Product details
Overview
1N482B from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a high-conductance, general-purpose silicon rectifier diode in a DO-35 glass package, rated for 30 V PIV, 0.2 A average forward current, 1.0 V forward voltage at 0.1 A, 0.025 µA max leakage at 25 °C, and operation up to +200 °C junction temperature - used in power supply rectification and signal steering circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N482B datasheet, 1N482B pinout, 1N482B application, or 1N482B equivalent, key selection factors include its 30 V peak inverse voltage rating, 0.2 A average rectified current capability, low 1.0 V VF at 0.1 A, hermetic DO-35 glass package, and full-temperature-range reliability without derating.
Technical Context
The 1N482B is a standard PN-junction silicon rectifier optimized for high-temperature stability and low-leakage performance. Its DO-35 glass encapsulation provides hermetic sealing, enabling operation from –65 °C to +200 °C with no thermal fatigue or humidity-induced degradation.
It delivers 0.2 A average forward current at 25 °C ambient with 250 mW max power dissipation, and exhibits only 0.025 µA reverse leakage at 25 °C and 5 µA at 150 °C - confirming robust thermal matching and stable conduction across industrial and aerospace environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PIV | 30 V - maximum reverse voltage before breakdown; suitable for low-voltage DC power supply inputs and clamping. |
| IAV | 0.2 A - continuous forward current handling at 25 °C ambient; supports compact rectifier stages in space-constrained designs. |
| VF @ 0.1 A | 1.0 V - forward drop at nominal operating current; enables predictable power loss calculation and thermal design. |
| IR @ 25 °C | 0.025 µA - ultra-low reverse leakage ensures minimal standby current in battery-backed or precision bias circuits. |
| Tj Range | –65 to +200 °C - full-rated operation without derating; validated for under-hood automotive, downhole, and military applications. |
| Pdiss | 250 mW - maximum steady-state power dissipation; defines thermal interface requirements for PCB copper area or heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package: cylindrical glass body (1.0 mm diameter × 3.05–5.08 mm length), with tinned copper alloy leads (0.458–0.558 mm diameter). Hermetically sealed, humidity-proof construction with Sigma Bond™ plated contacts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connects to higher-potential node in rectifier or steering path; polarity must be observed to avoid reverse conduction. |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit point | Marked by band on glass body; connects to lower-potential node; determines direction of current flow and clamping polarity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic DO-35 glass package | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift; eliminates need for conformal coating in humid or corrosive environments. |
| –65 to +200 °C junction range | Enables use in uncooled engine compartments, avionics bays, and industrial ovens without thermal derating or reliability penalties. |
| Sigma Bond™ plated leads | Guarantees solderability per J-STD-002/003; supports lead-free reflow profiles including high-temp IR soldering on ceramic substrates. |
| 0.025 µA IR @ 25 °C | Minimizes reverse-bias power loss in precision reference or sample-hold circuits where leakage affects accuracy. |
Applications
| Power Supply Rectification | Signal Clipping & Limiting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converting AC line or transformer output to DC in low-power linear supplies for instrumentation and control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current valve performing half-wave or full-wave rectification with minimal forward loss. Use Value: Stable 1.0 V VF and 0.2 A IAV enable predictable efficiency and thermal rise in enclosed enclosures without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Protecting ADC inputs or op-amp rails from overvoltage transients in sensor front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamp limiting signal swing to ±0.7 V beyond rail using forward conduction. Use Value: Low 0.025 µA leakage preserves input impedance integrity; DO-35 size allows placement directly at connector or IC pin. |
| High-Temperature Embedded Control | Harsh-Environment Signal Steering |
Use Scenario: Providing isolated logic-level translation in turbine controller PCBs exposed to sustained 150 °C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Diode-ORing or level-shifting element routing control signals between hot and cold zones. Use Value: Validated 5 µA IR at 150 °C ensures reliable switching margin and avoids false triggering in safety-critical paths. | Use Scenario: Routing analog sensor outputs across isolation barriers in oilfield downhole tools. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional ESD protection and signal path selector in multiplexed sensor arrays. Use Value: Hermetic glass package withstands high-pressure, high-H2S environments where plastic packages fail prematurely. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148 | Lower PIV (100 V), higher VF (1.25 V @ 10 mA), smaller IAV (150 mA), same DO-35 package | Better for high-speed switching (>4 ns trr); less suited for continuous 0.2 A rectification | Select 1N4148 only when fast recovery (<4 ns) is required over sustained current handling. |
| 1N4001 | Higher PIV (50 V), higher IAV (1.0 A), larger DO-41 package, VF = 1.1 V @ 1 A | Designed for higher-power AC/DC adapters; requires more PCB area and different mounting tooling | Choose 1N4001 when >0.2 A average current or >30 V PIV headroom is needed; not a direct footprint replacement. |
Compared with 1N4148 and 1N4001, the 1N482B uniquely balances low-leakage, high-temperature operation, and DO-35 form factor - making it optimal for space-limited, thermally aggressive rectification where reliability outweighs speed or raw current capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N482B?
The 1N482B has a specified junction temperature range of –65 °C to +200 °C, with full electrical performance guaranteed across this entire span and no required derating. This makes the 1N482B suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole oil/gas, and aerospace applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
Does the 1N482B have a hermetic package?
Yes, the 1N482B uses a DO-35 glass axial package that is fully hermetic and humidity-proof. The glass-to-metal seal prevents moisture ingress and ensures long-term parameter stability - a critical advantage over plastic-packaged diodes in high-humidity or corrosive environments where the 1N482B is deployed.
What is the forward voltage drop of the 1N482B at 0.1 A?
The 1N482B exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 0.1 A and 25 °C, as confirmed in the manufacturer's published characteristics table. This value remains stable across temperature, supporting accurate power loss modeling in thermal-sensitive designs using the 1N482B.
Can the 1N482B be used in surface-mount assembly processes?
Although the 1N482B is an axial-lead DO-35 device, it is fully compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment and supports both tin-lead and lead-free IR reflow soldering - including on ceramic substrates. Its Sigma Bond™ plated leads guarantee solderability per J-STD-002/003, enabling reliable through-hole or modified SMT-style assembly of the 1N482B.
How does the 1N482B compare to the 1N483B in terms of PIV rating?
The 1N482B has a peak inverse voltage (PIV) rating of 30 V, while the 1N483B is rated for 60 V PIV. Both share identical forward characteristics (0.2 A IAV, 1.0 V VF @ 0.1 A, same DO-35 package), so the 1N482B is selected when system reverse voltage stress stays below 30 V - allowing tighter voltage margining and cost optimization without sacrificing thermal or reliability performance of the 1N482B.
