Product details
Overview
1N6074US from Microsemi is an ultrafast recovery surface-mount glass power rectifier diode rated for 100 V working peak reverse voltage, 3.0 A average forward current at TEC = 70°C, and 30 ns reverse recovery time. It features voidless hermetic glass sealing with Category I metallurgical bond, triple-layer passivation, and is designed for high-reliability military and aerospace power conversion where failure tolerance is critical.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6074US datasheet, 1N6074US pinout, 1N6074US application, or 1N6074US equivalent, this diode delivers verified ultrafast switching (30 ns trr), low thermal resistance (13°C/W), controlled avalanche capability, and MIL-PRF-19500 screening options - key selection criteria for ruggedized SMPS, avionics DC/DC stages, and radiation-hardened systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional power rectifier in hard-switched topologies, leveraging its 30 ns reverse recovery time to minimize switching losses and reduce EMI generation during turn-off. Its 100 V VRWM rating and 35 A peak surge current support transient-heavy inputs in regulated DC supplies.
The voidless hermetic glass package with tungsten slugs and copper end caps ensures stable junction temperature operation from –65°C to +155°C, while the 13°C/W thermal resistance enables reliable 3.0 A continuous conduction at 70°C case temperature without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 100 V - Maximum sustained reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in DC bus or output rectification. |
| IF(AV) @ TEC = 70°C | 3.0 A - Continuous forward current capability with heatsinking via case; sets minimum trace width and thermal pad design. |
| trr | 30 ns - Measured under IF = 0.5 A, IRM = 1.0 A, IR(REC) = 0.25 A; enables >300 kHz switching in SMPS without excessive loss. |
| VF @ IF = 9.4 A | 2.04 V - Forward voltage at pulsed test current; determines conduction loss and thermal rise during surge events. |
| RθJEC | 13°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; confirms direct mounting to metal-core PCB or heatsink is sufficient for full-rated current. |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 35 A - Non-repetitive surge rating; supports inrush current handling in offline AC/DC front-ends. |
| IR @ VRWM | 1.0 μA - Reverse leakage at rated voltage and 25°C; ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N6074US?
The 1N6074US has a specified junction temperature range of –65°C to +155°C. This wide operating envelope allows deployment in extreme environments such as aircraft bays, satellite payloads, and armored vehicle electronics. The 1N6074US maintains parameter stability across this full range when mounted with appropriate thermal interface to its case, and its voidless glass construction prevents delamination or moisture ingress at temperature extremes.
Does the 1N6074US support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, the 1N6074US can be screened to MIL-PRF-19500/503 specifications using prefix modifiers: MQ (JAN), MX (JANTX), MV (JANTXV), or SP (JANS). These variants undergo rigorous environmental, electrical, and mechanical testing including burn-in, thermal shock, and life testing. The base 1N6074US is not automatically screened; ordering requires the appropriate prefix and compliance documentation request.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) test condition for the 1N6074US?
The 1N6074US reverse recovery time of 30 ns is measured under standardized conditions: forward test current IF = 0.5 A, reverse peak current IRM = 1.0 A, and reverse recovery current decay point IR(REC) = 0.25 A. These conditions reflect real-world switching behavior in high-frequency converters and are repeatable across production lots. The 1N6074US maintains this trr value across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 1N6074US available in tape-and-reel packaging?
Yes, the 1N6074US is supplied in EIA-481-B compliant tape-and-reel format as standard. Reel quantities support automated SMT placement, and the voidless glass body is compatible with standard reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The cathode band orientation is consistent across reels, enabling vision-based alignment during pick-and-place operations.
How does the 1N6074US compare to the 1N6073US and 1N6075US in terms of electrical specs?
The 1N6074US shares identical forward voltage (2.04 V), reverse recovery time (30 ns), thermal resistance (13°C/W), and surge rating (35 A) with the 1N6073US and 1N6075US. Its sole distinguishing specification is VRWM: 100 V (versus 50 V for 1N6073US and 150 V for 1N6075US). All three use Package A (D-5A), same pinout, and identical hermetic construction - enabling drop-in replacement where voltage margin permits.
