Product details
Overview
JANTX1N5645A 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 applications. It features a 29.7 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 26.8 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), and clamps transients to ≤47.7 V at 31.5 A peak pulse current (IPP), delivering 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) for protection against ESD, EFT, and secondary lightning surges per IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N5645A datasheet, JANTX1N5645A pinout, JANTX1N5645A application, or JANTX1N5645A equivalent, this device serves as a MIL-PRF-19500/500 qualified TVS for avionics power rail and signal line protection where hermetic sealing, radiation hardness, and −55 °C to +175 °C operation are mandatory.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N5645A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown when reverse voltage exceeds its 29.7–36.3 V VBR range at 1 mA test current. Its response time is under 100 ps, enabling suppression of fast-rising transients before downstream circuitry sustains damage.
It is rated for 1500 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), with thermal resistance of 50 °C/W junction-to-lead and 110 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4. The cathode is internally connected to the metal case, requiring proper grounding in PCB layout to ensure effective clamping.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N5645A | Higher qualification level (JANTXV per MIL-PRF-19500/500); tighter VBR tolerance (±5% vs ±10%), lower αVBR, and extended screening including burn-in and radiation testing. | Required for space-grade or nuclear-hardened systems where failure modes must be statistically bounded beyond standard JANTX requirements. | Select JANTXV1N5645A when mission-critical reliability demands zero latent defects and proven TID tolerance above 100 krad(Si). |
| 1N5645A (commercial) | No military qualification; not hermetically sealed (plastic DO-15); VBR tolerance ±10%, no radiation hardness validation, and −65 °C to +175 °C rating. | Suitable only for benign industrial or lab environments where cost and availability outweigh environmental resilience. | Choose 1N5645A only for prototyping or non-mission-critical ground equipment where DO-13 mechanical robustness is unnecessary. |
Compared with JANTX1N5645A, JANTXV1N5645A adds verified radiation tolerance and tighter parametric control for spaceflight, while 1N5645A sacrifices hermeticity and qualification rigor for cost-sensitive commercial use-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package outlines (DO-13 vs DO-15) and case bonding schemes.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the JANTX1N5645A at its rated peak pulse current?
The JANTX1N5645A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 47.7 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 31.5 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the highest voltage that will appear across the protected circuit during a worst-case transient event. The JANTX1N5645A maintains this clamping performance across its full military temperature range due to its low temperature coefficient of 0.098 %/°C.
Is the JANTX1N5645A hermetically sealed, and why does that matter for reliability?
Yes, the JANTX1N5645A uses a DO-13 (DO-202AA) hermetically sealed metal-glass package, confirmed in the Microsemi datasheet. This construction prevents moisture ingress, halts internal corrosion, and eliminates parameter drift over decades of field operation-critical for avionics and satellite systems where maintenance is impossible. The JANTX1N5645A's hermetic seal directly enables its −55 °C to +175 °C operational range and MIL-PRF-19500/500 qualification, distinguishing it from plastic-packaged alternatives.
Does the JANTX1N5645A meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge immunity, and at what class?
Yes, the JANTX1N5645A meets IEC61000-4-5 for secondary lightning surge immunity. Per the datasheet, it supports Class 4 protection with a 42 Ω source impedance, covering up to 4 kV line-to-ground surges. It also qualifies for Class 1–3 with 12 Ω and 2 Ω source impedances depending on specific test configuration. The JANTX1N5645A achieves this through its 1500 W peak pulse power rating and sub-100 ps response time, ensuring clamping occurs before surge energy damages downstream circuitry.
How is the cathode terminal configured on the JANTX1N5645A, and what is its PCB layout implication?
The cathode terminal of the JANTX1N5645A is electrically connected to the metal case and designated as Lead 1 per the DO-13 mechanical drawing. This requires the case to be soldered directly to a low-impedance ground plane on the PCB-any thermal or mechanical isolation degrades clamping performance and thermal dissipation. The JANTX1N5645A's 50 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance depends on this direct case-to-ground bond, making proper mounting essential to sustain its 1500 W pulse rating.
What is the standby leakage current specification for the JANTX1N5645A at its rated standoff voltage?
The JANTX1N5645A exhibits a maximum standby leakage current (ID) of 5 µA when biased at its rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 26.8 V, measured at TA = 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on avionics systems and avoids false triggering of downstream undervoltage monitors. The JANTX1N5645A maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range, supporting reliable operation in battery-backed flight control units.
