Product details
Overview
1N5183E3 from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, voidless-glass high-voltage standard recovery rectifier diode rated for 7500 V working peak reverse voltage, 0.10 A average forward current at 55 °C, and 4 A non-repetitive surge current. It operates from −65 °C to +175 °C and is qualified for military-grade reliability in radar transmitters and X-ray power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5183E3 datasheet, 1N5183E3 pinout, 1N5183E3 application, or 1N5183E3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical ratings, thermal resistance (38 °C/W), RoHS-compliant tin/lead termination, and MIL-PRF-19500/279 qualification context specific to the 1N5183E3 variant.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's S-package high-voltage rectifier family designed for failure-intolerant systems. Its triple-layer passivation and tungsten slug construction deliver low thermal resistance (38 °C/W) and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The 1N5183E3 exhibits 10 V maximum forward voltage at 100 mA, ≤5 µA reverse leakage at 7500 V and 25 °C, and maintains stable breakdown behavior across −65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 7500 V - Maximum sustainable peak reverse voltage across full operating temperature range |
| IO @ 55 °C | 0.10 A - Continuous average forward current capability with 50/60 Hz sine-wave input and 180° conduction |
| VF @ 100 mA | 10 V - Forward voltage drop defining conduction loss and thermal load under rated DC bias |
| IR @ VRWM | ≤5 µA @ 25 °C - Low leakage ensures minimal power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance HV hold-off circuits |
| RθJL | 38 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable power dissipation up to 1.5 W at 25 °C ambient |
| TJ & TSTG | −65 °C to +175 °C - Wide operating/storage range supports deployment in aerospace, defense, and industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5183 | Non-RoHS version; identical electrical specs and package; same VRWM, IO, VF, IR, and thermal resistance | No RoHS compliance; unsuitable for EU-based or environmentally restricted programs | Select 1N5183E3 when RoHS compliance is required; otherwise 1N5183 offers identical performance at lower cost |
| 1N5182E3 | 5000 V VRWM (vs. 7500 V); same 0.10 A IO, 10 V VF, 5 µA IR, and S-package form factor | Limited to ≤5 kV systems; cannot substitute directly in 7.5 kV designs without redesign | Choose 1N5182E3 only if system VRWM requirement is ≤5000 V and RoHS compliance is mandatory |
Compared with 1N5183 and 1N5182E3, the 1N5183E3 uniquely combines 7500 V VRWM, RoHS compliance, and MIL-PRF-19500/279-qualified reliability-making it the sole option for new RoHS-compliant 7.5 kV military or medical HV designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum working peak reverse voltage for the 1N5183E3?
The 1N5183E3 has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 7500 V, validated across its full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. This rating defines the highest repetitive peak reverse voltage the 1N5183E3 can sustain without breakdown under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for 7.5 kV-class power conversion stages.
Is the 1N5183E3 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5183E3 is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "E3" suffix per Microsemi's nomenclature. The "e3" marking confirms matte tin termination meeting EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Non-RoHS versions (e.g., 1N5183) are also available but lack this compliance.
What is the average forward current rating of the 1N5183E3 at 100 °C ambient?
The 1N5183E3 is rated for 0.060 A average rectified forward current (IO) at 100 °C ambient temperature, per the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table. This derating reflects thermal limitations in high-temperature enclosures and must be applied when designing for sustained operation above 55 °C.
Does the 1N5183E3 have military qualification?
No, the 1N5183E3 is a commercial-grade RoHS-compliant variant and does not carry JAN or JANTX qualification. Military qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/279 applies only to the 1N3644–1N3647 series. The 1N5183E3 retains hermetic sealing and radiation hardness but lacks formal military screening.
What package type does the 1N5183E3 use?
The 1N5183E3 uses Microsemi's standardized S-package: a hermetically sealed voidless hard glass case with tungsten slugs, tin/lead or RoHS-compliant matte tin terminals, and cathode polarity marked by a band. Dimensions are BD = 0.065–0.110 in, BL = 0.190–0.215 in, LD = 0.029–0.033 in, and LL = 1.00–1.25 in.
