Product details
Overview
DZ435N40KHPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a press-pack rectifier diode module rated for 4000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 435 A average forward current at 100°C case temperature (IFAVM), and 14.5 kA non-repetitive surge current (IFSM). It employs pressure-contact silicon pellet technology with electrically insulated AlN baseplate, targeting high-reliability industrial drive rectification.
For engineers reviewing the DZ435N40KHPSA1 datasheet, DZ435N40KHPSA1 pinout, DZ435N40KHPSA1 application, or DZ435N40KHPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.078 K/W), on-state voltage (0.84 V threshold, 1.71 V max at 1200 A), and insulated baseplate capability for series-connected high-voltage stacks.
Technical Context
This double-diode press-pack module uses silicon die with pressure-contact metallization to eliminate wire bonds and solder layers, enabling robust thermal cycling and high-current conduction. Its electrically isolated AlN ceramic baseplate supports series connection in multi-level converters without external isolation.
The device operates with 150°C maximum junction temperature and delivers 1100 A RMS forward current under DC conduction. Thermal performance is characterized by transient impedance models for both natural and forced cooling configurations, supporting precise loss and temperature rise calculations in drive and UPS systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, high-current rectifier module applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEMiX453GB126HDs | 1200 V IGBT-based module; lower VRRM, higher switching loss, integrated gate driver | Designed for active rectification (PWM control), not passive line-commutated rectification | Select only if bidirectional power flow or regenerative braking is required |
| DD900N33K | 3300 V VRRM, 900 A IFAVM, same press-pack format and AlN insulation | Higher current rating but lower voltage margin; requires derating for 4000 V system peaks | Preferable for cost-sensitive 3.3 kV systems where 4000 V margin is unnecessary |
Compared with DD900N33K, DZ435N40KHPSA1 trades current headroom for higher voltage safety margin and lower thermal resistance per amp, making it optimal for 4 kV-class drives where reliability under transient overvoltage is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The DZ435N40KHPSA1 has a specified maximum case temperature (Tc op) range of –40°C to +150°C. For continuous rated current (435 A IFAVM), the case must be maintained at ≤100°C per datasheet derating curves; exceeding this requires proportional current reduction per thermal resistance and ambient conditions.
Does this module require thermal compound between baseplate and heatsink?
Yes - a thermally conductive, electrically insulating compound (e.g., silicone-based grease or phase-change pad) is mandatory between the AlN baseplate and heatsink to minimize interfacial thermal resistance. The specified RthCH of 0.02 K/W assumes optimized interface preparation and uniform mounting pressure.
Can DZ435N40KHPSA1 be used in parallel with other modules?
Yes, but only with strict current-sharing design: matched dynamic forward voltage (vF) characteristics, symmetrical busbar layout, identical thermal mounting, and individual current monitoring. The 0.6 mΩ slope resistance enables predictable sharing under DC conditions, though AC harmonics may require external balancing reactors.
What does the "HPSA1" suffix indicate in the full part number?
The "HPSA1" suffix denotes Infineon's internal revision and packaging variant: "HP" = high-power press-pack, "S" = standard AlN insulation, "A1" = first revision of the 4000 V version with updated thermal modeling and torque specifications per Revision 3.3 of the datasheet.
