Product details
Overview
JAN1N6149US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JAN reliability level, with 15.2 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 19.0 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 27.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 54.2 A peak pulse current (IPP) for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in avionics power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6149US/TR datasheet, JAN1N6149US/TR pinout, JAN1N6149US/TR application, or JAN1N6149US/TR equivalent, this military-grade TVS delivers verified ESD/EFT/IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, triple-layer passivation, and RoHS-compliant tin-lead termination - critical for high-reliability aerospace and defense systems requiring zero-failure tolerance.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional clamping diode with no polarity marking, leveraging hard-glass hermetic construction and tungsten slugs for thermal robustness. Its 5.0 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance enables stable 1500 W peak pulse power handling under 10/1000 µs transients at 25 °C ambient.
The JAN1N6149US/TR exhibits a +0.085 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αV(BR)), ensuring predictable V(BR) drift across –55 to +175 °C operating range. Standby current remains ≤5 µA at 15.2 V VWM, supporting low-leakage system-level protection without compromising standby power integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 15.2 V - maximum continuous dc or repetitive peak voltage the device blocks without clamping; sets upper limit for protected circuit operating voltage. |
| V(BR) min | 19.0 V @ 65 mA - guaranteed minimum voltage at which avalanche conduction begins; defines turn-on threshold under surge conditions. |
| VC @ IPP | 27.7 V @ 54.2 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient; determines maximum stress imposed on downstream ICs. |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak pulse power rating for 10/1000 µs waveform; quantifies transient energy absorption capability. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5 µA - leakage current at rated standoff voltage; ensures minimal power loss and signal integrity in always-on protection paths. |
| αV(BR) | +0.085 %/°C - temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage; enables accurate V(BR) derating over –55 to +175 °C junction range. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to end cap; supports direct heat sinking to PCB copper or chassis for sustained pulse handling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (C package), hermetically sealed voidless hard glass with tungsten slugs; terminals are tin/lead plated copper; no polarity marking due to bidirectional symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (symmetrical) | Bidirectional clamping node | Either end serves as cathode or anode depending on transient polarity; no orientation required during placement. |
| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal and electrical interface | Directly contacts PCB pads for both heat dissipation and current return path; requires full-surface solder wetting per MIL-STD-202. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates internal moisture ingress and delamination risk over 20+ year field life in vacuum or humid environments. |
| Category 1 metallurgical bonds | Guarantees bond integrity under mechanical shock (100 g), vibration (10–2000 Hz), and thermal cycling (–55 to +125 °C). |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage and corrosion-induced parameter drift in salt fog or airborne contaminant exposure. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN qualification | Validated screening includes burn-in, temperature cycling, hermeticity testing, and lot acceptance test per military standard. |
| Non-sensitive to ESD | Withstands ≥25 kV HBM per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 without parameter shift - eliminates ESD handling constraints in assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6149US | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level with extended screening (e.g., 100% burn-in, enhanced thermal cycling). | Required for programs mandating JANTXV reliability level (e.g., DoD Class H systems); higher cost and longer lead time. | Select when full JANTXV qualification is contractually mandated; not drop-in for JAN-level BOMs without requalification. |
| 1N6149AUS | Commercial-grade version with identical VWM, V(BR), VC, and IPP, but no MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification or screening. | Suitable for non-military industrial prototypes or ground-test equipment where reliability requirements are less stringent. | Use for cost-sensitive development phases; cannot substitute in flight or deployed hardware without redesign and re-qualification. |
Compared with JANTXV1N6149US and 1N6149AUS, the JAN1N6149US/TR offers the optimal balance of military-grade reliability (JAN level), proven field performance in space-qualified systems, and availability for production ramp - making it the preferred choice for certified aerospace hardware where failure is not an option.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6149US/TR and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage of JAN1N6149US/TR is 27.7 V, measured at 54.2 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential transient waveform. This value is guaranteed per Microsemi's T4-LDS-0278-1 specification sheet and reflects the maximum voltage seen across the device during surge events - a critical parameter for ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits. The JAN1N6149US/TR achieves this clamping performance while maintaining bidirectional symmetry and hermetic reliability.
Is JAN1N6149US/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N6149US/TR is not RoHS compliant; its terminations use tin/lead plating per MIL-PRF-19500/516 requirements for military reliability. RoHS-compliant matte-tin versions are only available on commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6149AUS), not on JAN-level parts. The JAN1N6149US/TR meets legacy military specifications where leaded finishes are mandated for solder joint integrity and thermal fatigue resistance in high-reliability applications.
What does "JAN" mean in JAN1N6149US/TR?
"JAN" denotes Joint Army-Navy qualification - the baseline military reliability level under MIL-PRF-19500/516, including screening for hermeticity, temperature cycling, and electrical parameter verification. The JAN1N6149US/TR undergoes full JAN-level testing, distinguishing it from commercial (no prefix), JANTX (enhanced screening), or JANS (space-level) variants. This qualification makes the JAN1N6149US/TR suitable for ground and airborne defense systems where failure is unacceptable.
Can JAN1N6149US/TR be used in place of 1N6149AUS in a design?
JAN1N6149US/TR shares identical electrical parameters (VWM = 15.2 V, V(BR) = 19.0 V, VC = 27.7 V) with 1N6149AUS but adds MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN qualification, hermetic sealing, and Category 1 metallurgical bonds. Substituting JAN1N6149US/TR for 1N6149AUS is electrically safe and improves reliability - however, the JAN1N6149US/TR requires adherence to military procurement controls and may impact cost, lead time, and documentation traceability in commercial designs.
What is the thermal resistance of JAN1N6149US/TR and why does it matter?
JAN1N6149US/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer from the silicon junction to the PCB pads or chassis. This low thermal resistance is essential for sustaining repeated 1500 W transients without thermal runaway - especially in compact layouts where airflow is limited. Designers must ensure full-surface soldering of both end caps to maximize thermal conduction, as specified in Microsemi's pad layout guidelines for the SQ-MELF package.
