About rectifier diode discs

All discs are assembled in highly reliable, robust, and hermetic-sealed ceramic housings to avoid mechanical damages as well as almost any negative environmental influences for e.g., high humidity. Besides discs for fast switching diodes as well as soft and fast recovery freewheeling diodes for IGCT and disc IGBT switches we offer a broad range of diode disc types for rectifier applications.

Highlights of rectifier diode discs

Our disc devices are hermetically sealed, double side cooled, and suitable for both forced and natural cooling systems especially for usage under harsh conditions. All rectifier discs use ceramic housing for the highest robustness. Infineon also offers a broad range of stack assemblies with thyristor and/or diode discs.

Applications for diode discs

Key industrial applications for rectifier diodes in disc housings (also known as hockey puck housing) are low- and medium-voltage drives (motor control) and power supplies. In addition, they are the perfect product for battery chargers, de-coupling diodes, and electrolysis including green hydrogen electrolysis.
