Product details
Overview
JANTX1N5631A from Microchip Technology is a hermetically sealed, unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-13 metal package, designed for high-reliability military avionics and industrial systems. It features 7.38 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 6.63 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 12.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 120 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 µs waveform.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N5631A datasheet, JANTX1N5631A pinout, JANTX1N5631A application, or JANTX1N5631A equivalent, this device serves as a MIL-PRF-19500/500 qualified protection component for inductive switching transients, ESD per IEC 61000-4-2, EFT per IEC 61000-4-4, and secondary lightning surges per IEC 61000-4-5 with 2–42 Ω source impedance.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N5631A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its VWM of 6.63 V to clamp transients within nanoseconds. Its <100 ps response time ensures effective suppression of fast-rising ESD and EFT events before downstream circuitry sustains damage.
Rated for -55°C to +175°C operating temperature and hermetically sealed in DO-13 metal-glass construction, it delivers radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 and thermal resistance of 50°C/W junction-to-lead - enabling robust performance in airborne, space-constrained, and high-temperature embedded environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Rated Standoff Voltage) | 6.63 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage applied without significant leakage; must exceed system operating voltage to avoid false triggering. |
| VBR (Breakdown Voltage @ 10 mA) | 7.38–9.02 V - Confirmed minimum/maximum avalanche onset range; defines threshold for transient clamping activation. |
| VC (Clamping Voltage @ 120 A) | 12.5 V - Peak voltage across device during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs. |
| IPP (Peak Pulse Current) | 120 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely handles without degradation under standard test conditions. |
| PPP (Peak Pulse Power) | 1500 W - Surge energy absorption capacity over 10/1000 µs waveform; enables protection against high-energy inductive spikes. |
| TJ Operating Range | -55°C to +175°C - Full military temperature range supported by hermetic DO-13 packaging and metallurgical design. |
| Response Time | <100 ps - Enables suppression of ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) before propagation into sensitive analog or digital circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTX1N5630A | Lower VWM (6.05 V) and VC (11.7 V); 128 A IPP | Better suited for 5 V logic rail protection where tighter clamping margin is critical | Select when system operating voltage is ≤6.0 V and lower clamping voltage is prioritized over higher surge margin. |
| JANTX1N5632A | Higher VWM (7.37 V) and VC (13.8 V); 109 A IPP | Preferred for 8–9 V intermediate bus protection with greater standoff margin | Choose when protecting circuits with nominal 7–8 V supply rails where false triggering risk outweighs peak current requirement. |
Compared with JANTX1N5631A, JANTX1N5630A offers tighter clamping at lower voltage but reduced surge handling, while JANTX1N5632A provides enhanced standoff margin at the cost of higher clamping voltage - making JANTX1N5631A the balanced selection for 6.6 V nominal systems requiring 120 A/1500 W capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the JANTX1N5631A under standard surge conditions?
The JANTX1N5631A exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 12.5 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform with a peak pulse current (IPP) of 120 A. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events - critical for ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V logic interfaces.
Does the JANTX1N5631A meet IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection requirements?
Yes, the JANTX1N5631A is validated for secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 across multiple classes: Class 1 (42 Ω ZS), Class 2 (12 Ω ZS), and Class 3 (2 Ω ZS). Its 1500 W peak pulse power and sub-100 ps response enable reliable suppression of induced surges in avionics, vehicle electronics, and industrial control cabinets without requiring external impedance matching.
What is the standoff voltage rating of the JANTX1N5631A, and how does it relate to system design?
The JANTX1N5631A has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 6.63 V, meaning it remains nonconductive up to this reverse voltage level. System designers must ensure that the maximum continuous operating voltage on the protected line does not exceed VWM to prevent leakage current or premature breakdown - making it ideal for 6 V nominal power rails and sensor bias lines.
Is the JANTX1N5631A hermetically sealed, and why does that matter for reliability?
Yes, the JANTX1N5631A uses a hermetically sealed DO-13 metal-glass package, which eliminates moisture permeation and prevents long-term parameter shift due to environmental aging. This construction supports operation from -55°C to +175°C and ensures consistent clamping performance in high-humidity, high-vibration, or vacuum environments typical of aerospace and defense deployments.
How does the JANTX1N5631A differ from commercial-grade 1N5631A variants?
The JANTX1N5631A differs from commercial 1N5631A through full MIL-PRF-19500/500 qualification, including rigorous screening for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and lot traceability. It also guarantees tighter parametric tolerances and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 - essential for mission-critical systems where failure modes cannot be tolerated.
