Product details
Overview
1N5657/TR from Microchip Technology is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in a hermetically sealed DO-13 metal package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs, with 81.0 V standoff voltage (VWM), 90 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 144 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 10.4 A peak pulse current - used for secondary lightning protection in avionics and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5657/TR datasheet, 1N5657/TR pinout, 1N5657/TR application, or 1N5657/TR equivalent, this device delivers sub-100 ps response time, radiation-hardened performance per MicroNote 050, and IEC 61000-4-2/-4-4/-4-5 compliance for ESD, EFT, and low-impedance surge environments.
Technical Context
The 1N5657/TR operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown above its 90 V minimum V(BR) to clamp transients while maintaining <5 µA standby current at 81.0 V VWM. Its DO-13 package provides 50 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and supports soldering up to 260 °C for 10 s.
It is specified for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C, with a temperature coefficient of 0.106 %/°C for V(BR), and delivers 1500 W non-repetitive peak pulse power under JEDEC-standard 10/1000 µs waveform conditions at 25 °C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 81.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before avalanche onset; sets system-level DC bias margin. |
| V(BR) min | 90 V @ 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation threshold; ensures predictable clamping onset. |
| VC @ IPP | 144 V @ 10.4 A - maximum clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case voltage stress on protected circuitry. |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability; enables robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Class 1–4 surges. |
| Response time | <100 ps - near-instantaneous avalanche turn-on; critical for ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and fast EFT (IEC 61000-4-4) suppression. |
| Package | DO-13 (DO-202AA) - hermetic metal-glass construction; provides radiation hardness and high-reliability mechanical integrity. |
| Operating temp | –55 °C to +175 °C - wide junction temperature range suitable for aerospace, military, and under-hood automotive use. |
Pinout & Package
DO-13 (DO-202AA) hermetically sealed metal-glass package with axial leads; cathode connected to case and marked by diode symbol on body; weight ≈1.4 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 2) | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected internally to semiconductor die anode region | Must be tied to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path) in unidirectional TVS configuration. |
| Cathode (Lead 1 / Case) | Current exit terminal in forward bias; electrically bonded to metal case | Case serves as cathode terminal - requires direct PCB mounting to grounded copper pour for optimal thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional TVS architecture | Clamps only reverse transients above VWM; preserves forward-biased signal integrity in DC-coupled lines. |
| Hermetic DO-13 metal package | Enables operation at +175 °C and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 - validated for avionics and space-qualified subsystems. |
| 1500 W peak pulse power | Sustains IEC 61000-4-5 surge events up to 42 Ω source impedance (Class 1) without degradation or failure. |
| Sub-100 ps response | Prevents ESD-induced latch-up or gate oxide damage in sensitive CMOS interfaces before protection can activate. |
| TR tape-and-reel packaging | Enables automated through-hole insertion; complies with EIA-296 standard for volume manufacturing traceability. |
Applications
| Aerospace Avionics Power Bus Protection | Industrial PLC Input/Output Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5657A/TR | Higher V(BR) tolerance: 90–99 V vs. 90–105 V for 1N5657/TR; tighter ±5% breakdown spec. | Preferred for precision clamping where consistent V(BR) across temperature is required (e.g., calibration-critical test equipment). | Select 1N5657A/TR when design requires guaranteed V(BR) ≤99 V at 1 mA and tighter parametric control. |
| SMCJ85A | Surface-mount SMC package; same VWM (85 V) and VC (144 V), but lower 1000 W PPP rating and plastic encapsulation. | Suitable for high-density PCBs but lacks radiation hardness and extended temperature capability of DO-13 metal package. | Choose SMCJ85A only for commercial-grade, space-constrained designs where hermeticity and >+150 °C operation are not required. |
Compared with 1N5657A/TR and SMCJ85A, the 1N5657/TR offers the broadest V(BR) range (90–105 V), full military-temperature support (–55 °C to +175 °C), and hermetic reliability - making it the sole choice for avionics, defense, and high-reliability industrial deployments requiring long-term stability under thermal and radiation stress.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) specification for the 1N5657/TR?
The 1N5657/TR has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 81.0 V, meaning it remains nonconductive under continuous reverse bias up to this level. This value is selected to exceed typical 28 V or 48 V system operating voltages while providing sufficient margin before avalanche onset at 90 V minimum breakdown. The 1N5657/TR datasheet confirms VWM is guaranteed across –55 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Does the 1N5657/TR meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity standards?
Yes, the 1N5657/TR is validated for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning surge protection across multiple classes: Class 1 (42 Ω source) up to 1N5658A, Class 2 (12 Ω) up to 1N5651A, and Class 2 (2 Ω) up to 1N5642A. Its 1500 W peak pulse power and 144 V clamping voltage at 10.4 A ensure compliance when properly mounted with low-inductance grounding - as documented in Microchip's T4-LDS-0096 Rev. 3 datasheet.
Is the 1N5657/TR suitable for high-temperature environments like engine control units?
Yes, the 1N5657/TR is rated for continuous operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with thermal resistance of 50 °C/W junction-to-lead. Its hermetic DO-13 metal package maintains parameter stability and seal integrity under sustained thermal cycling - making it appropriate for under-hood automotive ECUs, turbine controller power supplies, and other high-temperature industrial applications where plastic-packaged alternatives fail.
How does the TR suffix affect the 1N5657/TR packaging and handling?
The "TR" suffix on 1N5657/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated through-hole insertion in high-volume manufacturing. Unlike bulk or ammo-pack variants, the 1N5657/TR arrives in moisture-barrier sealed reels with standardized carrier tape pitch and component orientation - supporting traceability, humidity control, and SMT-line compatibility for hybrid assembly processes.
What is the clamping behavior of the 1N5657/TR during an ESD event per IEC 61000-4-2?
The 1N5657/TR clamps ESD transients in less than 100 picoseconds, limiting peak voltage to ≤144 V at 10.4 A (10/1000 µs). While IEC 61000-4-2 specifies 8 kV contact discharge, the 1N5657/TR's fast response and low dynamic impedance ensure effective protection of downstream CMOS inputs - as confirmed by Microchip's application guidance in MicroNote 050 and T4-LDS-0096 testing data.
