Product details
Overview
1N4500E3/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded switching diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 75 V reverse voltage, 0.5 A surge current (1 s sine), and operating up to +175°C ambient. It delivers fast 6.0 ns turn-off time with low 0.56 V forward voltage at 250 mA, suited for high-reliability military timing and pulse conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4500E3/TR datasheet, 1N4500E3/TR pinout, 1N4500E3/TR application, or 1N4500E3/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/403 qualification, hermetic DO-35 packaging, 100 nA max leakage at 75 V, thermal resistance of 70°C/W, and double-plug construction for mechanical robustness.
Technical Context
This diode employs metallurgical bonding and double-plug construction to ensure stable junction integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical stress. Its hermetic glass seal meets MIL-PRF-19500/403 Class JANTX requirements, supporting operation from –65°C to +175°C with 4 A surge capability at 1 μs.
Electrical behavior is defined by tight VF tolerances (0.47–0.56 V at 250 mA), controlled VBR (min 80 V at 100 μA IR), and low 4.0 pF capacitance at 0 V - enabling predictable switching in RF and pulse-shaping applications where parasitic effects must be minimized.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4501E3/TR | Higher VR = 100 V; same DO-35 package and MIL-PRF-19500/403 JANTX qualification | Used where higher reverse standoff is required, e.g., 48 V telecom surge protection | Select 1N4501E3/TR only if system requires >75 V blocking; otherwise 1N4500E3/TR offers tighter VF spec |
| 1N4148WS-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-323 package; commercial-grade (not MIL-qualified); VR = 100 V, trr = 4 ns | Targeted at cost-sensitive, high-volume consumer and industrial PCBs with reflow assembly | Choose 1N4148WS-7-F for non-military designs needing smaller footprint and faster trr, but not for hermetic or screened applications |
Compared with 1N4501E3/TR and 1N4148WS-7-F, the 1N4500E3/TR uniquely balances MIL-qualified reliability, hermetic DO-35 packaging, and optimized VF/trr trade-off for mission-critical pulse and timing functions where environmental resilience is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the 1N4500E3/TR?
The 1N4500E3/TR has a maximum DC reverse voltage (VR) rating of 75 V at +25°C ambient. This rating is derated linearly above 25°C per the datasheet's thermal specification. The 1N4500E3/TR maintains this blocking capability while operating across its full –65°C to +175°C junction temperature range, making it suitable for high-temperature downhole and avionics applications where voltage margin must remain stable.
Is the 1N4500E3/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/403?
Yes, the 1N4500E3/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/403 at the JANTX level, including full screening, lot traceability, and environmental testing per military standards. This qualification is documented in Microsemi's LDS-0154 Rev. 1 datasheet and confirms the 1N4500E3/TR's suitability for use in defense, space, and other high-assurance programs requiring certified component pedigree.
What does the "E3/TR" suffix indicate for the 1N4500E3/TR?
The "E3" denotes Microsemi's standard hermetic DO-35 package with tin/lead lead finish and banded cathode marking. "TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging - specifically, 2,000 units per reel - facilitating automated placement in high-reliability manufacturing. The 1N4500E3/TR combines this packaging format with full MIL-PRF-19500/403 JANTX screening, distinguishing it from commercial variants.
What is the typical forward voltage drop of the 1N4500E3/TR at 250 mA?
The 1N4500E3/TR exhibits a forward voltage (VF) of 0.47 V minimum and 0.56 V maximum at IF = 250 mA and +25°C ambient. This tightly bounded VF ensures consistent conduction loss in precision switching paths. The 1N4500E3/TR's metallurgical bonding contributes to this stability, minimizing variation across temperature and lifetime compared to epoxy-bonded alternatives.
Does the 1N4500E3/TR have a specified junction capacitance value?
Yes, the 1N4500E3/TR has a maximum junction capacitance (Cj) of 4.0 pF measured at 0 V reverse bias and +25°C. This low capacitance supports minimal signal loading in high-frequency applications such as RF detection and fast pulse shaping. The 1N4500E3/TR's hermetic DO-35 construction helps maintain this capacitance stability across temperature and humidity, unlike plastic-packaged diodes.
