Product details
Overview
1N5187US/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount fast recovery glass rectifier diode rated for 200 V working peak reverse voltage, 3.0 A average forward current at 25°C, and 80 A forward surge current (8.3 ms), used in high-reliability power conversion circuits such as catch diodes and half-bridge outputs in aerospace and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5187US/TR datasheet, 1N5187US/TR pinout, 1N5187US/TR application, or 1N5187US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless hermetically sealed glass package (Package E / D-5B), Category I metallurgical bond, 150 ns reverse recovery time, and -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional power rectifier with controlled avalanche capability and low thermal resistance (10°C/W junction-to-end-cap). Its triple-layer passivation and tungsten slug construction support stable performance under thermal cycling and radiation exposure per MicroNote 050.
The 1N5187US/TR delivers fast recovery (trr = 150 ns) while maintaining low forward voltage (VF = 1.5 V @ 9 A pulsed) and low leakage (IR = 100 µA @ 200 V), enabling efficient switching in DC-DC converters and snubberless flyback topologies where reliability outweighs cost sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 200 V - Maximum continuous reverse bias before breakdown in operating temperature range. |
| Min Breakdown Voltage (VBR @ 50 µA) | 240 V - Ensures margin against transient overvoltage without conduction. |
| Forward Voltage (VF @ 9 A pulsed) | 1.5 V - Limits conduction loss and self-heating during high-current pulses. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 150 ns - Enables use in 100–500 kHz switching power supplies with minimal switching loss. |
| Avg Rectified Current (IO) | 3.0 A @ 25°C / 0.7 A @ 150°C - Defines thermal derating envelope for PCB layout and heatsinking. |
| Forward Surge Current (IFSM) | 80 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands inrush and fault currents without metallurgical failure. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - Supports operation in extreme environments including space-grade and downhole systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard glass (Package E / D-5B), with copper end caps (Sn/Pb finish), cathode band marking, and 539 mg mass. Thermal resistance is 10°C/W junction-to-end-cap.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive input terminal | Connected to source of forward current; must handle 80 A surge without bond wire lift-off. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-3EY20 | 200 V VRWM, 3 A IO, but plastic SMC package (not hermetic); trr = 250 ns. | Lacks radiation hardness and military screening options; unsuitable for space or nuclear environments. | Select only for commercial-grade, cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical designs. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR320 | 200 V VRWM, 3 A IO, ultrafast trr = 75 ns, but epoxy package and no Category I bond. | Better switching speed but lower thermal robustness and no guaranteed avalanche rating. | Prefer for higher-frequency SMPS where surge immunity is secondary to efficiency. |
Compared with VS-3EY20 and MUR320, the 1N5187US/TR provides uniquely validated hermeticity, radiation tolerance, and controlled avalanche-making it irreplaceable in safety-critical, high-temperature, or space-constrained military and aerospace rectification roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N5187US/TR?
The 1N5187US/TR has a specified junction and storage temperature range of -65°C to +175°C. This wide range enables operation in extreme environments such as downhole oilfield tools and avionics enclosures without external cooling. The 1N5187US/TR achieves this via tungsten slug construction and voidless glass sealing, which minimize thermal impedance and prevent internal delamination at high temperatures.
Does the 1N5187US/TR have a controlled avalanche rating?
Yes, the 1N5187US/TR features a controlled avalanche capability with defined peak reverse power capability. This allows it to safely clamp inductive voltage spikes-such as those from IGBT freewheeling paths-without destructive failure. The 1N5187US/TR's Category I metallurgical bond and triple-layer passivation ensure consistent avalanche behavior across temperature and lifetime, unlike standard plastic-packaged alternatives.
Is the 1N5187US/TR suitable for space applications?
Yes, the 1N5187US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and uses a voidless hermetic glass package with zero outgassing-critical for low-earth orbit missions. Its -65°C to +175°C rating, Sn/Pb terminations, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening options (e.g., MV1N5187US) make the 1N5187US/TR suitable for satellite power regulation and payload electronics where TID tolerance and long-term reliability are mandatory.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the 1N5187US/TR and how does it affect switching performance?
The 1N5187US/TR has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns, measured under standard conditions. This enables efficient operation in switching power supplies up to ~500 kHz, minimizing switching losses and EMI generation. The 1N5187US/TR achieves this speed while retaining high surge robustness-unlike ultrafast diodes that sacrifice IFSM for lower trr-making it ideal for ruggedized flyback and forward converters.
How does the voidless hermetic glass package of the 1N5187US/TR improve reliability compared to plastic SMD diodes?
The voidless hermetic glass package of the 1N5187US/TR eliminates moisture ingress, internal voids, and organic outgassing-preventing corrosion, parameter shift, and latent failures under thermal cycling or long-term storage. Unlike plastic-packaged diodes (e.g., SMC or DO-214AB), the 1N5187US/TR maintains stable VF, IR, and trr over decades, fulfilling MIL-PRF-19500 requirements for high-reliability programs where field return is unacceptable.
