Product details
Overview
1N3650 from Microsemi is a high-reliability glass-passivated power rectifier diode rated for 1000 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRWM), 3.3 A average forward current (IF), and 25 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), used in military-grade DC power supplies and high-voltage industrial rectification circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N3650 datasheet, 1N3650 pinout, 1N3650 application, or 1N3650 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/260 qualification, DO-203AA (DO-4) stud-mount package, 2.0 °C/W thermal resistance, 150 °C maximum case temperature, and low 5 µA reverse leakage at 1000 V and 25 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-junction, silicon planar power rectifier with glass-to-metal seal construction and glass-passivated die-enabling stable performance under high-voltage transients and extreme thermal cycling. Its design supports continuous conduction mode in high-voltage AC/DC conversion stages where reliability exceeds commercial-grade requirements.
The 1N3650 is specified across two temperature conditions: reverse leakage is limited to 5 µA at 1000 V and 25 °C, and rises to 200 µA at 1000 V and 150 °C-demonstrating controlled thermal drift consistent with MIL-qualified high-reliability rectifiers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 1000 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; defines usable input voltage range in high-voltage rectifier designs. |
| IF (avg) | 3.3 A at TC = 150 °C - Continuous forward current capability when mounted on heatsink maintaining 150 °C case temperature. |
| IFSM | 25 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - Surge rating for line-start transients or capacitor-charging inrush without failure. |
| RθJC | 2.0 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; enables precise heatsink sizing for thermal management in sealed enclosures. |
| VF | 2.2 V @ IF = 10 A, Tj = 25 °C - Forward voltage drop determines conduction loss and thermal load during steady-state operation. |
| IR | 5 µA @ VR = 1000 V, Tj = 25 °C - Low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and stable voltage hold-off in high-impedance circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-203AA (DO-4), stud-mounted, glass-to-metal sealed metal case with threaded anode terminal and cathode stud. Anode is electrically connected to the metal case; cathode is isolated via insulated mounting stud.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Case) | Forward current entry point | Electrically connected to metal case; requires insulating washer if mounting to grounded heatsink. |
| Cathode (Stud) | Forward current exit point | Isolated threaded stud; provides mechanical mounting and electrical connection to output rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/260 qualification | Meets military screening, testing, and traceability requirements for aerospace and defense power systems. |
| Glass-passivated die | Eliminates surface contamination sensitivity and improves long-term stability under humidity and thermal stress. |
| Glass-to-metal seal construction | Provides hermetic sealing against moisture and contaminants, enabling operation in harsh environmental conditions. |
| 150 °C maximum case temperature | Supports use in high-ambient environments such as engine bays or enclosed industrial cabinets without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N3650R | Reversed polarity: anode and cathode terminals swapped versus 1N3650; marked with "R" suffix. | Required where circuit topology demands cathode-to-case configuration instead of anode-to-case. | Select 1N3650R only when schematic layout mandates reversed terminal orientation; otherwise, 1N3650 is standard. |
| 1N1128RA | Same VRWM (1000 V), same package, but qualified to JAN level with additional screening and lot traceability. | Used in mission-critical avionics where full JAN certification and extended test data are mandated. | Choose 1N1128RA for programs requiring JAN documentation and enhanced reliability reporting; 1N3650 meets standard MIL-PRF-19500/260. |
Compared with 1N3650R and 1N1128RA, the 1N3650 offers standard MIL-PRF-19500/260 compliance with optimized cost and lead time, while retaining identical electrical specs and DO-203AA mechanical form-making it ideal for high-volume defense subsystems where full JAN certification is not required.

FAQ
What is the maximum case temperature rating for the 1N3650?
The 1N3650 is rated for a maximum operating case temperature (TC) of +150 °C. This specification is defined under absolute maximum ratings and applies when the device is mounted to a heatsink capable of maintaining that temperature at the case interface. Exceeding this limit risks irreversible degradation of the glass-passivated junction and seal integrity.
Does the 1N3650 have a specified forward voltage drop?
Yes, the 1N3650 has a typical forward voltage drop (VF) of 2.2 V at IF = 10 A and junction temperature of 25 °C. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (300 µs pulse width, 2% duty cycle) and serves as the baseline for calculating conduction losses in power supply designs.
Is the 1N3650 compatible with DO-203AA (DO-4) footprint layouts?
Yes, the 1N3650 uses the DO-203AA (formerly DO-4) package with standardized dimensions including a 0.424–0.437 inch height and 0.163–0.189 inch unthreaded stud diameter. Its mechanical outline matches the MIL-STD-1835B DO-203AA specification, ensuring compatibility with existing DO-4 mounting hardware and PCB cutouts.
How does reverse leakage of the 1N3650 change at elevated temperature?
At 1000 V reverse bias, the 1N3650 exhibits 5 µA maximum reverse current (IR) at 25 °C, rising to 200 µA at 150 °C. This 40× increase reflects intrinsic silicon behavior and must be accounted for in high-temperature hold-off circuits where leakage-induced power dissipation could affect system efficiency or thermal balance.
What does the "R" suffix mean in related part numbers like 1N3650R?
The "R" suffix in 1N3650R indicates reversed polarity: the anode and cathode terminals are swapped relative to the standard 1N3650. In 1N3650R, the metal case becomes the cathode and the stud becomes the anode-requiring schematic and layout revision to maintain correct circuit functionality.
