Product details
Overview
1N4150 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded switching diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 50 V reverse voltage, 200 mA forward current, and 4 A surge (1 µs), used in military-grade timing, clamping, and waveform shaping circuits operating from –65°C to +175°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4150 datasheet, 1N4150 pinout, 1N4150 application, or 1N4150 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/231 JANTXV qualification, 4 ns reverse recovery time, 2.5 pF junction capacitance, thermal resistance of 250°C/W, and compatibility with high-reliability aerospace and defense power control designs.
Technical Context
The 1N4150 is a silicon planar epitaxial switching diode fabricated using double-plug construction and metallurgical bonding to ensure low leakage and stable high-temperature operation. Its hermetic DO-35 glass package meets MIL-PRF-19500/231 requirements for JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV screening levels.
It delivers fast switching performance with TRR ≤ 4 ns at IF = IR = 10 mA and IRec = 1 mA, VF ≤ 1.00 V at 200 mA, and VRWM = 50 V, making it suitable for pulse conditioning and high-speed logic interface protection in harsh-environment systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 50 V - Maximum DC blocking voltage before significant leakage or breakdown in normal operation. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 200 mA @ TA = +25°C to +75°C - Continuous conduction capability without derating. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (TRR) | ≤ 4 ns - Enables use in >10 MHz switching applications such as pulse shaping and digital signal routing. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | ≤ 2.5 pF @ 0 V - Minimizes signal distortion and loading in RF and high-speed digital interfaces. |
| Surge Current (1 µs) | 4.0 A - Withstands transient overcurrent events common in inductive load switching and ESD protection paths. |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - Supports deployment in engine bays, avionics bays, and downhole instrumentation without derating. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 250°C/W max @ L = 0.375″ - Defines heat transfer limit from junction to lead; critical for thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed DO-35 glass package with axial leads; cathode identified by banding at one end. Lead material: copper-clad steel; finish: tin/lead.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry terminal | Connected to lower-potential side in forward-biased configuration; must be routed with adequate current-carrying trace width. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Banded end; connects to higher-potential node during reverse bias; determines polarity-sensitive placement on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/231 Qualified | JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV screening levels confirmed - ensures reliability for flight-critical and mission-essential systems. |
| Metallurgical Bonding | Eliminates interfacial voids and delamination under thermal cycling - improves long-term bond integrity at 175°C. |
| Double-Plug Construction | Reduces series resistance and enhances mechanical stability - supports consistent VF and TRR across temperature extremes. |
| Hermetic Glass Seal | Prevents moisture ingress and corrosion - maintains IR ≤ 0.1 µA at 50 V and 25°C over 20+ year service life. |
Applications
| Aerospace Pulse Conditioning | Defense System Clamping |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148W | Plastic SOD-123 package; TRR ≤ 4 ns but VRWM = 100 V; not MIL-qualified. | Commercial industrial controls only; unsuitable for flight hardware or extended temperature deployment. | Select when cost and volume matter more than radiation tolerance or –65°C startup capability. |
| 1N914B | DO-35 glass, but only JAN-level screening; VRWM = 75 V; TRR ≤ 5 ns; no JANTXV option. | Limited to non-safety-critical ground support equipment where full MIL-PRF-19500/231 compliance is waived. | Choose only if procurement authority permits reduced screening level and higher VRWM is required. |
Compared with 1N4150, the 1N4148W offers higher VRWM and lower cost but lacks hermeticity and temperature rating; the 1N914B provides similar packaging but omits JANTXV screening and has looser TRR spec - neither matches the 1N4150's combination of MIL-PRF-19500/231 JANTXV qualification, 175°C operation, and 4 ns TRR.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the 1N4150?
The 1N4150 has a DC reverse voltage (VRWM) rating of 50 V, verified per MIL-PRF-19500/231 test conditions at 25°C. This rating remains valid across its full operating temperature range (–65°C to +175°C), with IR held ≤ 0.1 µA at 50 V and 25°C. The 1N4150 must not be operated beyond this voltage in continuous reverse bias without risk of breakdown.
Is the 1N4150 suitable for high-temperature applications like downhole tools?
Yes, the 1N4150 is explicitly rated for operation from –65°C to +175°C and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/231, making it appropriate for downhole instrumentation. Its hermetic DO-35 package, metallurgical bonding, and thermal resistance of 250°C/W enable reliable function at sustained 175°C junction temperatures without parameter shift or seal failure - a key requirement for oilfield electronics.
Does the 1N4150 have a specified reverse recovery time (TRR)?
Yes, the 1N4150 has a maximum reverse recovery time (TRR) of 4 ns, measured at IF = IR = 10 mA and IRec = 1 mA per MIL-PRF-19500/231. This value is guaranteed across screening levels (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV) and supports use in high-frequency switching applications such as pulse shaping and digital signal conditioning up to ~100 MHz.
What does the "-1" suffix in 1N4150-1 indicate?
The "-1" suffix in 1N4150-1 denotes compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/231 for the 1N4150 device type, confirming that the part meets the specification's electrical, mechanical, environmental, and screening requirements. It is not a revision code or variant identifier - all qualified 1N4150 devices supplied by Microsemi carry the -1 suffix to indicate full specification conformance.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4150 package?
The 1N4150 uses a cathode band marking on its hermetically sealed DO-35 glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode terminal, and the unmarked end is the anode. This marking is visible under standard visual inspection and aligns with MIL-PRF-19500/231 mechanical drawing requirements for axial-leaded diodes.
