Product details
Overview
1N3611E3/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified standard recovery axial-lead glass rectifier diode rated for 200 V working peak reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current at 100°C, and 30 A non-repetitive surge current; it features voidless hermetic glass sealing with Category I metallurgical bond and is used in high-reliability power conversion circuits such as MIL-STD-461-compliant avionics power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3611E3/TR datasheet, 1N3611E3/TR pinout, 1N3611E3/TR application, or 1N3611E3/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VRWM rating, 1.1 V forward voltage at 1 A, 300 µA maximum reverse leakage at VRWM, -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/228 Level JAN.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional current-conducting device in AC-to-DC conversion stages, with standard recovery time optimized for line-frequency (50/60 Hz) rectification rather than high-frequency switching. Its internal tungsten slug construction and hard-glass encapsulation provide low thermal resistance (38°C/W) and robust avalanche capability under transient overvoltage conditions.
The 1N3611E3/TR uses axial copper leads with Sn/Pb finish and cathode band polarity marking, conforming to JEDEC TO-204AA (A package) mechanical dimensions. It is not rated for fast or ultrafast recovery and must be derated linearly above 100°C ambient per 13.3 mA/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 200 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before breakdown in normal operation |
| IO @ 100°C | 1.0 A - Sustained DC output current capability with heatsinking at 100°C ambient |
| VF @ 1 A | 1.1 V - Forward conduction loss impacting efficiency and thermal rise in rectifier bridges |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3611US | Same electrical ratings but MELF surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole or wire-wrapped prototyping | Select when automated placement and board space reduction are prioritized over manual repairability |
| 1N5614 | Same VRWM (200 V) and IO (1.0 A), but commercial-grade (non-MIL) and epoxy-encapsulated | Lacks hermetic seal, Category I bond, and radiation hardness; not qualified to MIL-PRF-19500 | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial applications where environmental stress is moderate |
Compared with 1N3611E3/TR, the 1N3611US offers identical electrical performance in a compact MELF format but sacrifices mechanical serviceability, while the 1N5614 reduces cost and qualification rigor at the expense of long-term reliability in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum working peak reverse voltage for the 1N3611E3/TR?
The 1N3611E3/TR has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 200 V, meaning it can safely block up to 200 V of reverse polarity voltage across its terminals under specified operating conditions. This rating is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/228 and applies across the full -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range. Exceeding this voltage risks premature breakdown or parametric shift.
Does the 1N3611E3/TR have a hermetic seal, and why does it matter?
Yes, the 1N3611E3/TR uses a voidless hermetically sealed hard-glass package with internal Category I metallurgical bonds. This construction prevents moisture, contaminants, and atmospheric gases from penetrating the die environment-critical for maintaining stable electrical parameters over decades in high-humidity, vacuum, or corrosive settings. Non-hermetic alternatives like epoxy-packaged diodes may degrade under similar conditions.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 1N3611E3/TR at rated current?
The 1N3611E3/TR exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V at 1 A pulsed forward current and 25°C case temperature. At higher temperatures or continuous DC operation, VF decreases slightly due to semiconductor physics, but thermal design must account for power dissipation (P = VF × IO) and resulting junction heating to stay within the 175°C limit.
Is the 1N3611E3/TR suitable for high-frequency switching applications?
No, the 1N3611E3/TR is a standard recovery rectifier optimized for 50/60 Hz and 400 Hz line-frequency applications-not for high-frequency switching. Its recovery time is not specified in the datasheet because it is intentionally slower to minimize switching noise and EMI in legacy power systems. For SMPS or inverters above 20 kHz, fast or ultrafast rectifiers such as the 1N4937 or UF4007 should be selected instead.
How is polarity identified on the 1N3611E3/TR package?
Polarity on the 1N3611E3/TR is marked by a distinct cathode band painted on the glass body near one end. The lead adjacent to the band is the cathode terminal; the opposite lead is the anode. This marking complies with JEDEC standards and is visible under standard visual inspection-no multimeter verification is needed for correct orientation during board assembly or wiring.
