Product details
Overview
1N5662 from Microchip (formerly Microsemi) is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in a hermetically sealed DO-13 metal package, designed for high-reliability surge protection in aerospace, avionics, and industrial systems. It features a 130 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 144 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 230 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 6.5 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5662 datasheet, 1N5662 pinout, 1N5662 application, or 1N5662 equivalent, this device is selected for secondary lightning protection (IEC61000-4-5), ESD/EFT hardening (IEC61000-4-2/-4-4), and inductive switching transient suppression where sub-100 ps response time, radiation hardness, and military-grade thermal stability (-55°C to +175°C) are critical.
Technical Context
The 1N5662 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its 144–152 V V(BR) range at 1 mA test current. Its clamping action limits transients to ≤230 V while sustaining 6.5 A peak pulse current under standardized 10/1000 µs surge conditions.
Constructed in a DO-13 (DO-202AA) hermetic metal-glass package with cathode connected to case, it delivers 50°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 - enabling use in high-reliability airborne and space-qualified systems without derating penalties up to +175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Standoff Voltage) | 130 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets system DC bus compatibility limit. |
| V(BR) @ I(BR) | 144–152 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on margin above VWM. |
| VC @ IPP | 230 V @ 6.5 A - Maximum clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case protected circuit stress level. |
| PPP (Peak Pulse Power) | 1500 W - Sustained single-pulse energy handling capability; enables robust protection against IEC61000-4-5 Class 1–4 surges. |
| Response Time | <100 ps - Near-instantaneous avalanche initiation; provides effective ESD (IEC61000-4-2) and EFT (IEC61000-4-4) suppression. |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +175°C - Full military-grade temperature range; supports operation in engine bays, avionics bays, and downhole electronics. |
| Junction-to-Lead Rθ | 50°C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to chassis or heatsink via case; critical for high-repetition transient environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5662A | Tighter V(BR) tolerance (144–152 V → 144–152 V min/max unchanged, but tighter statistical spread per MIL-PRF-19500/500 screening). | Required for JANTXV-qualified designs needing guaranteed parametric consistency across temperature and life. | Select 1N5662A when military qualification (JANTXV prefix) and tighter V(BR) distribution are mandated by program spec. |
| SMCJ130A | Surface-mount SMC package; same 130 V VWM but higher VC (219 V) and lower IPP (6.8 A); plastic encapsulation vs. hermetic metal. | Suitable for commercial/industrial PCBs with space constraints but not for radiation-sensitive or long-life hermetic systems. | Choose SMCJ130A only for cost-sensitive, non-military applications where DO-13 through-hole mounting and hermeticity are not required. |
Compared with 1N5662, the 1N5662A offers enhanced screening for mission-critical programs, while SMCJ130A trades hermetic reliability and radiation hardness for board-space savings - making 1N5662 the optimal choice for aerospace, defense, and extended-lifetime industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1N5662 under standard surge conditions?
The 1N5662 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 230 V when subjected to its rated 6.5 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the 10/1000 µs waveform defined in IEC61000-4-5. This value is measured at 25°C ambient and represents the worst-case voltage seen by downstream circuitry during transient suppression - critical for ensuring protected ICs remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the 1N5662 suitable for IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the 1N5662 is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection across multiple classes: Class 1 (42 Ω source) up to 1N5665A, Class 2 (42 Ω) up to 1N5663A, and Class 4 (42 Ω) up to 1N5648A. Its 1500 W peak pulse power and 230 V clamping voltage meet the energy-handling and voltage-limiting requirements for these test levels when implemented with proper PCB layout and grounding.
Does the 1N5662 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5662 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - a technical note validating its performance under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure relevant to avionics and space applications. This characteristic stems from its DO-13 hermetic metal-glass construction and silicon process, requiring no additional qualification testing for typical airborne radiation environments.
What is the thermal resistance specification for the 1N5662?
The 1N5662 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 50°C/W when measured at 0.375 inches (10 mm) from the case body. This low thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to a chassis or heatsink, supporting reliable operation under repetitive surge conditions - especially important in motor drive and power supply applications where transient duty cycles exceed 0.01%.
How does the 1N5662 differ from the plastic-packaged 1N6267 series?
The 1N5662 uses a hermetically sealed DO-13 metal-glass package, whereas the 1N6267 series employs plastic axial-leaded packaging. This gives the 1N5662 superior long-term parameter stability, moisture resistance, and radiation hardness - making it suitable for aerospace, defense, and downhole applications where 20+ year field life and extreme environmental resilience are mandatory. The 1N6267 series is intended for commercial cost-sensitive use cases.
