Product details
Overview
1N6077US from Microsemi is an ultrafast recovery surface-mount glass power rectifier diode rated for 100 V working peak reverse voltage, 6.0 A average forward current at TEC = 70°C, and 30 ns reverse recovery time. It features voidless hermetic glass packaging with Category I metallurgical bonds and is used in high-reliability switching power supplies requiring low forward loss and robust surge handling.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6077US datasheet, 1N6077US pinout, 1N6077US application, or 1N6077US equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VRWM rating, 1.76 V forward voltage at 18.8 A pulsed test current, 75 A peak surge capability, and E-MELF (D-5B) package suitability for military-grade thermal and radiation-hardened designs.
Technical Context
The 1N6077US operates as a unidirectional power rectifier with controlled avalanche capability and low thermal resistance (8.5°C/W). Its ultrafast 30 ns trr enables efficient high-frequency switching in DC-DC converters and SMPS topologies where fast turn-off minimizes switching losses.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on thermally demanding PCBs, it uses tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, supporting solder reflow up to 260°C for 10 s. The device maintains stable operation across –65°C to +155°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 100 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before breakdown under operating temperature range |
| IF(AV) @ TEC=70°C | 6.0 A - Sustained DC output current capability with external heatsinking at case temperature |
| VF @ 18.8 A | 1.76 V - Forward conduction loss at pulsed test condition, directly impacting efficiency in high-current pulses |
| trr | 30 ns - Time to recover blocking state after forward conduction, critical for >100 kHz switching |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 75 A - Non-repetitive surge current handling, enabling robustness against line transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6076US | Same package and trr, but rated for 50 V VRWM instead of 100 V | Lower voltage headroom limits use in 48 V telecom or industrial SMPS with tighter input ranges | Select only when system max reverse voltage ≤50 V and higher VRWM margin is unnecessary |
| 1N6078US | Same package and trr, but rated for 150 V VRWM and identical 6.0 A IO | Enables use in 100–120 VAC-fed supplies with higher safety margins and transient tolerance | Choose when design requires ≥120 V reverse standoff or compliance with MIL-STD-461 CS115 |
Compared with 1N6076US and 1N6078US, the 1N6077US provides optimal balance of 100 V VRWM headroom and 6.0 A output capacity in the E-MELF package-making it the preferred choice for 24–48 V output, 100 V input SMPS in defense platforms where both voltage margin and thermal performance are constrained.

Manufacturer
Microsemi (now part of Microchip Technology) is a U.S.-based semiconductor company specializing in high-reliability analog and mixed-signal components for aerospace, defense, and industrial markets.
The 1N6073US–1N6081US series was developed to meet MIL-PRF-19500 Class H/K requirements for ultrafast rectification in mission-critical power systems where hermeticity, radiation tolerance, and surge resilience are non-negotiable.
FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N6077US?
The 1N6077US has a specified junction temperature range of –65°C to +155°C. This wide operating envelope supports deployment in uncontrolled environments such as aircraft bays, satellite payload compartments, and tracked vehicle engine compartments. The 1N6077US maintains electrical integrity across this full range when mounted per recommended pad layout and thermal interface guidelines.
Does the 1N6077US have a cathode band marking?
Yes, the 1N6077US uses a visible cathode band on the glass body to indicate polarity. This band aligns with industry-standard MELF orientation conventions and must be verified during automated optical inspection (AOI) prior to reflow. The 1N6077US cathode band placement is consistent across all E-MELF devices in the 1N6076US–1N6078US group.
Is the 1N6077US compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
The 1N6077US is qualified for Sn/Pb finish and rated for 260°C for 10 seconds-compatible with standard leaded reflow. While not officially qualified for Pb-free processes, its glass-metal hermetic seal and tungsten slug construction tolerate peak temperatures up to 260°C. For Pb-free assembly, Microsemi recommends validation per J-STD-020 and thermal profiling per the 1N6077US-specific reflow guide.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the 1N6077US?
The 1N6077US has a maximum reverse recovery time of 30 ns, measured at IF = 0.5 A, IRM = 1.0 A, and IR(REC) = 0.25 A. This value is guaranteed across the full –65°C to +155°C junction temperature range and enables efficient operation in switching power supplies operating above 200 kHz. The 1N6077US trr remains stable due to its controlled carrier lifetime design.
Can the 1N6077US be substituted with an axial-lead version?
No direct axial-lead substitution exists for the 1N6077US because the "US" suffix denotes surface-mount E-MELF packaging. Axial equivalents (e.g., 1N6077) use different mechanical construction, thermal paths, and screening standards. Substitution would require PCB redesign, thermal analysis, and requalification per MIL-PRF-19500-so the 1N6077US must be used as specified in surface-mount designs.
