Product details
Overview
1N4447/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded silicon switching diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package, rated for 75 V peak reverse voltage, 200 mA average forward current, 4 ns reverse recovery time, 4 pF junction capacitance, and operating from –65 °C to +150 °C - used in high-speed data line switching, RS-232/RS-422 interfaces, and Ethernet 10 Base-T receivers.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4447/TR datasheet, 1N4447/TR pinout, 1N4447/TR application, or 1N4447/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time, junction capacitance, peak reverse voltage, thermal limits, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening compatibility for ruggedized industrial and communications systems.
Technical Context
This discrete switching diode employs internal metallurgical bonding and double-plug glass construction to achieve stable low-capacitance operation and minimal reverse recovery tailing. Its 4 ns trr and 4 pF CJ enable reliable performance in >10 MHz digital signal routing and transient suppression on bidirectional serial lines.
The device operates with cathode band polarity indication, tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and supports through-hole mounting with flexible leads. It is not rated for avalanche or Zener operation and lacks integrated protection circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 75 V - maximum continuous DC reverse bias before significant leakage or breakdown in signal path applications. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns - enables clean edge transitions in 10–25 MHz clock/data lines without ringing or cross-talk. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 4 pF @ 0 V - minimizes loading on high-impedance, high-frequency nodes such as receiver inputs. |
| Average Forward Current (IO) | 200 mA - supports sustained conduction in logic-level clamping and level-shifting circuits. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - validated for use in extended-temperature industrial controllers and telecom line cards. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.0 V @ 10 mA - ensures low power dissipation during active clamping or steering functions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (DO-204AH), hermetically sealed glass case with metallurgically bonded die and double-plug construction; cathode identified by single black band; weight 0.2 g; lead finish: tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin over copper-clad steel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node during conduction; must be routed with low-inductance trace for fast-switching integrity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148WS-7-F | Same 75 V VRWM and 4 ns trr, but SOD-323 surface-mount package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); 3.5 pF CJ. | Requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-reliability leaded sockets. | Select when board space is constrained and automated pick-and-place is available. |
| 1N4448-1 | Identical DO-35 package, same 75 V VRWM and 4 ns trr, but VF specified at 100 mA (1.0 V) vs. 1N4447/TR at 10 mA - identical electrical behavior under typical signal-level loads. | No functional difference in clamping, steering, or interface roles; interchangeable in all documented designs. | Choose based on stock availability or screening grade preference (e.g., JANTXV variants). |
Compared with 1N4447/TR, the 1N4148WS-7-F offers space savings at the cost of assembly flexibility, while the 1N4448-1 provides direct form-fit-function equivalence with no design change required.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse recovery time specified for the 1N4447/TR?
The 1N4447/TR has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 4 ns at 10 mA forward current and 4 V reverse voltage, measured per standard JEDEC test conditions. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0239 datasheet. The 4 ns trr makes the 1N4447/TR suitable for use in high-speed digital interfaces up to ~25 MHz without introducing timing skew or signal degradation.
Does the 1N4447/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500 requirements?
The 1N4447/TR is offered with optional screening per MIL-PRF-19500, as stated in the Features section of the T4-LDS-0239 datasheet. Screening levels (e.g., JAN, JANTX, JANTXV) are indicated via part nomenclature suffixes - the base 1N4447/TR is commercial-grade, but variants like 1N4447-1 (with MQ/MX/MV prefixes) fulfill MIL-PRF-19500 requirements including environmental stress screening and lot traceability. Always verify the full part number's screening designation before specifying for military use.
What is the junction capacitance of the 1N4447/TR and why does it matter?
The 1N4447/TR exhibits a junction capacitance (CJ) of 4 pF at 0 V reverse bias, as published in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low capacitance minimizes signal loading on high-impedance, high-frequency nodes - critical for maintaining rise/fall times in RS-232 receivers, Ethernet 10 Base-T termination networks, and memory address decoders. Exceeding 5 pF would risk data-dependent jitter or bandwidth reduction in these applications.
Can the 1N4447/TR replace the 1N4148 in existing designs?
The 1N4447/TR shares identical key parameters with the 1N4148 - 75 V VRWM, 4 ns trr, 4 pF CJ, and DO-35 package - and is functionally interchangeable in most signal-switching applications. However, the 1N4447/TR is explicitly qualified for MIL-PRF-19500 screening and features metallurgical bonding, offering superior long-term reliability in thermally stressed or high-vibration environments compared to standard 1N4148 variants. Review screening requirements before substitution.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 1N4447/TR at typical operating current?
The 1N4447/TR has a forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at 10 mA forward current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. At higher currents (e.g., 100 mA), VF remains ≤1.0 V, ensuring low power loss during clamping or steering operations. This predictable VF supports accurate voltage margining in logic-level translation circuits and reduces thermal stress in compact layouts where multiple 1N4447/TR devices operate simultaneously.
