Product details
Overview
JANTX1N5639A from Microchip Technology is a hermetically sealed, unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-13 metal package, designed for high-reliability aerospace and military applications. It features 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 16.2 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), and clamps transients to ≤26.5 V at 56.5 A peak pulse current (IPP). It operates across –55 °C to +175 °C and is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/500.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N5639A datasheet, JANTX1N5639A pinout, JANTX1N5639A application, or JANTX1N5639A equivalent, this part delivers verified ESD/EFT protection per IEC 61000-4-2/4-4, secondary lightning suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 (with 42 Ω, 12 Ω, and 2 Ω source impedances), and radiation-hardened performance per MicroNote 050 - critical for avionics and harsh-environment electronics.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N5639A functions as a unidirectional avalanche-clamping TVS diode with cathode connected to case. Its breakdown occurs at ≥16.2 V (IBR = 1 mA), with rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 14.5 V and maximum standby leakage current of 5 µA at that voltage.
Under transient stress, it clamps to ≤26.5 V within <100 ps, dissipating up to 1500 W for non-repetitive 10/1000 µs pulses. Thermal resistance is 50 °C/W junction-to-lead (0.375″ from body), supporting operation at lead temperature ≤125 °C with 1 W DC dissipation derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 14.5 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; must exceed system DC bus or signal swing. |
| VBR min | 16.2 V @ IBR = 1 mA - Minimum voltage at which avalanche breakdown initiates; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating range. |
| VC | ≤26.5 V @ IPP = 56.5 A - Clamped voltage during worst-case surge; defines maximum stress imposed on protected downstream circuitry. |
| PPP | 1500 W (10/1000 µs) - Peak transient energy handling capacity; enables robust protection against inductive switching and lightning-induced surges. |
| TOP/TSTG | –55 °C to +175 °C - Extended temperature range supports deployment in engine bays, avionics bays, and space-constrained military enclosures. |
| Package | DO-13 (DO-202AA) - Hermetic metal-glass axial package with tin-lead plating; provides superior moisture resistance and thermal conduction vs. plastic equivalents. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N5639A | Higher screening level (JANTXV per MIL-PRF-19500/500); tighter parametric limits and extended burn-in. | Required for space-grade or nuclear-hardened programs where failure rate and lot traceability exceed JANTX requirements. | Select when program spec mandates JANTXV-level qualification or zero-defect reliability targets. |
| 1N5639A (commercial) | No military screening; same electrical specs but no MIL-PRF-19500/500 compliance or radiation data. | Suitable only for non-mission-critical industrial or test equipment where cost and availability outweigh qualification needs. | Choose only if JANTX-level documentation, traceability, or radiation assurance is not required. |
Compared with JANTX1N5639A, JANTXV1N5639A adds enhanced screening for ultra-high-reliability programs, while 1N5639A omits all military qualifications - making JANTX1N5639A the optimal balance of proven ruggedness, documented radiation tolerance, and supply chain traceability for defense avionics.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the JANTX1N5639A?
The JANTX1N5639A has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 14.5 V. This is the maximum DC or continuous peak reverse voltage the device can withstand without entering avalanche conduction. It is selected to be safely above the normal operating voltage of protected circuits - such as 12 V or 28 V aerospace buses - while ensuring rapid clamping during overvoltage events. The JANTX1N5639A maintains leakage current ≤5 µA at this voltage.
How does the JANTX1N5639A differ from commercial 1N5639A?
The JANTX1N5639A differs from the commercial 1N5639A through full MIL-PRF-19500/500 qualification, including rigorous screening for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and parametric stability. It also carries documented radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 - data not provided for the commercial variant. While both share identical electrical specs (VWM = 14.5 V, VC ≤ 26.5 V), only the JANTX1N5639A meets defense and space program traceability and reliability requirements.
Is the JANTX1N5639A suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the JANTX1N5639A is validated for secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 across multiple source impedances: Class 4 with 42 Ω, Class 4 with 12 Ω, and Class 3 with 2 Ω source impedance. Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating and 26.5 V clamping voltage ensure downstream circuitry remains within safe operating limits during standardized surge waveforms - making it appropriate for avionics power and signal line protection where IEC 61000-4-5 compliance is mandated.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum DC power dissipation of the JANTX1N5639A?
The JANTX1N5639A has a thermal resistance of 50 °C/W junction-to-lead (measured at 0.375″ from case body) and is rated for 1 W DC power dissipation at lead temperature ≤125 °C. This derating curve allows sustained operation in high-temperature environments like engine compartments or sealed avionics bays. Note that TVS devices like the JANTX1N5639A are intended for transient suppression - not continuous power dissipation - so DC loading should remain well below 1 W except during brief surge events.
Does the JANTX1N5639A have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the JANTX1N5639A is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, which documents its performance under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure. This makes the JANTX1N5639A suitable for use in high-altitude flight systems and satellite payloads where cumulative radiation doses may exceed 100 krad(Si). Radiation hardness is a built-in characteristic of its DO-13 hermetic construction and silicon process - not an optional add-on - and is confirmed across the full JANTX-qualified family.
