Product details
Overview
1N646UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed silicon rectifier diode in a glass package, rated for 300 V DC reverse voltage, 400 mA forward current at +25°C, and 500 mW total power dissipation, used in high-reliability power conversion stages of aerospace and downhole instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N646UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N646UR-1/TR pinout, 1N646UR-1/TR application, or 1N646UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range, metallurgically bonded construction, 20 pF junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias, and tin/lead-plated copper-clad steel leads for solderability and thermal cycling robustness.
Technical Context
This device is a single-junction, planar-passivated, axial-leaded silicon rectifier optimized for high-temperature and high-reliability environments. Its double-plug construction ensures mechanical stability under thermal shock, while the hermetic glass seal prevents moisture ingress and maintains long-term parameter stability.
The 1N646UR-1/TR exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.00 V at 400 mA and 25°C, with leakage current limited to 0.050 µA at 300 V DC reverse bias and 25°C - enabling low-loss, low-noise operation in precision DC power rails where leakage-sensitive circuits are present.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DC Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 300 V - supports input rectification in 240 VAC-derived supplies with safety margin. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 400 mA at +25°C - suitable for medium-power signal and bias supply rectification. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.00 V max at 400 mA - limits conduction loss to ≤400 mW in continuous operation. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.050 µA max at 300 V - critical for low-current hold-up and sensor bias integrity. |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 20 pF max at VR = 4 V - enables use in low-frequency (<1 MHz) switching and filtering applications. |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - qualified for downhole, avionics, and military-grade thermal environments. |
| Surge Current (IFSM) | 5.0 A (8.3 ms sine) - withstands inrush during cold-start of regulated DC supplies. |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed glass axial package with cathode band marking; leads are copper-clad steel with tin/lead finish. Polarity: banded end is cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Positive input terminal | Connects to AC source or transformer secondary; must handle full surge current. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Negative output terminal | Delivers rectified DC to filter capacitor; polarity marking ensures correct PCB orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass seal | Prevents parametric drift due to humidity exposure over 20+ year deployments. |
| Metallurgical bonding | Eliminates interfacial delamination under repeated thermal cycling between -65°C and +175°C. |
| Double plug construction | Secures internal die assembly against mechanical vibration up to 20 g RMS in flight systems. |
| Blue body / black digit marking | Enables visual traceability and automated optical inspection (AOI) in high-reliability assembly lines. |
| Tin/lead lead finish | Ensures reliable solder wetting on legacy HASL and ENIG PCB finishes without rework risk. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar silicon rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N646-1 | No /TR suffix; bulk packaging instead of tape-and-reel; identical electrical specs and package. | Same functional role but requires manual loading in SMT or hand-soldered prototyping. | Select 1N646-1 only when tape-and-reel automation is not required and cost-per-unit is prioritized. |
| 1N4007GP | Plastic DO-41 package; 1000 V VRWM; higher VF (1.1 V); wider IR range (5 µA max). | Not rated for >125°C operation; unsuitable for downhole or avionics thermal profiles. | Choose 1N4007GP only for commercial-grade 120 VAC input supplies where cost and volume outweigh reliability requirements. |
Compared with 1N646-1 and 1N4007GP, the 1N646UR-1/TR uniquely combines hermetic reliability, 300 V rating, and tape-and-reel delivery - making it the sole option qualified for high-temperature, high-integrity rectification where leakage, surge tolerance, and automated assembly are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the 1N646UR-1/TR?
The 1N646UR-1/TR has a maximum junction temperature of +175°C and a minimum of -65°C. This rating is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/417 and applies across its full derated current envelope - including 150 mA at +150°C ambient. The 1N646UR-1/TR achieves this via hermetic glass sealing and metallurgical die attachment, not plastic encapsulation.
Is the 1N646UR-1/TR RoHS-compliant?
No, the 1N646UR-1/TR uses a tin/lead lead finish and is exempt from RoHS under Annex III Category 7(b) for high-reliability applications. Its lead content is intentional for solder joint reliability under thermal cycling. The 1N646UR-1/TR is not intended for consumer electronics subject to standard RoHS enforcement.
What does the "UR" suffix indicate in 1N646UR-1/TR?
The "UR" suffix in 1N646UR-1/TR denotes Microsemi's Ultra-Reliability qualification level, which includes 100% burn-in, lot traceability, and extended environmental stress screening beyond standard JANTXV requirements. It distinguishes the 1N646UR-1/TR from commercial-grade variants like 1N646-1.
Can the 1N646UR-1/TR replace the 1N4007 in high-temperature designs?
No - the 1N646UR-1/TR is not a drop-in replacement for the 1N4007. While both are silicon rectifiers, the 1N4007 is rated only to +125°C, uses a plastic DO-41 package, and has significantly higher leakage (5 µA vs. 0.05 µA). The 1N646UR-1/TR requires different thermal design and layout due to its glass package and axial lead geometry.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N646UR-1/TR and how is it tested?
The 1N646UR-1/TR has a peak non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 5.0 A, tested per JEDEC JESD201 using an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform at 25°C ambient. This rating reflects its ability to survive cold-start inrush into capacitive loads without junction failure - verified across 100% of production lots during qualification.
