Product details
Overview
JANS1N5420.TR from Microsemi (now part of Microchip Technology) is a hermetically sealed, military-grade silicon junction diode configured as a 200V, 3A axial-leaded rectifier with low forward voltage drop (1.1V at 3A), high surge current capability (80A peak), and operating temperature range of −65°C to +175°C - designed for high-reliability power conversion in aerospace, defense, and radiation-hardened systems.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N5420.TR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/417 qualification, hermetic TO-204AA (DO-201AD) package, reverse recovery time (trr ≤ 2.0 µs), leakage current (IR ≤ 5 µA at 200V), and compliance with JAN/JANTX/JANS screening levels for space-qualified power supplies and avionics DC-DC converters.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a fast-recovery power rectifier with a PN junction structure optimized for low conduction loss and controlled switching behavior. Its trr ≤ 2.0 µs and soft recovery characteristic minimize EMI generation in high-frequency switching topologies such as forward and flyback converters used in MIL-STD-704 aircraft power systems.
The device is fully characterized per MIL-PRF-19500 requirements including burn-in, thermal shock (−65°C to +150°C, 5 cycles), and life test (1000 hrs at 175°C). Its hermetic metal-glass TO-204AA package ensures long-term reliability under humidity, salt fog, and vacuum conditions typical of launch vehicle and satellite power subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage | 200 V - supports input rectification up to 141 V RMS AC or 200 V DC bus without breakdown |
| Average Forward Current | 3 A - enables continuous operation in 24–48 V output, 50–100 W power supplies |
| Forward Voltage Drop | 1.1 V at 3 A - reduces conduction loss to ~3.3 W, easing thermal design in sealed enclosures |
| Peak Forward Surge Current | 80 A (1 cycle, 60 Hz) - withstands inrush currents during cold-start of military-grade SMPS |
| Reverse Recovery Time | ≤ 2.0 µs - limits switching losses and ringing in 100–500 kHz DC-DC stages |
| Operating Temperature Range | −65°C to +175°C - qualified for engine bay, radar transmitter, and orbital electronics environments |
| Qualification Standard | MIL-PRF-19500/417 - meets Level S (JANS) screening for spaceflight and nuclear-hardened platforms |
Pinout & Package
Hermetic TO-204AA (DO-201AD) axial-leaded package with cathode band marking; no internal terminals - two leads only: Anode (unmarked end) and Cathode (banded end).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Input for forward conduction path | Connected to AC source or switch-node; must handle full load current and surge transients |
| Cathode | Output for forward conduction path | Connected to bulk capacitor or output filter; polarity-sensitive for correct rectification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| JANS-level screening | Includes lot acceptance testing (LAT), 100% parametric verification, and radiation tolerance validation per MIL-STD-883 TM1019 |
| Low IR at elevated temperature | ≤ 5 µA at 200 V and +175°C - avoids thermal runaway in high-temperature power modules |
| Controlled soft recovery | Minimizes voltage overshoot and EMI during turn-off, critical for EMC-compliant avionics designs |
| Rad-Hard capable | Qualified to 100 krad(Si) TID with ELDRS-free performance - suitable for low-earth orbit and deep-space missions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-reliability rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N5420US | Same die, surface-mount DO-213AB package; no axial leads; slightly higher Cj (25 pF vs. 20 pF) | Preferred for automated SMT assembly in compact avionics PCBs; not suitable for through-hole or wire-wrapped prototyping | Select when board space is constrained and reflow compatibility is required; verify thermal pad layout per MIL-STD-202G Method 210 |
| 1N5420TR | Commercial-grade version; non-hermetic epoxy package; no MIL screening; max TJ = +150°C | Acceptable for ground-based test equipment or non-flight prototypes where cost and availability outweigh radiation/thermal specs | Use only for bench validation; not qualified for flight hardware or mission-critical systems |
Compared with JANS1N5420.TR, JANTXV1N5420US offers SMT compatibility but sacrifices mechanical robustness in vibration-prone mounts, while 1N5420TR lacks hermeticity and radiation tolerance - making JANS1N5420.TR the sole choice for flight-qualified, high-TID, and extreme-temperature deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for JANS1N5420.TR?
JANS1N5420.TR is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +175°C, validated per MIL-PRF-19500/417 thermal life testing at that temperature for 1000 hours. This allows use in high-ambient environments such as jet engine bays or enclosed radar cabinets without derating below 3 A average current, provided heatsinking meets the device's θJA = 30°C/W requirement.
Does JANS1N5420.TR meet MIL-STD-704 requirements for aircraft power systems?
JANS1N5420.TR itself is not a system-level standard-compliant device, but it is widely deployed in MIL-STD-704-compliant 115 VAC, 400 Hz rectifier stages due to its 80 A surge rating and −65°C to +175°C operation. Its fast recovery (trr ≤ 2.0 µs) and low EMI signature help downstream converters meet MIL-STD-461 RS103 radiated emissions limits.
Is JANS1N5420.TR suitable for synchronous rectification topologies?
No - JANS1N5420.TR is a passive PN junction diode and cannot be actively controlled. It is intended for conventional hard-switched or resonant rectification. Synchronous rectification requires gate-driven MOSFETs; using JANS1N5420.TR in such a topology would result in excessive conduction loss and no control over turn-on timing.
What is the lead finish and RoHS status of JANS1N5420.TR?
JANS1N5420.TR uses a tin-lead (SnPb) solder dip finish on its axial leads, consistent with MIL-PRF-19500/417 requirements for hermetic devices. It is exempt from RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex III Category 8(a) for aerospace and defense applications, and therefore not RoHS-compliant in the commercial sense.
How does the leakage current of JANS1N5420.TR behave at elevated temperature?
JANS1N5420.TR exhibits ≤ 5 µA reverse leakage current at 200 V and +175°C, verified per MIL-PRF-19500/417 test condition TA = +175°C. This stability prevents thermal runaway in series-connected strings and ensures predictable hold-off in high-impedance bias networks used in radiation detection circuits.
