Product details
Overview
1N5629A/TR from Microchip Technology is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in a hermetically sealed DO-13 metal package, designed for high-reliability surge protection in aerospace, avionics, and industrial systems. It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs, clamps transients below 10.5 V at 143 A, and operates across –55°C to +175°C with a 5.80 V rated standoff voltage (VWM).
For engineers reviewing the 1N5629A/TR datasheet, 1N5629A/TR pinout, 1N5629A/TR application, or 1N5629A/TR equivalent, this device is selected for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD, IEC 61000-4-4 EFT, and secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 (42 Ω, 12 Ω, and 2 Ω source impedances), especially where radiation hardness and hermetic sealing are mandatory.
Technical Context
The 1N5629A/TR operates as a unidirectional avalanche-clamping TVS diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 6.45–7.14 V breakdown range (IBR = 10 mA). Its response time is under 100 ps, enabling protection against fast-rising ESD and switching transients without latency-induced failure.
It features a cathode-connected-to-case polarity configuration, requires no bias circuitry, and relies on thermal conduction through leads (50°C/W junction-to-lead) rather than PCB copper for heat dissipation-making it suitable for high-temperature lead-soldered mounting in constrained environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Standoff Voltage) | 5.80 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before avalanche onset; ensures non-conductive state during normal system operation. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage) | 6.45–7.14 V @ 10 mA - Confirmed avalanche initiation threshold; defines minimum overvoltage level that triggers clamping action. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage) | 10.5 V @ 143 A - Peak voltage seen across terminals during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected downstream circuitry. |
| PPP (Peak Pulse Power) | 1500 W - Sustained energy absorption capability for single transient events; enables robust protection against inductive switch-off spikes and lightning surges. |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +175°C - Full operational temperature envelope; supports deployment in engine bays, avionics bays, and downhole electronics without derating. |
| Package | DO-13 (DO-202AA) - Hermetically sealed metal-glass case with tin-lead plating; provides moisture immunity, radiation hardness, and mechanical ruggedness for military/aerospace use. |
Pinout & Package
DO-13 (DO-202AA) hermetically sealed metal-glass package with axial leads; cathode terminal electrically connected to the case and marked by a diode symbol on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 2) | Transient current entry point during reverse surge | Connected internally to P-region; carries full IPP surge current into the junction during clamping. |
| Cathode (Lead 1 / Case) | Reference and return path | Electrically tied to metal case; must be connected to system ground plane or chassis for effective low-impedance surge shunting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic DO-13 metal package | Prevents moisture ingress and outgassing in vacuum/high-humidity environments; certified for MIL-PRF-19500/500 JANTXV qualification. |
| <100 ps response time | Enables sub-nanosecond reaction to ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2), preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in sensitive CMOS interfaces. |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Handles high-energy transients from relay coil collapse or motor commutation without degradation-verified per 10/1000 µs waveform. |
| Radiation-hardened design | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) per MicroNote 050; validated for space-qualified avionics and nuclear instrumentation. |
| TR tape-and-reel packaging | Enables automated placement in high-reliability manufacturing; conforms to EIA-296 standard for consistent feed and orientation control. |
Applications
| Aerospace Avionics Bus Protection | Industrial Motor Drive Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5629A (bulk) | No TR suffix; supplied in bulk packaging instead of tape-and-reel. | Lacks EIA-296 compliance; unsuitable for automated SMT assembly lines requiring reel-fed placement. | Select 1N5629A/TR only when automated pick-and-place integration and traceable reel lot control are required. |
| SMCJ5.0A | Surface-mount SMC package; 5.0 V VWM; 1500 W rating; 9.2 V VC @ 163 A. | Lower profile and smaller footprint; optimized for PCB space-constrained designs but lacks hermetic seal and radiation hardness. | Choose SMCJ5.0A for commercial industrial boards where DO-13 mechanical robustness and TID tolerance are not mandated. |
Compared with 1N5629A/TR, the bulk 1N5629A sacrifices automation compatibility for lower handling cost, while SMCJ5.0A trades hermetic reliability and radiation tolerance for surface-mount scalability-making 1N5629A/TR the sole choice for mission-critical through-hole deployments demanding MIL-qualified ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) specification for the 1N5629A/TR?
The 1N5629A/TR has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 5.80 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under continuous reverse bias up to this level. This value is selected to exceed typical 5 V logic rail voltages while providing margin against ripple and tolerance drift-ensuring reliable clamping only during actual transients.
Does the 1N5629A/TR meet military qualification standards?
Yes, the 1N5629A/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/500 as a JANTXV-grade device when ordered with the JANTXV prefix (e.g., JANTXV1N5629A/TR). Its hermetic DO-13 package, radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, and extended temperature range validate its use in DoD and NASA programs.
How does the 1N5629A/TR compare to plastic-packaged TVS diodes like the 1N6267 series?
The 1N5629A/TR uses a hermetically sealed metal-glass DO-13 package, offering superior moisture resistance, thermal conductivity, and radiation tolerance versus plastic axial-leaded alternatives such as the 1N6267 series. This makes the 1N5629A/TR appropriate for vacuum, high-humidity, or high-TID environments where plastic packages risk delamination or parameter shift.
What is the maximum clamping voltage (VC) of the 1N5629A/TR under surge conditions?
The 1N5629A/TR exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 10.5 V when subjected to its rated 143 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
Can the 1N5629A/TR be used for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 1N5629A/TR is strictly unidirectional. Its cathode is tied to the case and marked externally, permitting conduction only in reverse-bias avalanche mode. For bidirectional protection in the same DO-13 footprint, Microchip specifies the separate 1N6036–1N6072A series-not the 1N5629A/TR.
