Product details
Overview
1N5811URS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified ultrafast recovery glass rectifier diode in URS (one square + one round end cap) MELF package, rated for 150 V working peak reverse voltage, 6.0 A average rectified output current at 75 °C, and 30 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a high-reliability power conversion switch in radiation-hardened aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5811URS/TR datasheet, 1N5811URS/TR pinout, 1N5811URS/TR application, or 1N5811URS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its void-less hermetic glass construction, Category 1 metallurgical bond, JANTXV qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/477, and 125 A surge current capability under standardized 8.3 ms pulse conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional silicon power rectifier with controlled avalanche capability and low thermal resistance (6.5 °C/W junction-to-end-cap). Its ultrafast 30 ns trr enables efficient operation in high-frequency switching topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The URS package features tungsten slugs and tin/lead terminations, with cathode polarity indicated by a blue band. It achieves 60 pF junction capacitance at 10 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, supporting stable high-speed transient response in DC-DC converter snubber networks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5811US | Same die, US package (two square end caps); RθJEC = 6.5 °C/W identical; same electrical specs | Surface-mount footprint differs: US uses symmetric pads; URS requires asymmetric pad layout per Figure 5 | Select US for standard MELF reflow compatibility; choose URS when legacy board layout or mechanical retention favors mixed-end-cap geometry |
| VS-6EWH06FN-M3 | 600 V VRWM, 6 A IO1, but trr = 35 ns; TO-277A package; no MIL-spec qualification | Not suitable for space or JANTXV programs; intended for industrial SMPS with higher voltage margin needs | Use only in non-military commercial designs where 600 V standoff and lead-free compliance outweigh radiation hardness and qualification traceability |
Compared with 1N5811US and VS-6EWH06FN-M3, the 1N5811URS/TR uniquely combines JANTXV-level reliability, 150 V VRWM optimized for 270 V DC systems, and asymmetric URS packaging for mechanical stability in high-vibration launch environments-making it irreplaceable in certified aerospace rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum working peak reverse voltage rating for the 1N5811URS/TR?
The 1N5811URS/TR has a VRWM of 150 V, meaning it can sustain up to 150 volts of reverse bias continuously across its full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C without breakdown. This rating is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/477 test conditions and applies to both JAN and JANTXV reliability levels of the 1N5811URS/TR.
Is the 1N5811URS/TR RoHS compliant?
The 1N5811URS/TR is available in RoHS-compliant versions only for commercial-grade units (marked with "e3" suffix), while military-grade variants (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS) retain Sn/Pb terminations to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability and reliability requirements. The 1N5811URS/TR datasheet specifies matte tin plating over nickel over copper for RoHS-compliant lots.
How does the URS package differ mechanically from the US package in the 1N5811 series?
The URS package of the 1N5811URS/TR features one square end cap and one round end cap, whereas the US variant uses two square end caps. This asymmetry in the 1N5811URS/TR improves mechanical retention on PCBs subject to high-g vibration and enables distinct orientation-dependent mounting per Microsemi Package Drawing T4-LDS-0168-1, Page 5.
What is the reverse recovery time specification for the 1N5811URS/TR, and under what test conditions is it measured?
The 1N5811URS/TR has a maximum reverse recovery time (trr) of 30 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = 1.0 A forward current, IRM = 1.0 A peak reverse current, IR(REC) = 0.10 A recovery threshold current, and di/dt ≥ 100 A/µs. These parameters are defined in Note 2 of the Electrical Characteristics table on Page 2 of the 1N5811URS/TR datasheet.
Does the 1N5811URS/TR support controlled avalanche operation, and how is this reflected in its design?
Yes, the 1N5811URS/TR supports controlled avalanche operation, evidenced by its specified peak reverse power capability and inclusion in Microsemi MicroNote 050 on inherent radiation hardness. This feature allows the 1N5811URS/TR to safely clamp inductive energy transients without parametric shift or catastrophic failure-critical in high-reliability power converters where snubberless design is required.
