Product details
Overview
PR1504-T 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 - optimized for high-efficiency AC/DC front-end rectification in offline power supplies and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the PR1504-T datasheet, PR1504-T pinout, PR1504-T application, or PR1504-T equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM derating margin, trr-dependent switching loss in flyback/frequency-modulated topologies, thermal resistance (RJA = 35 K/W), and DO-41 lead-form compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device employs a diffused junction structure to achieve fast switching with low forward conduction loss and controlled reverse recovery behavior. Its 150ns trr (measured at IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, Irr = 0.25A) supports operation up to ~100 kHz in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) SMPS designs.
The 400V VRRM rating targets universal-input (85–265VAC) offline applications where transient clamping margin and DC blocking stability are critical. Reverse leakage remains ≤5.0 µA at 25°C and ≤100 µA at 100°C under rated VR, ensuring low standby power in energy-sensitive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - Withstands peak line transients in 230VAC mains without avalanche breakdown |
| IO @ TA=50°C | 1.5 A - Sustains continuous output current in open-frame adapters with 9.5mm lead length |
| VFM @ IF=1.5A | 1.2 V - Limits conduction loss to ~1.8W at full load, easing thermal design |
| trr | 150 ns - Reduces switching loss and EMI generation compared to standard recovery diodes |
| RJA | 35 K/W - Enables 1.5A operation at ambient ≤70°C without heatsink in free-air conditions |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 50 A - Survives cold-start inrush surges in capacitor-input filter stages |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking. Standard lead spacing: 0.300" (7.62 mm). Cathode terminal identified by painted band; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | AC input / transformer secondary connection point | Accepts alternating polarity during positive half-cycle; must withstand surge current |
| Cathode | DC output / filter capacitor positive node | Delivers rectified current; polarity marking ensures correct orientation on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery (trr = 150 ns) | Reduces turn-off switching loss and associated RFI in high-frequency SMPS |
| Low VFM (1.2 V @ 1.5A) | Minimizes I²R heating and improves efficiency in compact, thermally constrained adapters |
| 50A non-repetitive surge rating | Handles repeated cold-start events without degradation in capacitor-input configurations |
| RoHS-compliant bright tin plating | Ensures reliable solder wetting per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and eliminates lead-based process risk |
Applications
| LED Driver Input Rectification | Offline AC/DC Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 50/60Hz AC from bridge input to feed constant-current LED driver IC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path enabling DC bus formation prior to buck/boost regulation. Use Value: 150ns trr suppresses high-frequency ringing induced by transformer leakage inductor interaction. | Use Scenario: Primary-side rectification in 5–15W universal-input wall adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier converting transformer secondary AC to pulsating DC for bulk capacitor charging. Use Value: 400V VRRM provides 1.5× margin over 265VAC peak (375V), accommodating line surges and ringing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L04 | VRRM = 400V, IO = 1.0A, trr = 100ns, DO-41 | Lower average current rating; tighter trr spec | Preferred where switching frequency >150 kHz and thermal headroom is limited |
| 1N4937 | VRRM = 600V, IO = 1.0A, trr = 200ns, DO-41 | Higher voltage rating but slower recovery and lower current capability | Suitable for higher-voltage, lower-frequency applications where surge robustness outweighs speed |
Compared with STTH1L04 and 1N4937, PR1504-T uniquely balances 1.5A current handling, 400V blocking, and 150ns recovery - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 10–12W universal-input adapters requiring proven reliability and legacy DO-41 footprint compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PR1504-T?
The PR1504-T has a specified junction and storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance (RJA = 35 K/W) means that at 1.5A DC load and 50°C ambient, junction temperature reaches approximately 102.5°C - well within safe operating limits. Derating is required above 50°C ambient per Figure 1.
Is PR1504-T compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
PR1504-T features bright tin-plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-202 Method 208 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It is qualified for lead-free wave and hand-soldering processes but not recommended for standard Pb-free reflow due to its axial DO-41 package construction and thermal mass limitations.
Does PR1504-T have a cathode band marking?
Yes - PR1504-T uses a distinct cathode band (painted stripe) on the DO-41 body to identify the cathode terminal. This marking aligns with industry-standard polarity conventions and ensures correct orientation during manual or automated assembly onto PCBs.
Why is PR1504-T marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN"?
This designation reflects Diodes Incorporated's internal roadmap guidance: newer surface-mount alternatives (e.g., SOD-123W or SMA packages) offer superior thermal performance and board-space efficiency. However, PR1504-T remains fully qualified, in active production, and appropriate for through-hole designs requiring proven reliability and long-lifecycle support.
