Product details
Overview
1N8175US/TR from Microsemi is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high-reliability, high-frequency signal line protection. It delivers 150 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs, features 4 pF capacitance, and has a working standoff voltage of 82 V with clamping voltage ≤137 V at 300 A surge current. It is used in aerospace-grade data links and RF front-end interfaces where low capacitance and hermetic reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 1N8175US/TR datasheet, 1N8175US/TR pinout, 1N8175US/TR application, or 1N8175US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless hermetically sealed glass package, Category 1 metallurgical bond, IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance, and axial-leaded through-hole mounting compatibility.
Technical Context
The 1N8175US/TR integrates a TVS junction in series with an antiparallel rectifier diode to achieve ultra-low 4 pF capacitance while maintaining unidirectional clamping behavior. Its hard-glass hermetic construction enables operation from −55 °C to +175 °C and supports radiation-hardened applications per MicroNote 050.
It is rated for 150 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), exhibits 0.105 %/°C breakdown voltage temperature coefficient, and provides ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. The device's 300 A maximum surge current and 137 V clamping voltage ensure robust secondary lightning protection in telecom and avionics interfaces.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ82A | Surface-mount DO-214AB package; 6.5 pF capacitance; 1500 W rating but higher clamping (133 V @ 12.3 A) | Designed for automated assembly; unsuitable for high-frequency >500 MHz due to higher parasitic capacitance | Select when board space is constrained and manual through-hole assembly is unavailable |
| 1N6330 | Axial-leaded, same glass package; 100 W rating; 5.5 pF capacitance; lower VWM (70 V) | Limited to lower-energy transients; not qualified to Category 1 or radiation-hardened standards | Select for cost-sensitive industrial controls where full aerospace reliability is unnecessary |
Compared with SMCJ82A and 1N6330, the 1N8175US/TR uniquely combines hermetic reliability, 4 pF capacitance, and Category 1 bonding-making it irreplaceable in flight-critical RF and data interfaces where long-term parametric stability under thermal cycling and radiation is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1N8175US/TR at its rated surge current?
The 1N8175US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage of 137 V at 300 A peak impulse current (10/1000 µs waveform). This value is guaranteed per the manufacturer's Electrical Characteristics table and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case transient events. The 1N8175US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of −55 °C to +175 °C.
Is the 1N8175US/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in the full part number 1N8175US/TR indicates RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating over copper leads and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits. Full compliance documentation is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics for traceable sourcing.
Does the 1N8175US/TR support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the 1N8175US/TR is strictly unidirectional. Bidirectional protection requires two 1N8175US/TR devices mounted in anti-parallel configuration, as documented in Figure 5 of the datasheet. This arrangement doubles the effective capacitance to 8 pF but retains the low-clamping, high-reliability benefits of the base device.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1N8175US/TR, and how does it affect power dissipation?
The 1N8175US/TR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 150 °C/W. This value applies to standard PCB mounting with controlled thermal paths; exceeding 1.0 W average power at 25 °C ambient will cause junction temperature to exceed 175 °C. For continuous operation, derating per Figure 3 is required-e.g., at 70 °C ambient, maximum steady-state power drops to ~0.7 W.
Can the 1N8175US/TR be used in place of the 1N8174 or 1N8176?
No-1N8175US/TR is a discrete voltage grade within the 1N8149–1N8182 family, with specific VWM = 82 V and V(BR) = 95.0 V min. Substituting 1N8174 (VWM = 75 V) or 1N8176 (VWM = 94 V) alters the protection threshold and may cause premature conduction or insufficient clamping. Each variant must be selected per circuit standoff voltage requirements; the 1N8175US/TR is not interchangeable without design validation.
