Product details
Overview
JANTX1N5632A from Microchip Technology (formerly Microsemi) is a hermetically sealed, unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in a DO-13 metal package, designed for high-reliability aerospace and military systems. It provides 1500 W peak pulse power handling at 10/1000 µs, clamps transients to ≤13.4 V at 112 A, and operates across –55°C to +175°C - commonly deployed in avionics power rail protection against ESD, EFT, and secondary lightning surges per IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N5632A datasheet, JANTX1N5632A pinout, JANTX1N5632A application, or JANTX1N5632A equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military qualification status, DO-13 mechanical interface details, and direct alternatives for surge protection design in harsh-environment electronics.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N5632A functions as a unidirectional avalanche breakdown TVS diode with cathode tied to case, enabling low-inductance grounding in high-speed transient suppression. Its 7.37 V rated standoff voltage (VWM) and 8.19–8.65 V breakdown range (VBR) ensure reliable blocking under nominal 6–7 V DC rails while triggering fast (<100 ps) into clamping mode during overvoltage events.
It delivers 13.4 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 112 A peak pulse current (IPP), achieving 1500 W peak pulse power (PPP) with thermal resistance of 50°C/W junction-to-lead. Hermetic DO-13 packaging supports operation up to +175°C ambient and meets MIL-PRF-19500/500 JANTX level requirements for radiation hardness and long-term reliability.
Key Specifications

| VBR @ IBR=1 mA | 8.19–8.65 V - Confirmed avalanche onset range; ensures predictable turn-on before destructive overvoltage. |
| VC @ IPP=112 A | ≤13.4 V - Maximum clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak power dissipation capability defines surge energy handling limit per IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 (2 Ω source). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTX1N5632 | Same DO-13 package and VWM/VC, but wider VBR tolerance (7.38–9.02 V vs. 8.19–8.65 V); no "A" suffix tight tolerance. | Lower production test coverage; not approved for Class 1–4 IEC61000-4-5 with 2 Ω source impedance. | Select JANTX1N5632A when guaranteed 8.19–8.65 V breakdown is required for precise rail margining in safety-critical systems. |
| SMCJ7.0A | Surface-mount SMC package; same VWM=7.0 V, VC=11.2 V @ 108 A; lower thermal resistance (15°C/W) but non-hermetic plastic body. | Not suitable for >125°C ambient or radiation environments; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 qualification and hermetic seal. | Choose SMCJ7.0A only for commercial industrial PCBs where size, cost, and reflow compatibility outweigh military reliability needs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the JANTX1N5632A under standard test conditions?
The JANTX1N5632A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 13.4 V when subjected to its rated 112 A peak pulse current (IPP) 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 - critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings.
Is the JANTX1N5632A suitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the JANTX1N5632A is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection with a 2 Ω source impedance, as confirmed in the datasheet's Applications/Benefits section. Its 1500 W peak pulse power and 112 A IPP meet the 42 Ω, 12 Ω, and 2 Ω source impedance requirements for Classes 1–4, making it appropriate for high-energy surge environments in military vehicles and avionics.
How does the DO-13 package of the JANTX1N5632A impact PCB layout and grounding strategy?
The DO-13 package of the JANTX1N5632A features a cathode internally connected to the metal case, requiring direct soldering of the case to a low-inductance ground plane or chassis. This configuration minimizes parasitic inductance and ensures sub-100 ps response - so PCB layout must avoid vias or narrow traces between the case and ground, and maintain short, wide copper pours to preserve clamping speed and effectiveness.
What is the temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage for the JANTX1N5632A?
The JANTX1N5632A has a maximum temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αVBR) of 0.068 %/°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This linear drift rate allows designers to calculate VBR variation across the full –55°C to +175°C operating range and verify that clamping remains effective at temperature extremes without exceeding downstream IC voltage tolerances.
Does the JANTX1N5632A require derating for continuous power dissipation?
No - the JANTX1N5632A is not intended for continuous DC power dissipation. Its 1 W steady-state rating applies only at lead temperature ≤+125°C and is strictly for thermal management during infrequent surges. The device operates in standby below VWM (7.37 V) with ≤50 µA leakage, and all surge energy is absorbed transiently in avalanche mode; sustained power dissipation will cause thermal runaway.
