Product details
Overview
1N5645A/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. It features a 29.7 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 26.8 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), and clamps transients to ≤47.7 V at 31.5 A peak pulse current (IPP) under 10/1000 µs waveform - delivering 1500 W peak pulse power for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection in avionics and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5645A/TR datasheet, 1N5645A/TR pinout, 1N5645A/TR application, or 1N5645A/TR equivalent, this device serves as a military-grade, through-hole TVS with verified 100 ps response time, hermetic DO-13 packaging, and JAN/JANTXV qualification eligibility - critical for designs requiring radiation hardness, extended temperature operation (–55°C to +175°C), and stable clamping performance across surge repetition rates ≤0.01%.
Technical Context
The 1N5645A/TR operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its 29.7–36.3 V VBR range at 1 mA test current. Its clamping action limits transient-induced voltage to 47.7 V maximum at 31.5 A, enabling robust protection of downstream circuitry without latch-up or thermal runaway.
Designed for low-inductance, high-power pulse handling, it leverages a welded metal-glass DO-13 package with cathode-to-case polarity and tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750. Thermal resistance is 50°C/W junction-to-lead (0.375" from body), supporting reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions when mounted with appropriate copper land patterns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 26.8 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA; sets upper limit for protected line DC bias. |
| VBR @ IBR | 29.7–36.3 V @ 1 mA - Breakdown voltage window defining turn-on threshold; ensures consistent avalanche initiation across temperature and unit variance. |
| VC @ IPP | 47.7 V @ 31.5 A - Maximum clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected ICs or sensors. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power rating at TL = 25°C; defines single-event energy-handling capability without degradation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5645A (bulk) | Identical electrical specs and DO-13 package; differs only in packaging format (bulk vs. tape-and-reel). | No functional difference; bulk version lacks EIA-296 tape/reel compliance and automated placement support. | Select 1N5645A/TR when using pick-and-place assembly; choose bulk 1N5645A for manual prototyping or low-volume repair. |
| SMCJ28A | Surface-mount SMC package; 28 V VWM, 43.5 V VC @ 34.5 A; same 1500 W rating but lower thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient). | Requires PCB redesign for SMD footprint; unsuitable for through-hole legacy boards or high-vibration mechanical retention needs. | Choose SMCJ28A only when board space is constrained and reflow soldering is available; retain 1N5645A/TR for mechanical robustness and hermetic reliability. |
Compared with 1N5645A/TR, the bulk 1N5645A offers identical protection performance but no tape-and-reel automation compatibility, while SMCJ28A trades hermetic sealing and vibration resistance for smaller footprint and higher thermal efficiency - making 1N5645A/TR the optimal choice for mission-critical through-hole deployments.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the 1N5645A/TR?
The 1N5645A/TR has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 26.8 V, meaning it remains nonconductive under continuous reverse bias up to this level while drawing ≤5 µA standby current. This value is selected to match nominal 24 V DC systems with margin for ripple and tolerance, ensuring reliable protection without false triggering during normal operation.
Does the 1N5645A/TR meet IEC 61000-4-5 for secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the 1N5645A/TR is validated for Class 4 secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 with 2 Ω source impedance, supporting peak pulse currents up to 31.5 A. Its 1500 W rating and sub-100 ps response ensure effective clamping of 4 kV surge waveforms commonly encountered in industrial and transportation infrastructure.
Is the 1N5645A/TR hermetically sealed, and why does that matter?
Yes, the 1N5645A/TR uses a welded DO-13 metal-glass hermetic package. This eliminates moisture permeation and internal corrosion - critical for long-term reliability in high-humidity, high-temperature, or vacuum environments such as avionics bays and downhole tools where plastic-packaged TVS devices degrade unpredictably.
Can the 1N5645A/TR be used for ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2?
Yes, the 1N5645A/TR clamps transients in less than 100 picoseconds and handles ±15 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2. Its low dynamic impedance and fast response make it suitable for protecting sensitive inputs like RS-422 receivers, ADC references, and microcontroller GPIOs in ruggedized equipment.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 1N5645A/TR?
The 1N5645A/TR operates from –55°C to +175°C, with derated power dissipation above +125°C. This full military-grade temperature range enables deployment in engine compartments, turbine control cabinets, and oilfield downhole tools where conventional TVS diodes fail due to thermal stress or parameter shift.
