Product details
Overview
1N3611US/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 supply rectification and catch-diode applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3611US/TR datasheet, 1N3611US/TR pinout, 1N3611US/TR application, or 1N3611US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/228 qualification, -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range, 38°C/W thermal resistance, cathode-band polarity marking, and surface-mount MELF-compatible "US" suffix configuration.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's legacy 1N3611–1N3614 series of standard-recovery rectifiers, designed for robustness in harsh environments. It uses a tungsten-slug–based hermetic glass package with Sn/Pb-plated copper axial leads and exhibits controlled avalanche capability up to 300 W peak reverse power.
Its electrical behavior is defined by a 1.1 V maximum forward voltage at 1 A pulsed, ≤1.0 μA reverse leakage at VRWM, and linear derating of forward current from 1.0 A at 100°C to 0.30 A at 150°C - all specified at 30°C case temperature per MIL-PRF-19500/228 test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 200 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage sustainable across cathode-anode without breakdown |
| Average Rectified Forward Current (IO) | 1.0 A @ TA = 100°C - usable DC output current in bridge/half-bridge rectifiers with adequate heatsinking |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1 V @ 1 A pulsed - conduction loss contributor in low-frequency switching and linear power supplies |
| Non-Repetitive Surge Current (IFSM) | 30 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - withstands inrush and fault transients in industrial AC-DC front-ends |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables operation in aerospace, downhole, and military vehicle electronics |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 38°C/W junction-to-lead - determines required lead length (≥10 mm) for thermal management in PCB mounting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3611US | No TR suffix; bulk packaging instead of tape-and-reel; identical electrical and mechanical specs | Suitable for manual assembly or low-volume prototyping where reel handling is unnecessary | Select 1N3611US/TR when automated SMT placement or consistent reel-based logistics are required |
| 1N5614US | MELF surface-mount package; same 200 V VRWM and 1 A IO rating but different thermal profile and mounting method | Used in compact, high-density PCB layouts where axial leads are incompatible with layout constraints | Choose 1N5614US only if board space and reflow compatibility outweigh axial-lead serviceability and MIL-PRF-19500/228 traceability needs |
Compared with 1N3611US/TR, the 1N3611US lacks tape-and-reel packaging but offers identical performance, while the 1N5614US trades axial-leaded ruggedness and military qualification for MELF footprint efficiency - making the former ideal for high-reliability through-hole production and the latter for space-constrained commercial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N3611US/TR?
The 1N3611US/TR has a maximum junction temperature rating of +175°C and a minimum of -65°C, enabling operation in extreme environments such as jet engine bays or deep-well sensors. This rating is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/228 and supported by its 38°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance. The 1N3611US/TR maintains functional integrity across this full range when mounted with ≥10 mm lead length from body.
Does the 1N3611US/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/228 requirements?
Yes, the 1N3611US/TR is explicitly qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/228 as a Level JANTX device, including screening for vibration, thermal shock, and hermeticity. Its voidless glass construction, Category I metallurgical bond, and traceable lot documentation satisfy all mandatory tests in the specification. The 1N3611US/TR datasheet T4-LDS-0190 Rev. 1 confirms this qualification status.
What does the "US" suffix indicate in 1N3611US/TR?
The "US" suffix denotes Microsemi's surface-mount-compatible version of the 1N3611 family, packaged in a square-end MELF configuration - though the 1N3611US/TR itself remains an axial-lead device with tape-and-reel packaging. The "TR" indicates tape-and-reel format per EIA-296, not MELF. The 1N3611US/TR retains the same electrical specs and MIL qualification as the through-hole JAN1N3611 but adds automated assembly readiness.
How is polarity marked on the 1N3611US/TR?
The 1N3611US/TR uses a painted cathode band on the glass body to identify the cathode terminal, consistent with JEDEC standard marking for axial diodes. The unmarked end is the anode. This marking is visible after soldering and remains legible throughout the device's operational life due to the hermetic glass encapsulation. Polarity verification is critical before installation in bridge or flyback circuits to prevent reverse-bias overstress of the 1N3611US/TR.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 1N3611US/TR at rated current?
The 1N3611US/TR exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 1 A pulsed forward current, measured at 30°C case temperature. This value reflects conduction loss under typical rectifier duty cycles and directly impacts power supply efficiency and thermal design. At higher temperatures or DC conditions, VF increases slightly, but the 1N3611US/TR remains within spec up to 175°C junction temperature.
