Product details
Overview
DTV1500SDFP from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage damper diode designed specifically for horizontal deflection stages in CRT television displays. It delivers 1500 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 6 A average forward current, 12 A peak forward current at 56 kHz, 150 ns typical reverse recovery time, and 26 V typical peak forward voltage at 100°C under fast switching conditions.
For engineers reviewing the DTV1500SDFP datasheet, DTV1500SDFP pinout, DTV1500SDFP application, or DTV1500SDFP equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability CRT horizontal output circuits requiring low conduction loss, controlled turn-on behavior, and insulated packaging with 2000 V DC isolation.
Technical Context
This diode employs planar junction technology to achieve stable high-voltage blocking and fast, controlled recovery characteristics essential for resonant flyback operation in CRT deflection yoke circuits. Its specified tfr (500 ns max) and dIF/dt-rated VFP (26 V typ at 80 A/µs) directly support safe commutation of high-current horizontal scan pulses.
The TO-220FPAC package provides electrical insulation (2000 V DC) and low thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 5.8 °C/W), enabling direct mounting to heatsinks without additional isolation hardware while maintaining safe creepage/clearance in high-voltage deflection stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1500 V - Withstands repetitive reverse voltage in CRT horizontal output transformer secondary circuits. |
| IF(AV) | 6 A - Sustains average forward current during 15.625 kHz horizontal scanning without thermal runaway. |
| trr (typ) | 150 ns - Enables clean turn-off before next scan line, minimizing switching loss and voltage overshoot. |
| VFP (typ) | 26 V at 100°C - Limits transient forward voltage spike during rapid dIF/dt (80 A/µs), protecting driver transistors. |
| Rth(j-c) | 5.8 °C/W - Allows efficient heat transfer to heatsink, supporting continuous operation at Tj = 175°C. |
| Cj | 12 pF - Low junction capacitance reduces capacitive loading on deflection oscillator and driver stage. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2000 V DC - Insulated TO-220FPAC package eliminates need for separate insulating washers in HV chassis designs. |
Pinout & Package
DTV1500SDFP uses the TO-220FPAC package: an insulated variant of TO-220 with electrically isolated metal tab (2000 V DC rating), 1.8 g mass, and standardized mechanical dimensions per STMicroelectronics drawing (L3 = 28.6–30.6 mm, H = 10–10.4 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input to damper path | Connects to horizontal output transistor collector and deflection yoke primary; carries high di/dt flyback current. |
| Cathode | Output to B+ rail | Clamps flyback energy to regulated B+ supply; must handle 12 A peak and sustain 1500 V reverse bias. |
| Tab (isolated) | Thermal interface only | Electrically floating metal surface for heatsink attachment; no circuit connection required or permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High VRRM with planar junction | 1500 V blocking capability maintained across full temperature range (−65°C to +175°C) without degradation. |
| Controlled tfr and trr | 500 ns max forward recovery and 250 ns max reverse recovery ensure predictable timing in resonant deflection cycles. |
| Low VFP under high dIF/dt | 36 V max peak forward voltage at 80 A/µs prevents destructive voltage spikes on driver transistors. |
| Insulated TO-220FPAC | Eliminates need for mica washers or silicone pads-reduces assembly steps and long-term insulation failure risk. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage damper diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1206D | 600 V VRRM, 12 A IF(AV), TO-220AC (non-isolated) | Lower voltage rating; requires external insulation for 1500 V circuits | Select only if system B+ < 600 V and chassis grounding allows non-isolated mounting. |
| BYV96E | 1200 V VRRM, 6 A IF(AV), TO-220AC, 200 ns trr | Lower VRRM margin and no insulated package; higher VFP (32 V typ) | Acceptable only in legacy 1200 V designs with proven thermal margin and added isolation hardware. |
Compared with DTV1500SDFP, STTH1206D lacks voltage headroom and isolation, while BYV96E trades 300 V VRRM margin and higher switching stress for broader distributor availability-neither matches the integrated 1500 V/2000 V isolation/low-VFP combination required for modern CRT deflection compliance.

FAQ
Is DTV1500SDFP still in active production?
No-DTV1500SDFP is marked as obsolete by STMicroelectronics per its revision history and official product status. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers traceable, tested stock for ongoing repair and maintenance programs in CRT-based equipment.
Can DTV1500SDFP be used in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)?
It is not recommended for general SMPS use. Its optimized trr, tfr, and VFP parameters target CRT horizontal deflection waveforms-not continuous PWM operation. In SMPS, uncontrolled recovery tail current may cause excessive loss and EMI outside its validated operating envelope.
What is the maximum dIF/dt this diode supports reliably?
DTV1500SDFP is characterized up to 80 A/µs (per Table 7), with VFP and trr data provided at that rate. Operation beyond 80 A/µs risks exceeding VFP max (36 V) and inducing destructive voltage overshoot-designs must limit dIF/dt via snubber networks or driver slew control.
Does the TO-220FPAC package require thermal compound when mounted?
Yes-despite its insulated tab, thermal interface material (e.g., silicone grease or phase-change pad) is required between the metal tab and heatsink to minimize junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The 5.8 °C/W Rth(j-c) rating assumes optimal thermal contact, not dry mounting.
