Product details
Overview
1N4149-1 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded silicon switching diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for 75 V peak reverse voltage, 200 mA average forward current, and 4 ns reverse recovery time, used in high-speed data line switching and RS-232/RS-422 interface networks.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4149-1 datasheet, 1N4149-1 pinout, 1N4149-1 application, or 1N4149-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified reverse recovery time (trr = 4 ns), low junction capacitance (CJ = 4 pF at 0 V), MIL-PRF-19500 screening availability, RoHS-compliant variants, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
The 1N4149-1 employs internal metallurgical bonding and double-plug glass construction to achieve stable high-frequency performance and thermal robustness across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Its hermetic sealing ensures long-term reliability in mission-critical switching roles where moisture ingress or parameter drift must be avoided.
Designed for fast transient response, the device delivers consistent 4 ns reverse recovery time under 10 mA test conditions and maintains ≤4 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias-enabling clean signal edge integrity in Ethernet 10 Base-T and magnetic core driver circuits without added snubbing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 75 V - supports DC blocking in 5–24 V logic-level interfaces without breakdown risk |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns - enables reliable operation up to ~100 MHz switching in data line applications |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 4 pF @ 0 V - minimizes signal loading on high-impedance RS-232 receivers and thin-film memory lines |
| Average Forward Current (IO) | 200 mA - sufficient for driving TTL/CMOS inputs and small-signal relay coils |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.0 V @ 10 mA - low conduction loss preserves noise margin in multi-diode logic arrays |
| Operating Junction Temp | -65 °C to +150 °C - qualified for aerospace, industrial control, and extended-temperature computing |
Pinout & Package
1N4149-1 is housed in a hermetically sealed DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass axial package with cathode indicated by a single band. Terminals are tin/lead plated or RoHS-compliant matte-tin over copper-clad steel, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of circuit; enables conduction when biased >0.7 V above cathode |
| Cathode (banded end) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Band identifies polarity for correct orientation in series-switching or clamping configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4151-1 | Same VRWM (75 V), but trr = 2 ns and IR = 50 nA @ VR (vs. 20 nA for 1N4149-1) | Better suited for ultra-high-speed sampling gates where sub-3 ns recovery is critical | Select 1N4151-1 only if trr < 3 ns is required; otherwise 1N4149-1 offers tighter IR spec and identical packaging |
| 1N4448-1 | Same VRWM (75 V), trr = 4 ns, but VF = 1.0 V @ 100 mA (vs. 1.0 V @ 10 mA for 1N4149-1); CJ = 4 pF | Higher forward current capability supports higher-drive logic buffers and relay drivers | Choose 1N4448-1 when IO > 100 mA is needed; 1N4149-1 remains optimal for low-current, low-leakage signal routing |
Compared with 1N4151-1 and 1N4448-1, the 1N4149-1 provides the lowest reverse leakage (20 nA @ VR) among the three while maintaining identical 4 ns trr and DO-35 footprint-making it preferred for precision analog switching and low-power data line protection where leakage-induced offset must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse recovery time (trr) specification for 1N4149-1?
The 1N4149-1 has a guaranteed maximum reverse recovery time of 4 ns when tested at 10 mA forward current and specified reverse bias conditions. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of T4-LDS-0239 Rev. 1 and reflects the device's suitability for high-speed digital switching applications such as RS-232 line protection and Ethernet 10 Base-T signal conditioning. The 1N4149-1 maintains this trr consistently across its qualified temperature range.
Does 1N4149-1 meet MIL-PRF-19500 requirements?
Yes, the 1N4149-1 is available with screening options compliant with MIL-PRF-19500, as explicitly stated in the "Screening in reference to MIL-PRF-19500 available" line on page 1 of T4-LDS-0239 Rev. 1. Screening levels (e.g., JAN, JANTX) are encoded in the full part number nomenclature-such as MQ 1N4149-1 for JAN-grade-and require ordering with appropriate suffixes. Standard commercial 1N4149-1 is not automatically screened unless specified.
What is the junction capacitance (CJ) of 1N4149-1 and why does it matter?
The 1N4149-1 exhibits a junction capacitance of 4 pF at 0 V reverse bias, as measured and published in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low capacitance minimizes signal loading on high-impedance nodes-critical in RS-232 receivers, thin-film memory address lines, and Ethernet PHY inputs-where excessive capacitance would degrade rise/fall times or cause crosstalk. The 4 pF value is consistent across the 1N4149-1, 1N4151-1, and 1N4446–49 series.
Is 1N4149-1 RoHS compliant?
Yes, RoHS-compliant versions of 1N4149-1 are available, indicated by the "e3" suffix in the part nomenclature (e.g., 1N4149-1e3). Per the "PART NOMENCLATURE" section on page 2 of T4-LDS-0239 Rev. 1, "e3" denotes RoHS compliance with matte-tin plating, while blank denotes non-RoHS tin/lead termination. Both versions share identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for plating composition.
What package type is used for 1N4149-1 and how is polarity marked?
The 1N4149-1 uses the DO-35 (also designated DO-204AH) hermetically sealed glass axial package. Polarity is marked by a single cathode band near one end of the glass body, as confirmed in the "MECHANICAL and PACKAGING" section on page 2 of T4-LDS-0239 Rev. 1. Leads are tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, and the device weighs 0.2 grams. Dimensions conform to JEDEC standards with BD = 1.40–2.29 mm and BL = 3.05–5.08 mm.
