ABB 5SDF1045H0002 – Press‑Pack Fast Recovery Diode (StakPak style) for MV Drives and Converter Stacks
ABB’s 5SDF1045H0002 appears to be a press‑pack fast recovery diode commonly used as a freewheel or rectifier element in medium‑voltage converter stacks. From my experience, plants keep this device on hand when they’re refreshing a position in an inverter/rectifier leg and want predictable reverse‑recovery behavior and solid thermal performance without re‑engineering the stack. One thing I appreciate is the press‑pack construction—no wire bonds, uniform pressure contact—which typically handles thermal cycling better in tough applications.

Application Fields
You’ll typically see 5SDF1045H0002 in high‑power converter positions where reliable freewheel/rectification is essential:
- Medium‑voltage variable‑speed drives for pumps, fans, and compressors
- Industrial converters in metals, mining, cement, and chemicals
- Wind/energy converters and large rectifier bridges
- Stack refurbishments and lifecycle extensions during planned outages
Advantages & Value
- Reliability: Press‑pack structure typically rides through thermal cycles better than plastic packages in many cases.
- Compatibility: Like‑for‑like replacement maintains existing spacers, busbars, and cooling hardware.
- Predictable performance: Fast recovery helps keep switching losses and dv/dt stress under control.
- Procurement practicality: Sourcing the exact ABB code avoids mismatched recovery/voltage ratings and requalification delays.
“We replaced a freewheel position with 5SDF1045H0002 during a stack refresh. Thermal scans look cooler and the inverter stopped logging sporadic reverse‑recovery alarms.” — Maintenance lead, minerals processing MV drive room
Installation & Maintenance
- Clamping & mechanics: Apply OEM‑specified clamping force with a calibrated fixture; ensure flat, clean heat‑sink faces and correct insulator stack‑up.
- Thermal path: Use the recommended interface material; torque busbar hardware evenly and re‑check after the first thermal cycle if required.
- Electrical safety: LOTO; allow the DC link to fully discharge; observe ESD precautions when handling semiconductors.
- System checks: Verify snubber health and commutation layout; scope low‑load starts to confirm clean recovery and acceptable dv/dt.
- Routine care: Keep airflow paths clean; perform periodic thermal imaging under load and review trip logs for early warnings.
Quality & Certifications
- Manufacturing quality: Produced under ISO 9001 processes (typical for ABB power semiconductors).
- Compliance: Intended for integration inside CE/UL compliant converter systems; RoHS status depends on production year.
- Warranty: 365‑day warranty from shipment date.
