Product details
Overview
1N4454UR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded switching diode in DO-213AA glass package, rated for 50V reverse voltage, 200mA operating current, and 4.0A surge current, with 4.0ns reverse recovery time - used in high-reliability military timing, pulse shaping, and sample-and-hold circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4454UR datasheet, 1N4454UR pinout, 1N4454UR application, or 1N4454UR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/144 qualification, -55°C to +175°C operating range, 2.0pF junction capacitance, and 100°C/W thermal resistance - critical for radiation-tolerant and high-temperature analog signal paths.
Technical Context
This diode employs double-plug construction and copper-clad steel leads with tin/lead finish to ensure mechanical robustness and solderability under MIL-spec reflow profiles. Its metallurgical bond and hermetic glass seal eliminate moisture ingress and enable stable operation across extreme thermal cycling.
The 1N4454UR delivers fast switching performance with TRR ≤ 4.0ns at IF = IR = 10mA and IRec = 1mA, and low forward voltage (VF ≤ 1.0V at 10mA, 25°C), supporting precision clamping and high-speed demodulation in analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 50V - defines maximum DC blocking capability before breakdown in clamp or protection circuits |
| Forward Current (IF) | 200mA at TA = +25°C - continuous conduction limit before thermal derating begins |
| Reverse Recovery Time (TRR) | ≤ 4.0ns - enables use in >100MHz pulse applications without tail current distortion |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | ≤ 2.0pF at 0V - minimizes signal loading in RF detector and sampling gate designs |
| Operating Temperature Range | -55°C to +175°C - supports deployment in engine control units and downhole instrumentation |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | ≤ 100°C/W - determines junction-to-case temperature rise under 500mW dissipation |
| Surge Current (1µs sine) | 4.0A - withstands transient overloads in radar pulse modulators and ignition drivers |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4454UR-1 (JANTXV) | Same die and package; subjected to extended screening per MIL-PRF-19500/144 Class V | Required for space-grade and Class S programs with zero defect tolerance | Select when full MIL-STD-883 testing and lot traceability are mandated |
| LL4454 | Plastic-molded SOD-323 package; no hermetic seal; TRR ≤ 5.0ns; VRWM = 50V | Suitable for commercial industrial controls but not qualified for military temperature or reliability screening | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-military applications where 175°C operation is not required |
Compared with 1N4454UR, the JANTXV variant adds rigorous burn-in and parameter verification for mission-critical systems, while LL4454 trades hermeticity and temperature range for surface-mount compatibility and lower unit cost - neither is pin-compatible due to differing axial vs. SMD form factors.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the 1N4454UR?
The 1N4454UR has a DC reverse voltage (VRWM) rating of 50V. This value is specified at 25°C ambient and represents the maximum continuous voltage the device can block in reverse bias without entering breakdown. Exceeding this rating risks irreversible junction damage, especially under transient conditions where the 4.0A surge current limit also applies. The 1N4454UR maintains this rating across its full -55°C to +175°C operating range.
Is the 1N4454UR suitable for high-temperature automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the 1N4454UR is rated for operation from -55°C to +175°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control unit bias networks and transmission sensor interfaces. Its hermetic glass package and metallurgical bond ensure parameter stability and long-term reliability where plastic-packaged alternatives would degrade. The 1N4454UR's 100°C/W thermal resistance must be accounted for in PCB layout to avoid exceeding junction temperature limits at full 200mA load.
Does the 1N4454UR have a defined pinout configuration, and how is polarity marked?
Yes, the 1N4454UR uses an axial-leaded DO-213AA package with two terminals: anode and cathode. Polarity is marked by a visible band on the glass body at the cathode end. This band must align with the circuit's designated cathode node during placement. The 1N4454UR's pinout is fixed and non-reversible - incorrect orientation results in unintended forward conduction or open-circuit behavior depending on circuit topology.
How does the 1N4454UR compare to standard 1N4148 diodes in switching performance?
The 1N4454UR offers faster reverse recovery (TRR ≤ 4.0ns vs. 4–8ns for 1N4148) and higher temperature capability (-55°C to +175°C vs. -65°C to +175°C), but with higher forward voltage (≤1.0V at 10mA vs. ≤0.72V for 1N4148). Unlike the commercial 1N4148, the 1N4454UR is MIL-qualified, hermetically sealed, and screened to JANTXV levels - making it appropriate for mission-critical systems where reliability outweighs minor VF trade-offs.
Can the 1N4454UR be used in RF detector applications above 100 MHz?
Yes, the 1N4454UR is suitable for RF detection up to approximately 200 MHz due to its ≤2.0pF junction capacitance and ≤4.0ns reverse recovery time. These parameters minimize capacitive loading and recovery lag, preserving signal envelope integrity in AM demodulation stages. However, optimal performance requires impedance-matched layout and minimal parasitic inductance in the anode/cathode traces. The 1N4454UR's stable parameters across temperature further support consistent detection threshold in wide-range RF receivers.
