Product details
Overview
1N5664 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, avionics, and industrial systems. It features a 146 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 162 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 258 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.8 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5664 datasheet, 1N5664 pinout, 1N5664 application, or 1N5664 equivalent, this device is selected for secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 (with 42 Ω, 12 Ω, or 2 Ω source impedance), ESD/EFT immunity per IEC 61000-4-2/-4-4, and fast-clamp (<100 ps) protection of sensitive analog/digital interfaces in harsh electromagnetic environments.
Technical Context
The 1N5664 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown above its VWM to clamp transient energy into ground while maintaining low leakage (<5 µA at 146 V). 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, enabling protection against inductive switching transients, induced RF, and secondary lightning surges. Thermal resistance is 50°C/W junction-to-lead (0.375" from body), supporting robust thermal management in through-hole mounted designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 146 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets system-level DC bias margin. |
| V(BR) min | 162 V @ 1 mA - Guaranteed avalanche onset threshold; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPP | 258 V @ 5.8 A - Peak clamped voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case stress on downstream circuitry. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables protection against high-energy transients without failure. |
| Response time | <100 ps - Near-instantaneous clamping; critical for preserving signal integrity in high-speed data lines. |
| Operating temp | -55°C to +175°C - Wide thermal range supports deployment in engine bays, avionics bays, and industrial control cabinets. |
| Junction-to-lead Rθ | 50°C/W - Enables reliable heat dissipation when leads are mounted ≥10 mm from component body. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-13 (DO-202AA), hermetically sealed metal-glass case with tin-lead plated external surfaces; cathode connected to case and marked by diode symbol on body; weight ≈1.4 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 2) | Transient current return path | Connected to protected line; carries full surge current during clamping event. |
| Cathode (Lead 1 / Case) | Clamp reference and ground path | Electrically tied to metal case; must be soldered to low-impedance ground plane for effective energy diversion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional TVS architecture | Enables precise DC bias compatibility-only conducts during positive transients on anode relative to cathode-ground. |
| 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Class 1–4 secondary lightning surges with defined source impedances. |
| Hermetic DO-13 metal package | Provides long-term reliability in high-humidity, high-vibration, and radiation-exposed environments (e.g., airborne systems). |
| <100 ps response time | Prevents voltage overshoot beyond VC during nanosecond-scale ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (15 kV air). |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050-suitable for space-qualified and nuclear instrumentation applications without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5664A | Tighter V(BR) tolerance (162–171 V vs. 162–187 V); same DO-13 package and electrical ratings. | Required for JANTXV-qualified programs where ±5% breakdown voltage control is mandated per MIL-PRF-19500/500. | Select 1N5664A when military qualification, tighter parametric control, or extended temperature validation is required. |
| SMCJ150A | Surface-mount SMC package; 150 V VWM; 243 V VC @ 6.2 A; same 1500 W PPP rating. | Used where PCB real estate is constrained and automated assembly is preferred; lacks hermetic seal and radiation hardness. | Choose SMCJ150A for commercial industrial designs prioritizing cost and layout density over hermeticity or radiation tolerance. |
Compared with 1N5664, the 1N5664A offers tighter V(BR) control for mission-critical military use, while the SMCJ150A trades hermetic reliability for surface-mount manufacturability-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages and mechanical construction.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 1N5664 under standard test conditions?
The 1N5664 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 258 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 5.8 A using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Is the 1N5664 suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the 1N5664 is explicitly rated for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection across multiple classes: Class 1 (42 Ω source) up to 1N5663A, Class 2 (12 Ω) up to 1N5651A, and Class 2 (2 Ω) up to 1N5642A. Its 146 V VWM and 258 V VC enable compliance in 28 V and 120 V system architectures when properly implemented with low-inductance grounding.
Does the 1N5664 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the 1N5664 possesses inherent radiation hardness validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050. This qualification stems from its hermetic DO-13 metal-glass construction and silicon process, making it suitable for deployment in low-earth orbit satellite subsystems, nuclear instrumentation, and high-altitude avionics where total ionizing dose (TID) resilience is required.
What is the thermal resistance specification for the 1N5664?
The 1N5664 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 parameter governs steady-state power dissipation limits and informs heatsinking strategy-derating begins above +125°C lead temperature, with 1 W DC dissipation permitted only at TL ≤ +125°C.
How does the 1N5664 differ from the plastic-packaged 1N6267 series?
The 1N5664 uses a hermetically sealed DO-13 metal-glass package, whereas the 1N6267 series employs plastic axial-leaded construction. This gives the 1N5664 superior moisture resistance, thermal stability, radiation hardness, and long-term reliability in extreme environments-key distinctions confirmed in Microchip's separate datasheets for each family.
