Product details
Overview
1N4154-1E3 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded silicon switching diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, rated for 35 V peak reverse voltage, 200 mA average forward current, 4 pF junction capacitance, 2 ns reverse recovery time, and operating from –65 °C to +150 °C. It serves as a high-speed signal rectifier in computer data lines and interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4154-1E3 datasheet, 1N4154-1E3 pinout, 1N4154-1E3 application, or 1N4154-1E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 35 V VRWM rating, low 4 pF capacitance, sub-2 ns trr, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening availability.
Technical Context
This diode employs a double-plug glass package with internal metallurgical bonding to minimize parasitic inductance and ensure stable high-frequency performance. Its 4 pF junction capacitance and 2 ns reverse recovery time enable reliable operation in 10 Mbps–100 Mbps digital signal paths.
The device uses tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin over copper-clad steel leads, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, with cathode polarity marked by a band. It is specified for use at junction temperatures up to +150 °C and storage up to +200 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 35 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating margin in 3.3 V–24 V logic interface clamping. |
| trr | 2 ns - Time to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking; enables clean edge integrity in >50 MHz clock/data lines. |
| CJ @ 0 V | 4 pF - Junction capacitance at zero bias; limits capacitive loading on high-speed signal traces (e.g., RS-232, Ethernet 10BASE-T). |
| IO | 200 mA - Average forward current handling; supports sustained switching in core driver and memory decode circuits. |
| TJ Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - Operational junction temperature range; qualifies for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems. |
| IR @ VR | 25 nA @ 35 V - Reverse leakage at rated VR; ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed or low-power logic interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed glass package with axial leads; cathode indicated by color band; weight 0.2 g; body diameter 1.40–2.29 mm, body length 3.05–5.08 mm, lead length ≥25.4 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node during conduction; requires trace routing compatible with 200 mA steady-state current. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse voltage terminal | Banded end; ties to higher-potential rail or clamping node; critical for correct polarity in ESD protection and level-shifting paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148-TR | 75 V VRWM, 4 ns trr, same DO-35 package, non-RoHS default | Higher voltage margin but slower switching; suitable where 35 V rating is insufficient | Select when system reverse transients exceed 35 V but sub-2 ns speed is not required. |
| BAS16,115 | 85 V VRWM, 4 ns trr, SOT-23 package, RoHS compliant | Surface-mount only; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening option and hermetic seal | Choose for automated assembly and space-constrained PCBs where military-grade reliability is not mandated. |
Compared with 1N4154-1E3, the 1N4148-TR offers higher reverse voltage tolerance at the cost of 2× longer trr, while the BAS16,115 trades hermetic sealing and screening capability for SMT manufacturability and wider VRWM - making each suitable for distinct reliability, layout, and environmental requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the 1N4154-1E3?
The 1N4154-1E3 has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 35 V. This is the maximum continuous DC reverse voltage the diode can withstand without entering avalanche breakdown under normal operating conditions at 25 °C. Exceeding this value risks irreversible damage, especially at elevated junction temperatures.
Does the 1N4154-1E3 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the "E3" suffix in 1N4154-1E3 explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte-tin plating over copper-clad steel leads and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the 1N4154-1E3 and why does it matter?
The 1N4154-1E3 has a reverse recovery time of 2 ns at 10 mA forward current. This ultrafast switching characteristic minimizes charge storage and prevents signal distortion in high-frequency digital applications such as Ethernet 10BASE-T and RS-232 data transmission, where edge fidelity is critical.
Can the 1N4154-1E3 be used in place of the 1N4148 in all applications?
No - while both are DO-35 switching diodes, the 1N4154-1E3 has a lower 35 V VRWM versus 75 V for the 1N4148, and faster 2 ns trr versus 4 ns. Substituting 1N4154-1E3 for 1N4148 is only safe in circuits where reverse voltage never exceeds 35 V; otherwise, premature breakdown may occur.
Is MIL-PRF-19500 screening available for the 1N4154-1E3?
Yes, MIL-PRF-19500 screening is available for the 1N4154-1E3 upon request, with grading levels including JAN (MQ), JANTX (MX), JANTXV (MV), and JANS (MSP). Screening adds tests for parametric consistency, burn-in, and lot traceability - essential for aerospace and defense deployments.
