Product details
Overview
1N5633A/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 9.0 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 8.10 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), and clamps transients to ≤15.0 V at 100 A peak pulse current (IPP), delivering 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs).
For engineers reviewing the 1N5633A/TR datasheet, 1N5633A/TR pinout, 1N5633A/TR application, or 1N5633A/TR equivalent, this device serves as a military-grade, radiation-hardened TVS for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD, IEC 61000-4-4 EFT, and secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 with 2–42 Ω source impedance.
Technical Context
The 1N5633A/TR operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its 9.0–10.5 V VBR range at 1 mA test current. Its response time is under 100 ps, enabling sub-nanosecond clamping during fast transients such as ESD events or inductive switching spikes.
It is rated for continuous operation from –55 °C to +175 °C, with thermal resistance of 50 °C/W junction-to-lead (0.375″ from body). The cathode is internally connected to the metal case, enforcing fixed polarity and requiring correct PCB layout for grounding integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 8.10 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 10 µA; sets system-level DC bias margin. |
| VBR @ IBR | 9.00–10.5 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed breakdown threshold defining turn-on sensitivity for transient suppression. |
| VC @ IPP | 15.0 V @ 100 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports robust protection against MIL-STD-1275B and ISO 7637-2 pulses. |
| IPP | 100 A - Peak surge current capacity at rated clamping voltage; defines survivability under Class 4 IEC 61000-4-5 (2 Ω source). |
| TJ Range | –55 °C to +175 °C - Extended temperature operation enables use in avionics, engine control, and downhole electronics. |
| Package | DO-13 (DO-202AA) - Hermetic metal-glass construction ensures long-term reliability in high-humidity, high-vibration, and radiation environments. |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed DO-13 (DO-202AA) metal package with axial leads: cathode (marked end) electrically bonded to case; anode is lead 2. Polarity indicated by diode symbol marking on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 2) | Input node for protected line | Connected to signal/power line requiring transient suppression; must be routed with low-inductance path to minimize overshoot. |
| Cathode (Lead 1 / Case) | Ground reference terminal | Internally tied to metal case; requires direct low-impedance connection to system ground plane or chassis for effective clamping. |

Use Scenario: Hardening RF receiver antenna ports against ESD and induced RF energy in handheld tactical radios operating in field-deployed environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage protection device shunting fast-rising transients directly to chassis ground via case bond. Use Value: Hermetic DO-13 package prevents parameter drift in high-humidity jungle or maritime deployments where plastic packages degrade. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5633A | No tape-and-reel packaging; bulk format only; identical electrical specs and DO-13 package. | Lacks TR suffix; not optimized for automated SMT placement; requires manual loading or tube feeders. | Select 1N5633A/TR when volume production demands reel-fed pick-and-place compatibility with no change to circuit design or layout. |
| SMBJ8.0A | Surface-mount SMB package; 8.0 V VWM; 12.3 V VC @ 82.1 A; lower 600 W PPP. | Smaller footprint but reduced surge rating and non-hermetic construction; unsuitable for radiation or high-reliability mil-aero use. | Choose SMBJ8.0A only for cost-sensitive commercial designs where DO-13 mechanical robustness and radiation tolerance are not required. |
Compared with 1N5633A/TR, the 1N5633A offers identical protection performance but lacks tape-and-reel convenience, while SMBJ8.0A trades hermetic reliability and 1500 W surge capacity for board-space savings-making 1N5633A/TR the sole choice for mission-critical, high-surge, radiation-exposed applications.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the 1N5633A/TR?
The 1N5633A/TR has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 8.10 V, meaning it remains in high-impedance state below this reverse voltage, with leakage current limited to ≤10 µA. This value ensures compatibility with 5 V–9 V logic-supplied circuits and 24 V industrial buses where nominal operating voltage must stay safely below the clamping threshold. The 1N5633A/TR is selected for systems requiring precise DC margin before avalanche onset.
Does the 1N5633A/TR meet IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning standards?
Yes, the 1N5633A/TR is validated for secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 across multiple source impedances: it supports Class 4 with 2 Ω source (up to 100 A IPP), Class 3 with 42 Ω source (up to 100 A), and all intermediate classes. Its 15.0 V clamping voltage at 100 A ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe operating limits during standardized surge waveforms-confirmed in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0096 Rev. 3 documentation.
Is the 1N5633A/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, the 1N5633A/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, demonstrating stable electrical parameters after exposure to total ionizing dose (TID) levels up to 100 krad(Si). This qualification stems from its hermetic DO-13 metal-glass construction and silicon process controls, making the 1N5633A/TR suitable for satellite power regulation, launch vehicle telemetry, and nuclear instrumentation where single-event effects and cumulative dose tolerance are mandatory.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1N5633A/TR, and how does it affect layout?
The 1N5633A/TR has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 50 °C/W when measured at 0.375 inches (10 mm) from the case body. This value assumes direct metal-to-metal thermal conduction-so PCB layout must connect the cathode (case) to a large copper pour or chassis ground with minimal thermal resistance. Failure to do so risks exceeding the +175 °C max junction temperature during repetitive surges, degrading long-term reliability of the 1N5633A/TR.
How does the "TR" suffix in 1N5633A/TR impact procurement and assembly?
The "TR" suffix in 1N5633A/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated surface-mount or through-hole placement using standard feeder equipment. Unlike bulk or ammo-pack versions, the 1N5633A/TR arrives in moisture-barrier bags with indexed carrier tape, supporting JIT manufacturing, traceability, and reduced handling damage-critical for high-mix aerospace and defense production where the 1N5633A/TR is deployed in safety-critical subsystems.
