Product details
Overview
1N4449/TR 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, 4 ns reverse recovery time, and 2 pF junction capacitance at 0 V. It serves as a high-speed signal rectifier in data line interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4449/TR datasheet, 1N4449/TR pinout, 1N4449/TR application, or 1N4449/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time, junction capacitance, peak reverse voltage, forward voltage drop at 30 mA, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening compatibility.
Technical Context
This diode uses internal metallurgical bonding to achieve stable low-leakage performance across temperature. Its double-plug DO-35 glass package ensures hermetic sealing and mechanical robustness for high-reliability through-hole mounting.
The 1N4449/TR exhibits 2 pF junction capacitance at 0 V and 4 ns reverse recovery time under 10 mA test conditions - parameters critical for minimizing signal distortion in RS-232/RS-422 and Ethernet 10 Base-T data line applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 75 V - supports operation in 5 V–24 V logic-level signal paths with margin against transients. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns - enables reliable switching up to ~100 MHz in digital signal routing and pulse shaping. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 2 pF @ 0 V - minimizes capacitive loading on high-speed data lines such as RS-232 receivers. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.0 V @ 30 mA - ensures low power dissipation and minimal voltage drop in series-coupled signal conditioning. |
| Average Forward Current (IO) | 200 mA - sufficient for transient clamping and level-shifting in peripheral interface circuits. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - validated for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
1N4449/TR is housed in a hermetically sealed DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package with axial leads. Cathode is marked by a visible band on the glass body; polarity must be observed during PCB placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side of signal path; accepts forward bias for conduction. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked by colored band; connected to higher-potential side or ground reference in clamping configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or harsh environments. |
| Metallurgical bonding | Ensures low thermal resistance and stable junction characteristics over 1000+ thermal cycles. |
| Double-plug construction | Improves mechanical lead retention and solder joint reliability during board flex or vibration stress. |
| MIL-PRF-19500 screening option | Enables use in defense/aerospace programs requiring tested lot traceability and burn-in validation. |
Applications
| RS-232 Interface Protection | Ethernet 10 Base-T Signal Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting UART transceivers from ESD and line reflections in industrial serial links. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level clamping diode placed between TX/RX lines and ground or VCC rail. Use Value: 2 pF capacitance avoids signal edge degradation; 4 ns trr prevents data corruption at 115.2 kbps baud rates. | Use Scenario: Limiting differential voltage swing on twisted-pair PHY interfaces to prevent receiver saturation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor in MDI/MDI-X signal paths. Use Value: 75 V VRWM accommodates common-mode surges; low leakage (<20 nA @ 75 V) maintains DC bias integrity. |
| Plated-Wire Memory Drivers | Thin-Film Memory Sense Circuits |
Use Scenario: Driving fast current pulses into plated-wire memory cores for read/write operations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed flyback path for magnetic core reset current. Use Value: 4 ns trr allows clean current reversal within sub-100 ns timing windows required for core switching. | Use Scenario: Amplifying small voltage differentials from thin-film memory cells during sense amplification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance signal path isolation diode in front-end analog chain. Use Value: 2 pF CJ avoids loading sensitive sense nodes; <20 nA IR preserves microvolt-level signal fidelity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4448-1 | Same VRWM (75 V), same trr (4 ns), but 4 pF CJ vs. 2 pF for 1N4449/TR. | Suitable where 2 pF advantage is non-critical; less effective in >20 MHz signal paths. | Select 1N4448-1 only if cost sensitivity outweighs capacitance-driven signal integrity requirements. |
| BAS16-TR | Lower VRWM (80 V), faster trr (4 ns typ.), 1.5 pF CJ, SOT-23 package - surface-mount only. | Requires PCB redesign; not drop-in compatible due to package and lead form factor. | Choose BAS16-TR for space-constrained designs needing improved high-frequency response, accepting re-layout effort. |
Compared with 1N4448-1 and BAS16-TR, the 1N4449/TR uniquely balances ultra-low 2 pF capacitance, through-hole DO-35 reliability, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening readiness - making it optimal for legacy industrial and defense data interface upgrades where layout change is prohibited.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse recovery time specified for the 1N4449/TR?
The 1N4449/TR has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 4 ns when tested at 10 mA. This value is measured under standardized conditions per JESD282-B and reflects its capability to switch rapidly in high-frequency signal paths without introducing timing skew or overshoot. The 4 ns trr makes the 1N4449/TR suitable for applications up to approximately 100 MHz, including RS-232 and Ethernet 10 Base-T interfaces.
Does the 1N4449/TR meet RoHS compliance requirements?
Yes, the 1N4449/TR is available in RoHS-compliant versions marked with the "e3" suffix per part nomenclature. These variants use matte-tin over copper-clad steel leads and conform to EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Non-RoHS versions (blank suffix) remain available for legacy or high-reliability programs requiring tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750.
What is the junction capacitance of the 1N4449/TR and why does it matter?
The 1N4449/TR exhibits 2 pF junction capacitance at 0 V reverse bias - the lowest in its 1N4446–1N4449 series. This ultra-low capacitance minimizes signal loading on high-speed data lines, preserving edge rate and reducing crosstalk in applications like RS-232 receivers and Ethernet PHY interfaces. Lower CJ directly improves bandwidth and noise immunity in fast-switching signal paths.
Can the 1N4449/TR be used in place of the 1N4148 diode?
The 1N4449/TR shares identical electrical ratings (75 V VRWM, 4 ns trr, 200 mA IO) with the 1N4148 but offers lower junction capacitance (2 pF vs. 4 pF). While functionally interchangeable in many circuits, the 1N4449/TR provides superior high-frequency performance. However, substitution requires verification of mechanical fit - both use DO-35, but marking and screening options differ.
Is MIL-PRF-19500 screening available for the 1N4449/TR?
Yes, MIL-PRF-19500 screening is available for the 1N4449/TR via specific part number variants (e.g., MQ/ MX/ MV prefixes). Screening includes temperature cycling, steady-state life test, and lot traceability per Class H or K requirements. This makes the 1N4449/TR suitable for aerospace and defense applications where reliability validation is mandatory.
