standard FR157 or UF1506 diodes?
No-DSR15U600 is not a drop-in replacement for FR157 (1 A, 1000 V) or UF1506 (15 A, 600 V, trr ≈ 75 ns). Its ultra-fast soft recovery (trr ≤ 35 ns, S ≥ 0.6) and lower Qrr demand careful PCB layout and gate drive tuning to avoid oscillation in circuits designed for slower diodes.
Does DSR15U600 require a heatsink in 15 A applications?
Yes-continuous 15 A operation generates ~36 W of conduction loss (VF ≈ 2.4 V × 15 A). With RθJC = 2°C/W and typical RθCA ≈ 10–20°C/W, a heatsink is mandatory to maintain TJ < 150°C; thermal simulation using actual airflow and mounting pressure is strongly recommended.
