Product details
Overview
JAN1N6143AUS/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JAN level, with 8.4 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 10.45 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 125 mA, and 15.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 96.2 A peak pulse current (IPP) for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in avionics power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6143AUS/TR datasheet, JAN1N6143AUS/TR pinout, JAN1N6143AUS/TR application, or JAN1N6143AUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability certification, hard-glass hermetic package integrity, 1500 W peak pulse power rating, and bidirectional ESD/EFT/IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning surge suppression capability.
Technical Context
This TVS operates bidirectionally without polarity marking and uses internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds within a voidless hard-glass construction to ensure survivability under high-energy transients. Its 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) and 15.6 V clamping voltage at 96.2 A IPP enable robust protection of sensitive downstream circuitry against fast-rising surges.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αV(BR)) of 0.07 %/°C and maintains stable performance across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. Standby leakage current is limited to 20 µA at 8.4 V VWM, supporting low-power system monitoring integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 8.4 V - maximum continuous reverse/forward voltage before conduction begins; sets operating margin for protected line. |
| V(BR) min | 10.45 V @ 125 mA - guaranteed breakdown onset threshold; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPP | 15.6 V @ 96.2 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak transient energy absorption capacity; enables compliance with IEC61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surge immunity. |
| ID @ VWM | 20 µA - ultra-low leakage at rated standoff; preserves signal integrity and battery life in always-on systems. |
| TJ Range | –55 °C to +175 °C - extended thermal envelope supports operation in harsh military/aerospace environments. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance; enables direct thermal path to PCB copper or heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (C-package variant), hermetically sealed voidless hard glass with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals; weight ≈ 1100 mg; dimensions per Microsemi T4-LDS-0278-1 Rev. 2 (Page 7).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Surge current path | No polarity marking - symmetric conduction allows placement without orientation check; both ends serve as interchangeable surge entry points. |
| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal & mechanical interface | Direct thermal conduction path to PCB pad; tungsten slug enables RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W and mechanical stability under thermal cycling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional TVS architecture | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or floating lines without polarity constraints or external diode pairing. |
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and internal delamination risk - critical for long-term reliability in sealed military enclosures. |
| Category 1 metallurgical bonds | Guarantees bond integrity under shock/vibration per MIL-STD-883; prevents interfacial failure during repeated surge events. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN qualification | Validates manufacturing process control, screening, and test rigor required for mission-critical defense electronics programs. |
Applications
| Avionics Power Distribution | Ground Vehicle ECUs |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTX1N6143AUS/TR | Same electrical specs but JANTX-level screening per MIL-PRF-19500/516; higher burn-in and environmental test rigor. | Required for programs specifying JANTX reliability level; not suitable where JAN-level qualification suffices. | Select when program spec mandates JANTX screening; otherwise JAN1N6143AUS/TR meets baseline military surge protection needs. |
| 1N6143AUS/TR | Commercial-grade version; identical electrical parameters but no MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification or screening. | Applicable only in non-military industrial systems where reliability requirements do not mandate military screening. | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial designs where hermetic packaging and 1500 W PPP remain essential, but MIL qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with JANTX1N6143AUS/TR and 1N6143AUS/TR, JAN1N6143AUS/TR delivers certified JAN-level reliability at lower cost than JANTX while maintaining full hermeticity and surge performance - making it optimal for defense subsystems requiring verified ruggedness without full JANTX overhead.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6143AUS/TR and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6143AUS/TR is 15.6 V, measured at 96.2 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform. This value represents the maximum voltage that appears across the device during a transient event and directly determines the stress imposed on downstream circuitry. The specification is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test methods and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official JAN1N6143AUS/TR datasheet.
Is JAN1N6143AUS/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N6143AUS/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the manufacturer's documentation, RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminations are available only on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N6143AUS/TR), not on JAN-level qualified parts. JAN1N6143AUS/TR uses standard tin/lead plating per MIL-PRF-19500/516 requirements, which permits lead content for enhanced solderability and reliability in high-reliability applications.
What does the "A" suffix in JAN1N6143AUS/TR signify?
The "A" suffix in JAN1N6143AUS/TR indicates standard voltage tolerance: ±5% on V(BR), ±5% on VC, and ±5% on IPP relative to non-A variants. Non-A parts (e.g., JAN1N6143US/TR) have 5% higher clamping voltage, 5% lower minimum breakdown voltage, and 5% lower peak pulse current - making the "A" version the preferred choice for tighter parametric control in precision surge protection designs.
Can JAN1N6143AUS/TR be used in place of JAN1N6142AUS/TR or JAN1N6144AUS/TR?
JAN1N6143AUS/TR is not a direct replacement for JAN1N6142AUS/TR (VWM = 7.6 V) or JAN1N6144AUS/TR (VWM = 9.1 V), as its 8.4 V working standoff voltage falls between them. Substitution requires verifying that 8.4 V VWM provides sufficient margin above system operating voltage and that 15.6 V VC remains compatible with downstream device absolute maximum ratings. No pin-to-pin or functional equivalence is claimed across this voltage series.
What is the thermal resistance and how does it affect PCB layout for JAN1N6143AUS/TR?
JAN1N6143AUS/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W, meaning each watt of dissipated surge energy raises the junction temperature by 5 °C above end-cap temperature. To maximize surge handling, PCB pads must provide low-thermal-resistance paths - typically achieved using ≥2 oz copper, thermal vias under end caps, and connection to internal ground/power planes. Layout must avoid narrow traces that impede heat transfer from either end cap.
