Product details
Overview
UF5A400D1-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 5A, 400V ultra-fast recovery rectifier diode in TO252 (DPAK) package, featuring 28 ns reverse recovery time, 0.95 V forward voltage at 5A/25°C, and 100 A non-repetitive surge current rating. It serves as a primary output rectifier in offline AC-DC power supplies for industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the UF5A400D1-13 datasheet, UF5A400D1-13 pinout, UF5A400D1-13 application, or UF5A400D1-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include soft-switching capability for EMI reduction, thermal resistance of 2.0 °C/W junction-to-case, and automotive-grade qualification readiness per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This ultra-fast rectifier employs optimized die construction to minimize minority carrier lifetime, enabling fast turn-off with low reverse recovery charge (Qrr). Its soft recovery characteristic reduces voltage overshoot and ringing during commutation in high-frequency switching topologies like LLC resonant converters.
The device operates across -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range and delivers stable performance under repetitive 400 V peak reverse voltage stress. Thermal design leverages the TO252 package's exposed cathode pad for direct PCB heat sinking, supported by a typical RθJC of 2.0 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 5 A - average forward current rating at TC = 110°C with adequate heatsinking |
| tRR | 28 ns (typ) - reverse recovery time enabling operation up to ~500 kHz switching frequencies |
| VF | 0.95 V @ 5A, 25°C - forward voltage drop determining conduction loss in rectification stage |
| RθJC | 2.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case, defining minimum copper area needed for thermal management |
| IR | 10 µA @ 400V, 25°C - leakage current affecting standby power and high-impedance bias networks |
| IFSM | 100 A - peak surge current handling capability during cold-start or line transients |
Pinout & Package
The UF5A400D1-13 uses a TO252 (DPAK) surface-mount package with an exposed cathode pad on the bottom for thermal dissipation. The package features three terminals: Anode (left pin), Cathode (right pin and exposed backside metal), and thermal tab (cathode-connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Left Pin) | AC input connection point | Receives incoming alternating current; must be routed with low-inductance trace in high-dI/dt applications |
| Cathode (Right Pin) | DC output node | Delivers rectified positive DC; electrically tied to exposed backside thermal pad |
| Exposed Pad (Bottom) | Cathode thermal path | Provides primary thermal conduction path to PCB copper; requires ≥16 mm² solder mask defined copper area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast die construction | Enables tRR ≤ 35 ns, reducing switching losses and EMI in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs |
| Soft, fast switching capability | Minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing during diode turn-off, easing snubber design |
| Low leakage current | IR ≤ 10 µA at 400 V/25°C supports high-voltage hold-off in standby and light-load conditions |
| TO252 thermal performance | RθJC = 2.0 °C/W allows 5 A continuous operation with minimal external heatsink in compact layouts |
| RoHS 3 & "Green" compliant | Halogen-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) and lead-free finish meets IEC 61249-2-21 requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH5L06 | 600 V VRRM, 5 A IF(AV), tRR = 35 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 5A/25°C | Higher voltage rating suits 400 VAC input systems; higher VF increases conduction loss | Select when 600 V blocking margin is required for transient overvoltage robustness |
| MBR540F | 40 V VRRM, 5 A IF(AV), Schottky structure, VF = 0.55 V @ 5A/25°C, no reverse recovery | Not suitable for 400 V applications; limited to ≤40 V DC-DC outputs | Use only in low-voltage, high-efficiency secondary-side rectification where reverse voltage <40 V |
Compared with STTH5L06 and MBR540F, the UF5A400D1-13 uniquely balances 400 V blocking, ultra-fast recovery, and low VF for cost-sensitive industrial AC-DC front ends-neither over-specified nor voltage-inadequate.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The UF5A400D1-13 has a specified junction temperature range of -65°C to +175°C. For continuous operation at 5 A average forward current, the junction temperature must remain ≤175°C, which requires maintaining case temperature ≤110°C using the TO252 package's 2.0 °C/W RθJC and appropriate PCB copper area per Diodes' recommended pad layout.
Is this diode qualified for automotive applications?
The UF5A400D1-13 is not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101 but is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. Diodes Incorporated states that automotive-grade versions with full AEC-Q101 qualification are available upon request and require specific change control-standard UF5A400D1-13 should not be used in safety-critical automotive systems without formal qualification.
How does the soft recovery characteristic affect EMI performance?
Soft recovery reduces the rate of current collapse (di/dt) during turn-off, suppressing high-frequency voltage spikes and ringing caused by parasitic inductance. Measured data shows >15 dB reduction in 100–300 MHz radiated emissions compared to standard fast recovery diodes in identical 200 kHz flyback converters, directly easing EMC filter design.
Can the exposed cathode pad be left unconnected for low-power use?
No-the exposed cathode pad is electrically and thermally connected to the cathode terminal and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour. Leaving it unconnected violates the thermal model, risks exceeding RθJA derating limits, and may cause premature failure at >1 A due to localized junction overheating, even if ambient temperature appears acceptable.
