Product details
Overview
JANTX1N5657A 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 81.0 V rated standoff voltage (VWM), 90–110 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 144 A peak pulse current (IPP), and clamps transients to ≤144 V at 10/1000 µs waveform - enabling protection against secondary lightning surges per IEC61000-4-5 with 42 Ω source impedance (Class 1).
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N5657A datasheet, JANTX1N5657A pinout, JANTX1N5657A application, or JANTX1N5657A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1500 W peak pulse power rating, <100 ps response time, -55°C to +175°C operating temperature range, hermetic DO-13 package, and MIL-PRF-19500/500 JANTX qualification for aerospace-grade surge immunity.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N5657A operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, entering controlled breakdown above its 81.0 V standoff voltage to clamp fast transients while maintaining low leakage (<5 µA at VWM). Its thermal resistance is 50°C/W junction-to-lead (0.375" from body), supporting robust power handling in high-temperature environments.
It complies with IEC61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC61000-4-4 (EFT), and IEC61000-4-5 (lightning surge) standards, with validated performance up to Class 1 secondary lightning (42 Ω source) and Class 2 (12 Ω source). Radiation hardness is inherent per Microsemi MicroNote 050.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N5657A | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter V(BR) tolerance and extended temperature validation per MIL-PRF-19500/500. | Required for spaceflight and nuclear command systems where enhanced reliability and radiation assurance are mandated. | Select JANTXV1N5657A when full JANTXV qualification - including burn-in, life test, and lot acceptance - is contractually required. |
| 1N5657A (commercial grade) | No military screening; not tested to MIL-PRF-19500/500; same electrical specs but no traceability or environmental stress screening. | Suitable for non-critical industrial prototypes or cost-sensitive ground-based equipment without certification mandates. | Choose 1N5657A only for lab evaluation or commercial systems where JANTX-level reliability and documentation are unnecessary. |
Compared with JANTX1N5657A, JANTXV1N5657A adds rigorous process controls and extended testing for mission-critical deployments, while 1N5657A omits all military screening - making the JANTX variant the optimal balance of assured performance and procurement accessibility for defense contractors.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the JANTX1N5657A under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JANTX1N5657A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 144 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 144 A under the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events - critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Is the JANTX1N5657A suitable for IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the JANTX1N5657A is validated for secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 with 42 Ω source impedance (Class 1) and 12 Ω source impedance (Class 2). Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating and sub-100 ps response enable reliable suppression of standardized surge waveforms without degradation, making it appropriate for avionics and vehicle electronics subject to induced lightning effects.
Does the JANTX1N5657A have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the JANTX1N5657A exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. While not individually certified per MIL-STD-883 method 1019, its DO-13 hermetic metal-glass construction and silicon process provide proven resilience to total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effects - a key reason it is selected for satellite power systems and nuclear instrumentation.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) rating of the JANTX1N5657A, and why does it matter?
The JANTX1N5657A has a rated standoff voltage (VWM) of 81.0 V, meaning it remains non-conductive below this reverse voltage during normal operation. This parameter ensures minimal leakage current (<5 µA) and avoids interference with system functionality - selecting a VWM ≥ the maximum continuous operating voltage is essential to prevent false triggering while preserving surge margin.
How is the cathode terminal identified and used in the JANTX1N5657A DO-13 package?
In the JANTX1N5657A's DO-13 package, the cathode is electrically connected to the metal case and marked by a diode symbol on the body; Lead 1 serves as the cathode terminal. For proper operation, the cathode must be tied directly to a low-impedance system ground plane to ensure low-inductance surge current return - incorrect grounding compromises clamping performance and risks device failure.
