Product details
Overview
JANTX1N6642U from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, metallurgically bonded, axial-lead switching diode rated for 75 V reverse working voltage (VRWM), 100 V peak reverse voltage (VBR), and 300 mA operating current, with 5.0 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 100 mA pulsed forward current (IF), used in high-reliability military timing and pulse-shaping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N6642U datasheet, JANTX1N6642U pinout, JANTX1N6642U application, or JANTX1N6642U equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/578 qualification, -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range, non-cavity glass D-5D package, and verified 5.0 ns trr at IREC = 1 mA and VR = VRWM.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N6642U is a fast-switching, low-capacitance silicon diode optimized for high-speed pulse generation and clamping in radiation-tolerant analog signal paths. Its 2.8 pF capacitance at VR = 1.5 V and 5.0 pF at VR = 20 V support stable edge fidelity in transient suppression and waveform shaping.
It operates with 0.8 V forward voltage at 10 mA (VF1) and 1.2 V at 100 mA pulsed (VF2), and exhibits 25 nA reverse leakage at VR = 75 V and TA = 25°C, enabling low-power bias networks in precision timing circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 75 V dc - maximum continuous reverse voltage before significant leakage or breakdown |
| VBR | 100 V pk - minimum peak reverse voltage at which breakdown current reaches 100 µA |
| trr | 5.0 ns - measured reverse recovery time at IREC = 1 mA, critical for >100 MHz switching |
| VF2 @ IF = 100 mA (pulsed) | 1.2 V - forward drop under high-current transient conditions, impacts power loss in pulse drivers |
| CT @ VR = 20 V | 5.0 pF - junction capacitance limiting high-frequency impedance mismatch in RF sampling paths |
| IR @ VR = 75 V, 25°C | 25 nA dc - ultra-low leakage enabling stable DC bias in high-impedance timing networks |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - qualified for extended-range operation in aerospace and downhole electronics |

Package: Hermetically sealed non-cavity glass D-5D case per MIL-PRF-19500/578; axial leads with cathode band marking; lead finish: tin/lead; thermal resistance RθJC ≤ 50°C/W at L = 0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTX1N6643U | Lower VRWM (50 V), higher VF2 (1.2 V @ 100 mA), 6.0 ns trr, 5.0 pF CT @ 20 V | Better suited for lower-voltage, moderate-speed sample-and-hold hold-phase clamping | Select when system VR < 60 V and trr tolerance > 6 ns is acceptable |
| JANTX1N6638U | Higher VRWM (125 V), lower VF2 (1.1 V @ 100 mA), 4.5 ns trr, 2.5 pF CT @ 20 V | Preferred for >120 V transient suppression where minimal capacitance is critical | Select when VR > 110 V and CT < 3.0 pF is required for GHz-range signal integrity |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for JANTX1N6642U?
JANTX1N6642U is rated for continuous operation from -65°C to +175°C, with electrical characteristics guaranteed across this full range per MIL-PRF-19500/578. Derating begins above +110°C at 4.6 mA/°C for operating current. This makes JANTX1N6642U suitable for engine control units and satellite power converters where ambient temperatures exceed 150°C.
Is JANTX1N6642U pin-compatible with JANTX1N6643U?
Yes, JANTX1N6642U and JANTX1N6643U share identical D-5D hermetic glass packaging, axial lead configuration, and cathode band polarity marking. Both comply with MIL-PRF-19500/578 mechanical dimensions and mounting requirements, allowing direct physical replacement without PCB modification - though electrical differences in VRWM, trr, and leakage must be validated in circuit.
What does "JANTX" mean in JANTX1N6642U?
"JANTX" denotes a military-grade screening level per MIL-PRF-19500/578, including extended temperature testing, burn-in, and lot traceability beyond commercial-grade parts. JANTX1N6642U undergoes rigorous environmental stress screening and failure analysis to meet reliability requirements for airborne and spaceborne platforms.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) test condition for JANTX1N6642U?
JANTX1N6642U specifies trr = 5.0 ns under the condition IREC = 1 mA, with VR = VRWM = 75 V, measured using standard double-exponential pulse methods. This value is confirmed at TJ = 25°C and reflects performance in high-frequency switching applications such as pulse-forming networks.
Does JANTX1N6642U have a specified junction capacitance at zero bias?
No, JANTX1N6642U datasheet specifies junction capacitance only at VR = 1.5 V (2.8 pF) and VR = 20 V (5.0 pF). Zero-bias capacitance is not published; design margining should use the 2.8 pF value for low-voltage small-signal applications or 5.0 pF for worst-case high-voltage bias scenarios. JANTX1N6642U's CT curve shows monotonic decrease with increasing reverse voltage.
