Product details
Overview
JAN1N3612/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified standard recovery axial-lead glass rectifier diode rated for 400 V working peak reverse voltage, 1.0 A average forward current at 100°C, and 30 A surge current; it features voidless hermetic glass packaging with Category I metallurgical bond and is used in high-reliability power supply rectification, snubber circuits, and DC-DC converter catch diodes.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N3612/TR datasheet, JAN1N3612/TR pinout, JAN1N3612/TR application, or JAN1N3612/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/228 qualification, -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range, 1.1 V max forward voltage at 1 A, 300 μA max reverse leakage at 400 V, and robust axial-glass mechanical construction for radiation-hardened and mission-critical systems.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional current-conducting device with controlled avalanche capability and low thermal resistance (38°C/W junction-to-lead). Its standard recovery time supports line-frequency and moderate-switching applications where fast switching is not required but ruggedness and reliability are paramount.
The device uses tungsten slugs and Sn/Pb-plated copper axial leads within a voidless hard-glass case, enabling stable performance under thermal cycling, mechanical shock, and ionizing radiation-verified per MicroNote 050. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the glass body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 400 V - maximum continuous reverse-bias voltage before breakdown under full temperature range |
| Min Breakdown Voltage | 480 V @ 100 μA - ensures margin above VRWM for reliable blocking in transient overvoltage conditions |
| Avg Forward Current | 1.0 A @ TA = 100°C - usable DC conduction capacity with linear derating to 0.3 A at 150°C |
| Max Forward Voltage | 1.1 V @ 1 A pulsed - defines conduction loss and thermal dissipation during normal operation |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 300 μA @ VRWM = 400 V - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current | 30 A @ 8.3 ms half-sine - withstands inrush and fault currents without failure |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - enables deployment in aerospace, downhole, and military environmental extremes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N3612US | Same electrical specs; MELF surface-mount package instead of axial glass | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; no lead-forming or through-hole footprint | Select when automated placement and board space constraints outweigh manual assembly needs |
| 1N5616JANTXV | Higher VRWM (600 V), same 1 A IO, but faster recovery (1.5 μs vs standard ~2–5 μs) | Better suited for higher-frequency switching; less suitable for pure line-frequency rectification | Select when system requires both higher voltage margin and reduced reverse recovery loss |
Compared with JAN1N3612/TR, JAN1N3612US offers identical electrical behavior in a compact MELF format ideal for space-constrained boards, while 1N5616JANTXV trades standard recovery for faster switching and higher voltage rating-making it appropriate for upgraded designs needing improved dynamic performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum working peak reverse voltage for JAN1N3612/TR?
The JAN1N3612/TR has a specified working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 400 V, meaning it can reliably block up to 400 V of reverse-bias voltage across its full operational temperature range (-65°C to +175°C) without breakdown. This value is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/228 and appears in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0190 Rev. 1. The minimum breakdown voltage is 480 V at 100 μA, providing a 20% safety margin above VRWM.
Is JAN1N3612/TR suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, JAN1N3612/TR is an axial-lead through-hole device in a hermetically sealed glass package and is not compatible with standard SMT reflow processes. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the JAN1N3612US variant-a MELF-packaged version with identical electrical ratings. The TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated insertion, not SMT compatibility.
Does JAN1N3612/TR have radiation-hardened characteristics?
Yes, JAN1N3612/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness due to its hermetic glass construction and silicon die process, validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050. It is qualified for total ionizing dose (TID) environments typical of space and nuclear applications, making it suitable for use in spacecraft power systems and radiation-intensive industrial monitoring without additional shielding or derating.
What is the thermal resistance of JAN1N3612/TR?
The thermal resistance (junction-to-lead) of JAN1N3612/TR is 38°C/W when measured at a 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body. This value reflects efficient heat conduction through the tungsten slugs and copper leads, allowing the device to dissipate power without external heatsinking in many high-reliability applications-especially when operated within its derated current limits at elevated ambient temperatures.
How does JAN1N3612/TR differ from commercial-grade 1N3612?
JAN1N3612/TR is the military-qualified version of the 1N3612, fully compliant with MIL-PRF-19500/228, including 100% screening, lot traceability, extended temperature validation (-65°C to +175°C), and hermeticity testing. Commercial 1N3612 lacks these requirements, uses different packaging, and is not tested for radiation hardness or long-term reliability under extreme environmental stress.
