Product details
Overview
1N4532UR from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded silicon switching diode in a DO-34 glass package, rated for 50 V DC reverse voltage, 125 mA operating current, and 4.0 ns reverse recovery time (TRR), used in high-reliability timing, pulse shaping, and sample-and-hold circuits in aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4532UR datasheet, 1N4532UR pinout, 1N4532UR application, or 1N4532UR equivalent, key selection criteria include TRR ≤ 4.0 ns, VRWM = 50 V, VF ≤ 1.0 V at 10 mA, hermetic DO-34 packaging, and operation across –55°C to +175°C.
Technical Context
This diode employs double-plug construction and metallurgical bonding to achieve low junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL ≤ 250°C/W) and fast transient response. Its TRR of ≤ 4.0 ns at IF = IR = 10 mA and IRec = 1 mA supports high-speed switching in precision analog sampling paths.
The device meets MIL-PRF-19500/144 Class JANTXV requirements, with specified capacitance ≤ 2.0 pF at 0 V and forward recovery time (TFR) ≤ 30 ns at IF = 100 mA - enabling use in RF detector and high-frequency clamp circuits where low parasitic capacitance and rapid turn-on are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| TRR | ≤ 4.0 ns - ensures minimal tail current during turn-off in >10 MHz switching applications |
| VF @ 10 mA | ≤ 1.0 V - low forward drop preserves signal integrity in low-voltage analog sampling networks |
| CJ @ 0 V | ≤ 2.0 pF - enables stable operation in 500+ MHz RF detector and mixer bias networks |
| RθJL | ≤ 250°C/W - supports reliable power dissipation up to 500 mW in compact hermetic layouts |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +175°C - qualified for engine bay, avionics, and downhole electronics without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4531UR | VRWM = 30 V; TRR ≤ 4.0 ns; same DO-34 package and JANTXV screening | Limited to lower-voltage sample-and-hold and clamp circuits (≤30 V rails) | Select when system reverse voltage is ≤30 V and cost sensitivity outweighs 50 V margin |
| 1N5711 | VRWM = 70 V; TRR ≤ 5.0 ns; plastic DO-41 package; commercial-grade only | Not screened to MIL-PRF-19500; unsuitable for flight or extended-temp deployments | Use only in non-mission-critical industrial controls where hermeticity and temperature range are not required |
Compared with 1N4532UR, the 1N4531UR offers identical speed and reliability at reduced voltage rating, while the 1N5711 trades hermeticity and military screening for higher VRWM and lower cost - making 1N4532UR the sole choice for high-temp, high-reliability analog switching where parameter stability and environmental immunity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the 1N4532UR?
The 1N4532UR has a DC reverse voltage (VRWM) rating of 50 V. This value is specified at 25°C ambient and represents the maximum continuous voltage the diode can block in reverse bias without exceeding rated leakage current. Operation above this voltage risks irreversible breakdown, especially outside the –55°C to +175°C qualified temperature range.
Does the 1N4532UR meet military specifications?
Yes, the 1N4532UR is manufactured and tested to MIL-PRF-19500/144 Class JANTXV requirements. It undergoes full screening including temperature cycling, hermeticity testing, and electrical verification across –55°C to +175°C, confirming compliance for use in defense and spaceflight hardware where reliability is non-negotiable.
What is the reverse recovery time (TRR) of the 1N4532UR and how is it measured?
The 1N4532UR has a maximum reverse recovery time (TRR) of 4.0 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = IR = 10 mA, IRec = 1 mA, and ambient temperature at 25°C. This parameter reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear the junction after forward conduction, directly impacting switching fidelity in high-frequency sampling circuits.
Can the 1N4532UR be used in RF detector applications?
Yes, the 1N4532UR is well-suited for RF detector applications due to its low junction capacitance (≤2.0 pF at 0 V) and fast switching characteristics. Its hermetic DO-34 package and metallurgical bonding minimize parasitic effects, enabling accurate envelope detection up to 500 MHz in telemetry and seeker receiver front-ends where signal integrity is critical.
What is the thermal resistance specification for the 1N4532UR and how does it affect layout design?
The 1N4532UR has a maximum junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 250°C/W at L = 0.375″. This value assumes standard lead length and soldering conditions; designers must maintain adequate copper pour and avoid excessive trace length on anode/cathode connections to prevent localized heating that could exceed the 500 mW total power dissipation limit.
