Product details
Overview
JAN1N5655A from Microchip Technology (formerly Microsemi) is a hermetically sealed, unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in a DO-13 metal package, designed for high-reliability aerospace and military applications. It features a 66.4 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 73.8–77.9 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 1 mA, and clamps transients to ≤118 V at 12.7 A peak pulse current (IPP), delivering 1500 W peak pulse power per 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N5655A datasheet, JAN1N5655A pinout, JAN1N5655A application, or JAN1N5655A equivalent, this device is selected for secondary lightning protection (IEC61000-4-5 Class 3 with 2 Ω source impedance), ESD/EFT hardening per IEC61000-4-2/-4-4, and inductive switching surge suppression in avionics power rails and signal interfaces where hermetic sealing and radiation hardness are mandatory.
Technical Context
The JAN1N5655A operates as a unidirectional avalanche-clamping TVS diode, leveraging silicon junction physics to enter controlled reverse breakdown within <100 ps of transient onset. Its DO-13 metal-glass hermetic package ensures zero moisture ingress and stable electrical performance across -55°C to +175°C operating temperature range.
It is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/500 under JAN level, with tighter parametric tolerances than commercial 1N5655A variants. The cathode is internally bonded to the case, establishing a fixed polarity reference critical for grounding integrity in flight-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the JAN1N5655A under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JAN1N5655A clamps to a maximum of 118 V when subjected to its rated 12.7 A peak pulse current (IPP) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at 25°C lead temperature and defines the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during a standardized surge event. The JAN1N5655A achieves this clamping performance while maintaining 1500 W peak pulse power capability and sub-100 ps response time.
Is the JAN1N5655A hermetically sealed, and why does that matter?
Yes, the JAN1N5655A uses a DO-13 (DO-202AA) hermetically sealed metal-glass package. This construction prevents moisture ingress and eliminates parameter drift over decades, which is critical for aerospace and defense systems with multi-year storage or mission durations. Hermeticity also ensures stable V(BR) and VC performance across thermal cycling and high-humidity environments where plastic-packaged alternatives would degrade. The JAN1N5655A's seal is verified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1071.
How does the JAN1N5655A differ from the commercial 1N5655A part?
The JAN1N5655A differs from the commercial 1N5655A in three key ways: it is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/500 at JAN level, uses a hermetically sealed DO-13 metal package (vs plastic DO-15), and has tighter V(BR) tolerance (73.8–77.9 V vs 73.8–86.5 V). These differences make the JAN1N5655A suitable for flight hardware and radiation-exposed environments, whereas the 1N5655A is restricted to non-safety-critical industrial use. Both share identical electrical ratings at 25°C, but only the JAN1N5655A guarantees performance across -55°C to +175°C.
Can the JAN1N5655A be used for IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the JAN1N5655A is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection: it supports Class 3 with 2 Ω source impedance, Class 3 with 12 Ω, and Class 4 with 42 Ω per the manufacturer's technical data sheet. Its 1500 W peak pulse power and 118 V clamping voltage enable compliance with these test levels when properly mounted with low-inductance grounding. The JAN1N5655A's hermetic DO-13 package further ensures consistent performance across repeated surges without degradation.
What is the polarity configuration and mounting requirement for the JAN1N5655A?
The JAN1N5655A is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode (marked by diode symbol on the case) internally bonded to the metal package. Lead 1 (cathode) must be connected to chassis ground, and Lead 2 (anode) to the protected line. This configuration requires a low-inductance, wide copper pour ground plane beneath the case to minimize clamping overshoot. Mounting must maintain ≥0.375 inch (10 mm) lead length from body to PCB pad to meet thermal resistance spec of 50°C/W junction-to-lead.
