Product details
Overview
PR1504S-B 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-B datasheet, PR1504S-B pinout, PR1504S-B application, or PR1504S-B equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM derating margin, trr-dependent switching loss in 50–100kHz flyback designs, thermal resistance (RθJA = 35 K/W), and DO-41 lead-form compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device employs a diffused junction silicon structure optimized for fast switching and low conduction loss. Its 150ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 20pF junction capacitance (Cj) support operation in medium-frequency SMPS topologies without excessive ringing or EMI generation.
The 1.5A average rectified current rating assumes 50°C ambient with leads held at ambient temperature at 9.5mm from case; surge capability reaches 50A (8.3ms half-sine) enabling robustness against line transients in unregulated input stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets minimum clearance for 230VAC mains-derived inputs with safety margin. |
| IO @ TA=50°C | 1.5 A - Continuous DC output current under defined thermal conditions; requires heatsinking or board copper for sustained >1W dissipation. |
| VFM @ IF=1.5A | 1.2 V - Forward voltage drop determining conduction loss (1.8W at 1.5A); lower than standard PN rectifiers for improved efficiency. |
| trr | 150 ns - Reverse recovery time measured at IF=0.5A, IR=1.0A, Irr=0.25A; enables use up to ~100kHz without excessive switching loss. |
| RθJA | 35 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free air; defines temperature rise per watt (e.g., +52.5°C at 1.5W dissipation). |
| IRM @ 25°C | 5.0 µA - Peak reverse leakage at rated blocking voltage; negligible for high-impedance bias networks but critical in low-power standby circuits. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking; body diameter 2.00–2.72 mm, length 4.06–5.21 mm, lead diameter 0.71–0.864 mm. Cathode band identifies terminal polarity for correct orientation in series/parallel rectifier configurations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input terminal for forward conduction | Connected to AC source or transformer secondary; must withstand full reverse voltage when off. |
| Cathode | Output terminal for forward conduction | Connected to bulk capacitor or load; marked by band; carries full rectified current and dissipates heat. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery (trr = 150 ns) | Reduces switching losses and EMI in 50–100 kHz flyback and forward converters versus standard rectifiers. |
| Low VFM (1.2 V @ 1.5A) | Lowers conduction loss by ~20% vs. 1N4007 (1.5V), improving efficiency in low-voltage output stages. |
| 50A IFSM surge rating | Withstands cold-start inrush and lightning-induced line surges without failure in unprotected AC inputs. |
| RoHS-compliant tin-plated leads | Enables lead-free reflow soldering and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU without exemptions beyond Annex VII. |
Applications
| AC/DC Adapter Input Rectification | Industrial Control Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Single-phase 230VAC input rectification feeding 300VDC bulk capacitor in 15W wall adapter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier converting AC to pulsating DC; operates at line frequency with minimal reverse recovery stress. Use Value: 400V VRRM provides 1.7× margin over 230VAC peak (325V), while 150ns trr prevents excessive loss during zero-crossing transitions. | Use Scenario: Auxiliary 12V/1A supply derived from 24VAC control rail in PLC backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier in low-current, space-constrained linear regulator front-end. Use Value: DO-41 package fits legacy through-hole footprints; 1.2V VFM minimizes dropout across series pass transistor. |
| LED Driver Bulk Capacitor Charging | Relay Coil Snubber Circuit |
Use Scenario: Charging 47µF bulk capacitor in constant-current LED driver operating from 120VAC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier supplying ripple-sensitive current source; subjected to capacitive load derating. Use Value: 20% current derating applied per spec yields 1.2A IO, sufficient for 350mA LED string with 10% margin. | Use Scenario: Freewheeling path for 24VDC relay coil (80Ω, 300mA) in industrial I/O module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode suppressing inductive kickback during coil de-energization. Use Value: 50A IFSM handles 10× nominal coil current spikes; 150ns trr ensures rapid turn-off without voltage overshoot. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4937 | VRRM = 600V, trr = 200ns, VFM = 1.3V @ 1A | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery and higher forward drop at same current | Prefer when >400V isolation margin required; avoid where trr-driven EMI is critical. |
| FR104 | VRRM = 400V, trr = 150ns, VFM = 1.3V @ 1A, IO = 1.0A | Same VRRM/trr but lower current rating and higher VFM | Select only for <1A loads; verify thermal margin due to reduced IO and higher VFM. |
Compared with 1N4937 and FR104, PR1504S-B delivers optimal balance of 400V rating, 150ns trr, and 1.2V VFM at 1.5A - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 10–25W offline supplies where both efficiency and EMI must be controlled.

FAQ
Is PR1504S-B suitable for capacitive-load applications?
Yes, but with 20% current derating per datasheet Note 1. At 50°C ambient, its rated IO drops from 1.5A to 1.2A when charging bulk capacitors. This accounts for increased RMS current and thermal stress caused by peaky charging waveforms in capacitor-input filters.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and the storage temperature range is identical. For reliable long-term operation, design should limit Tj to ≤125°C using RθJA = 35 K/W and actual power dissipation - e.g., 1.5W loss yields +52.5°C rise above ambient, permitting 72.5°C max ambient.
Does PR1504S-B have a qualified lead-free finish?
Yes - it features bright tin-plated leads compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, including exemptions for high-melting-point solder (Annex VII). It passes MIL-STD-202 Method 208 solderability testing and supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak.
How does the DO-41 package affect thermal performance compared to DO-15?
DO-41 has slightly lower RθJA (35 K/W vs. DO-15's ~40 K/W) due to shorter lead length and tighter internal geometry, yielding ~15% better natural convection cooling. However, DO-15 offers higher mechanical robustness and is preferred for high-vibration environments despite marginally higher thermal resistance.
