Product details
Overview
1N5632A/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 and industrial systems. It features a 7.37 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 8.19 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 1 mA, 13.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 112 A peak pulse current, and 1500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5632A/TR datasheet, 1N5632A/TR pinout, 1N5632A/TR application, or 1N5632A/TR equivalent, this device serves as a military-grade, through-hole TVS solution for secondary lightning protection (IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 with 42 Ω source), ESD/EFT immunity (IEC61000-4-2/-4), and inductive switching transient suppression in avionics power rails and ruggedized control interfaces.
Technical Context
The 1N5632A/TR operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, clamping transients within <100 ps by entering controlled reverse breakdown above its VWM. Its DO-13 metal-glass package provides hermetic sealing and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, supporting operation from –55°C to +175°C.
It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power at TL = 25°C with 10/1000 µs waveform, and maintains stable clamping performance across temperature due to a +0.068%/°C breakdown voltage temperature coefficient. The cathode is internally connected to the case, enabling direct chassis grounding for low-inductance transient shunting.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Aerospace Power Distribution | Industrial Motor Drive Controls |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 28 V DC aircraft bus feeders against load dump and inductive kickback from solenoid actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed between bus rail and chassis ground to shunt transients before they reach upstream regulators and flight computers. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤13.4 V during 112 A surges, preventing latch-up or damage to MIL-STD-704-compliant power management ICs. |
Use Scenario: Surge suppression on gate drive signal lines feeding IGBTs in variable-frequency motor drives subject to EFT noise and commutation spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS placed at controller output to absorb sub-100 ns EFT bursts per IEC61000-4-4 Level 4. Use Value: Sub-100 ps response ensures clamping occurs before gate oxide breakdown thresholds are exceeded on sensitive driver ICs. |
| Avionics Data Bus Interfaces | Ruggedized Railway Signaling |
Use Scenario: Secondary lightning protection on ARINC 429 receive inputs exposed to induced RF coupling from nearby radar transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-clamp TVS installed inline with differential receiver inputs to limit common-mode surge energy entering the interface IC. Use Value: 7.37 V VWM matches typical ARINC 429 logic thresholds, while 13.4 V VC prevents saturation of input comparators during 42 Ω IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 events. |
Use Scenario: Transient protection on 72 V DC signaling circuits in train control systems subjected to traction current switching surges and track-induced lightning coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Through-hole TVS mounted directly at connector entry point to divert surge current to chassis before entering PCB-level isolation barriers. Use Value: DO-13 metal package withstands mechanical shock and thermal cycling per EN 50155, ensuring long-term integrity in rolling stock environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5632A | No tape-and-reel packaging; lead-forming required for automated assembly | Suitable for manual or semi-automated insertion where reel-fed placement is not needed | Select 1N5632A/TR when using pick-and-place machines; choose 1N5632A for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| SMBJ7.5A | Surface-mount SMB package; 7.5 V VWM; 1000 W PPP; 12.5 V VC @ 84.5 A | Limited to lower-energy transients; not hermetically sealed or radiation-hardened | Choose SMBJ7.5A only for commercial-grade, space-constrained PCBs where DO-13 mounting is impractical and radiation tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5632A/TR, the 1N5632A lacks tape-and-reel convenience but offers identical electrical specs, while SMBJ7.5A trades hermeticity, radiation hardness, and 50% higher pulse power for surface-mount compatibility-making it unsuitable for avionics or harsh-environment deployments requiring MIL-qualified reliability.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) specification for the 1N5632A/TR?
The 1N5632A/TR has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 7.37 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under continuous reverse bias up to this voltage level. This value is selected to match nominal 28 V DC aircraft bus systems while providing sufficient margin above normal operating peaks. The VWM is guaranteed per JEDEC test conditions at TA = 25°C and is critical for ensuring the 1N5632A/TR does not conduct during steady-state operation.
How does the 1N5632A/TR achieve its <100 ps response time?
The 1N5632A/TR achieves sub-100 ps response via its optimized silicon junction design and low-parasitic DO-13 metal-glass package, which minimizes junction capacitance and lead inductance. Unlike slower MOVs or polymer-based protectors, the 1N5632A/TR relies on avalanche breakdown physics-triggering inherently fast conduction once V(BR) is exceeded. This enables effective suppression of ESD events per IEC61000-4-2 and nanosecond-scale EFT bursts without delay.
Is the 1N5632A/TR suitable for IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning testing?
Yes, the 1N5632A/TR is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection up to Class 4 with 42 Ω source impedance, as confirmed in the manufacturer's technical data sheet. Its 1500 W peak pulse power and 13.4 V clamping voltage at 112 A ensure compliant performance when deployed with appropriate PCB layout-particularly with short, low-inductance paths from protected line to chassis ground via the cathode-connected case.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in 1N5632A/TR?
The "TR" suffix in 1N5632A/TR denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated surface-mount or through-hole placement equipment compatibility. This version includes standardized carrier tape, cover tape, and reel dimensions-distinct from the bulk or ammo-pack versions of 1N5632A. The "TR" does not alter electrical specifications; all performance parameters remain identical to the base 1N5632A part.
Can the 1N5632A/TR be used in radiation-intensive environments like spacecraft?
Yes, the 1N5632A/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, validated for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience and single-event effect (SEE) immunity. Its hermetic DO-13 metal-glass construction eliminates moisture ingress and outgassing risks, making it suitable for satellite power conditioning, launch vehicle telemetry, and other space-grade applications where commercial TVS diodes would degrade or fail prematurely.
