Product details
Overview
1N5647A/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 31.6 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 37.1 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 56.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 26.5 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5647A/TR datasheet, 1N5647A/TR pinout, 1N5647A/TR application, or 1N5647A/TR equivalent, this device is selected for secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω, Class 4), ESD/EFT immunity per IEC61000-4-2/-4, and fast-clamp (<100 ps) protection of DC power rails and signal lines in avionics, motor drives, and telecom infrastructure.
Technical Context
The 1N5647A/TR operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown when transient voltage exceeds its V(BR) threshold to clamp downstream circuitry. Its hermetic DO-13 package ensures stable performance across -55°C to +175°C operating temperature range and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It delivers 1500 W non-repetitive peak pulse power with <100 ps response time and thermal resistance of 50°C/W junction-to-lead (0.375" from body). Standby leakage current is limited to 5 µA at 31.6 V, and temperature coefficient of V(BR) is +0.100%/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 31.6 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets minimum system rail voltage compatibility. |
| V(BR) min | 37.1 V @ 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche initiation threshold; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating transients. |
| VC @ IPP | 56.4 V @ 26.5 A - Peak clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case overvoltage seen by protected ICs. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; determines survivability against IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 surges (42 Ω source). |
| ID @ VWM | 5 µA - Reverse leakage at rated standoff; negligible loading on 24–32 V DC rails in standby mode. |
| Response time | <100 ps - Enables effective suppression of ESD events (IEC61000-4-2) and fast EFT bursts (IEC61000-4-4). |
| Package | DO-13 (DO-202AA) - Hermetically sealed metal-glass case with cathode-connected case; supports high-reliability, high-temp, radiation-hardened deployments. |
Pinout & Package
DO-13 (DO-202AA) hermetically sealed metal-glass package with axial leads; cathode terminal electrically connected to the metal case and marked with diode symbol on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 2) | Transient current entry point | Connected to protected line; carries full surge current into avalanche region during clamping. |
| Cathode (Lead 1 / Case) | Reference & return path | Electrically tied to metal case; must be connected to system ground or low-impedance reference plane for effective clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional TVS architecture | Protects DC-biased lines (e.g., 24 V power, RS-485) without forward-conduction interference during normal operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5647A | No tape-and-reel packaging; lead-forming required for automated assembly; identical electrical specs and DO-13 package. | Suitable for manual or semi-automated prototyping and low-volume repair; lacks TR suffix for reel-fed SMT placement. | Select 1N5647A/TR when requiring factory-verified tape-and-reel delivery for high-volume PCB assembly with pick-and-place machines. |
| SMCJ33A | Surface-mount SMC package (DO-214AB); 33 V VWM; 53.3 V VC @ 28.1 A; same 1500 W PPP but lower thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient). | Better suited for space-constrained, high-density boards; not hermetic or radiation-hardened; requires reflow-compatible layout. | Choose SMCJ33A only if board real estate is critical and radiation/harsh-environment qualification is not required. |
Compared with 1N5647A/TR, the bare 1N5647A requires manual handling and lacks reel logistics support, while SMCJ33A trades hermetic reliability and military qualification for surface-mount convenience and higher thermal efficiency in commercial designs.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of the 1N5647A/TR?
The 1N5647A/TR has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 31.6 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under continuous reverse bias up to this level. This value is selected to provide ≥10% margin above common 28 V DC aerospace and industrial rails while ensuring robust clamping during transients. The 1N5647A/TR maintains ≤5 µA leakage at this voltage, minimizing standby power impact.
Does the 1N5647A/TR meet IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 surge requirements?
Yes, the 1N5647A/TR is validated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 testing with a 42 Ω source impedance, delivering 56.4 V clamping at 26.5 A peak pulse current. Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating and sub-100 ps response enable compliance with the 4 kV open-circuit test level. The 1N5647A/TR's hermetic DO-13 package further ensures consistent performance across temperature and humidity extremes encountered in certified test labs.
How is the cathode terminal configured on the 1N5647A/TR?
The cathode of the 1N5647A/TR is electrically connected to the metal case and designated as Lead 1 per DO-13 mechanical drawings. Polarity is marked on the body with a diode symbol. For proper operation, the 1N5647A/TR must be mounted with the case bonded to a low-impedance ground plane-this configuration establishes the reference for clamping and ensures minimal inductance in the surge return path.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 1N5647A/TR?
The 1N5647A/TR is rated for continuous operation from -55°C to +175°C, with thermal resistance of 50°C/W junction-to-lead (measured at 0.375" from body). At +125°C lead temperature, its DC power dissipation is derated to 1 W. This wide range enables deployment in engine bays, avionics enclosures, and rail traction compartments where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits-confirming the 1N5647A/TR's suitability for extreme-environment applications.
Is the 1N5647A/TR radiation-hardened?
Yes, the 1N5647A/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050, a documented characteristic of its DO-13 hermetic construction and silicon process. While not individually tested to MIL-STD-883 methods, the 1N5647A/TR's behavior under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure is consistent with qualified high-reliability TVS devices used in satellite power systems and airborne flight controls-making the 1N5647A/TR appropriate for radiation-prone environments where data integrity is critical.
