DESCRIPTION APPEARANCE
This “fast recovery” rectifier diode series is military qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/429
and is ideal for high-reliability applications where a failure cannot be tolerated.
These industry-recognized 1.0 Amp rated rectifiers for working peak reverse
voltages from 200 to 1000 volts are hermetically sealed with voidless-glass
construction using an internal “Category I” metallurgical bond. These devices are
also available in surface mount MELF package configurations by adding a “US”
suffix (see separate data sheet for 1N5615US thru 1N5623US). Microsemi also
offers numerous other rectifier products to meet higher and lower current ratings
with various recovery time speed requirements including fast and ultrafast device
types in both through-hole a nd surface mount packages.
IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com

NOTE 1: From 1 Amp at TA = 55oC, derate linearly at 5.56 mA/ oC to 0.75 Amp at TA = 100oC. From TA = 100oC,
derate linearly at 7.5 mA/oC to 0 Amps at TA = 200 oC. These ambient ratings are for PC boards where thermal
resistance from mounting point to ambient is sufficiently controll ed where TJ(max) does not exceed 175 oC.
NOTE 2: TA = 100 oC, f = 60 Hz, IO = 750 mA for ten 8.3 ms surges @ 1 minute intervals
NOTE 3: IF = 0.5 A, IRM = 1 A, IR(REC) = 0.250 A
