Product details
Overview
PR1504S-A from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5A fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-41 package, rated for 400V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.2V forward voltage at 1.5A, and 150ns reverse recovery time - used in AC/DC input stage rectification for offline power supplies and auxiliary power rails.
For engineers reviewing the PR1504S-A datasheet, PR1504S-A pinout, PR1504S-A application, or PR1504S-A equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM derating margin, trr-dependent switching loss in flyback/foward converters, thermal resistance (RθJA = 35 K/W), and DO-41 lead-form compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device employs a diffused junction structure optimized for fast switching and low conduction loss. Its 150ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 20pF junction capacitance (Cj) support operation up to ~100kHz in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) SMPS topologies.
Rated for 1.5A average rectified current at TA = 50°C with 9.5mm lead length maintained at ambient, it delivers stable performance under single-phase half-wave 60Hz resistive/inductive loads - with 20% current derating required for capacitive loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets minimum insulation margin for 230VAC input designs. |
| IO @ TA=50°C | 1.5 A - Continuous DC output current capability when leads are held at ambient temperature at 9.5mm from case. |
| VFM @ IF=1.5A | 1.2 V - Forward conduction loss directly impacts efficiency and thermal rise in high-current rectifier paths. |
| trr | 150 ns - Determines reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and associated switching losses in hard-switched topologies. |
| RθJA | 35 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance defines maximum allowable power dissipation without heatsinking. |
| IFSM | 50 A - Peak surge rating for 8.3ms half-sine wave; supports inrush current handling during cold start. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking. Standard lead spacing and form factor compatible with manual soldering and wave solder processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive input terminal | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; carries full forward current during conduction phase. |
| Cathode | Negative output terminal | Marked by band; connects to bulk capacitor or downstream converter input; blocks reverse voltage during off-state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery time | 150 ns trr enables efficient operation in 50–100 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss. |
| Low forward voltage | 1.2 V at 1.5A reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| High surge rating | 50A IFSM withstands line transients and startup inrush in unregulated AC/DC front-ends. |
| RoHS-compliant finish | Bright tin-plated leads meet MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements and EU Directive Annex exemptions. |
Applications
| Offline AC/DC Adapters | Industrial Control Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 230VAC-to-12VDC adapter for IoT gateways with passive PFC and flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side rectifier converting transformer secondary AC to pulsating DC before bulk capacitor. Use Value: 400V VRRM provides 2× safety margin over 230VAC peak (325V), while 150ns trr minimizes dead-time loss in quasi-resonant operation. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary 5V/1.2A bias supply in PLC CPU module powered from 24VDC bus with AC-coupled input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage rectifier for isolated DC/DC converter feeding microcontroller and I/O drivers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side fast recovery diode in flyback converter delivering regulated DC to LED string. Use Value: Low Cj (20pF) and fast trr reduce ringing and EMI during turn-off, easing EMC filter design. | Use Scenario: DC bus rectification for H-bridge gate driver ICs in washing machine motor control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier supplying 15V bias rail to isolated gate drivers and current sense amplifiers. Use Value: 50A IFSM handles motor stall surges; RθJA = 35 K/W permits operation at 70°C ambient without forced airflow. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PR1504S-A?
The PR1504S-A has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance is 35 K/W, so at 1.5A and 1.2V forward drop (1.8W dissipation), junction temperature rises ~63°C above ambient - limiting safe operation to ≤87°C ambient in still air without heatsinking.
Is PR1504S-A RoHS compliant?
Yes, PR1504S-A features lead-free bright tin-plated leads and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, including exemptions for glass and high-temperature solder per Annexes 5 and 7 of EU Directive 2015/863.
Can PR1504S-A replace PR1504-B in a DO-15 footprint?
No - PR1504S-A uses DO-41 package (smaller body, tighter lead spacing), while PR1504-B uses DO-15. Mechanical dimensions differ significantly: DO-41 max width is 5.21mm vs. DO-15's 7.62mm, and lead spacing is incompatible without PCB redesign.
Why is PR1504S-A marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN"?
This designation reflects Diodes Incorporated's internal roadmap guidance: newer devices like the B150-13-F offer lower VFM (0.95V), faster trr (50ns), and improved thermal performance. PR1504S-A remains fully qualified and supported but is not promoted for new product introductions.
