Product details
Overview
JANTX1N5648A from Microchip Technology (formerly Microsemi) is a hermetically sealed, unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in a DO-13 metal package, designed for high-reliability aerospace and military applications. It features a 34.8 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 45.2 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 25.3 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs waveform - used primarily to protect avionics power rails and signal lines from secondary lightning surges per IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 (42 Ω source).
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N5648A datasheet, JANTX1N5648A pinout, JANTX1N5648A application, or JANTX1N5648A equivalent, this part delivers radiation-hardened, fast-response (<100 ps) overvoltage protection with MIL-PRF-19500/500 JANTX qualification, hermetic DO-13 packaging, and guaranteed performance across –55°C to +175°C operating temperature.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N5648A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown above its 38.7–40.9 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 1 mA test current. Its low thermal resistance (50°C/W junction-to-lead) enables robust surge handling without thermal runaway under repetitive transients.
It complies with IEC61000-4-2 (ESD), -4-4 (EFT), and -4-5 (lightning surge) standards, specifically qualified for Class 4 secondary lightning protection with 42 Ω source impedance. The cathode-is-case polarity and tin-lead plating ensure reliable solderability and grounding integrity in high-vibration environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N5648A | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter V(BR) tolerance (±5% vs ±10%), lower αV(BR) (0.101%/°C vs 0.101%/°C - identical), same VC/IPP. | Required for spaceflight-critical subsystems where parametric stability over temperature and radiation is mandatory. | Select JANTXV1N5648A when mission assurance level exceeds MIL-PRF-19500/500 Class H screening requirements. |
| 1N5648A (commercial) | No military qualification; not screened to MIL-PRF-19500; same electrical specs but no radiation hardness or extended temp validation. | Suitable only for non-mission-critical industrial prototypes or ground-test fixtures. | Choose 1N5648A only for cost-sensitive development boards where JANTX-level reliability is not mandated. |
Compared with JANTX1N5648A, JANTXV1N5648A offers enhanced parametric consistency for space-grade designs, while 1N5648A provides identical electrical behavior without military screening - enabling staged qualification paths from prototype to flight hardware.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the JANTX1N5648A during a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JANTX1N5648A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.2 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 25.3 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at 25°C lead temperature and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during standardized surge events per IEC61000-4-5.
Is the JANTX1N5648A suitable for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the JANTX1N5648A is a unidirectional TVS diode - it conducts only in reverse breakdown and blocks forward current beyond its ~1 V forward voltage drop. For bidirectional protection in the same DO-13 package, Microchip specifies the 1N6036–1N6072A series, which are explicitly designed for symmetrical AC-line or data-line surge suppression.
Does the JANTX1N5648A require derating at elevated temperatures?
Yes, the JANTX1N5648A must be derated above 25°C lead temperature. Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating decreases linearly to zero at 175°C, following the derating curve in Figure 4 of T4-LDS-0096 Rev. 3. At 125°C lead temperature, maximum PPP drops to approximately 750 W, and steady-state power dissipation is limited to 1 W.
How is polarity identified on the JANTX1N5648A DO-13 package?
The JANTX1N5648A uses cathode-to-case polarity: the metal case and Lead 1 (shorter lead, per standard DO-13 orientation) are internally connected to the cathode. Polarity is marked on the body with a molded diode symbol pointing toward the cathode end, and the case must be soldered to the system ground plane for proper clamping function.
What IEC standards does the JANTX1N5648A meet for electromagnetic compatibility?
The JANTX1N5648A is validated for IEC61000-4-2 (ESD ±8 kV contact), IEC61000-4-4 (EFT 4 kV), and IEC61000-4-5 (lightning surge, Class 4 with 42 Ω source). These certifications are confirmed in the Applications/Benefits section of T4-LDS-0096 Rev. 3 and supported by Microchip's compliance documentation for MIL-qualified parts.
