Product details
Overview
JAN1N6152AUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SQ-MELF (C) package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 20.6 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 37.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 40.1 A peak pulse current - deployed in avionics power rail protection and radar front-end surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6152AUS/TR datasheet, JAN1N6152AUS/TR pinout, JAN1N6152AUS/TR application, or JAN1N6152AUS/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified MIL-PRF-19500/516 Level JAN TVS specifications, thermal derating behavior, IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance context, and direct alternatives with documented VWM/VC/IPP trade-offs.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS operates without polarity marking and relies on hard-glass construction with internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds to sustain 1500 W transient energy per 10/1000 µs waveform while maintaining ≤5 µA standby current at 20.6 VWM. Its 0.09 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage ensures stable clamping across –55 °C to +175 °C junction range.
Thermal resistance from junction to end cap is 5.0 °C/W, enabling high-reliability operation under pulsed conditions up to TEC = 175 °C with linear derating above 150 °C. The device meets MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD insensitivity and exhibits inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 20.6 V - maximum continuous DC/repetitive peak voltage before conduction begins |
| VC @ IPP | 37.4 V at 40.1 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| Peak Pulse Power | 1500 W - survivable transient energy level per standard waveform |
| Breakdown Voltage V(BR) | 25.7 V @ 50 mA - guaranteed minimum avalanche onset voltage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6152US | No "A" suffix → 5% higher VC (39.3 V), 5% lower min. V(BR) (24.4 V), 5% lower IPP (38.1 A) | Slightly reduced clamping margin and surge capacity; acceptable where tighter VWM tolerance not required | Select when cost-sensitive commercial use permits relaxed electrical specs and no JAN-level qualification needed |
| JANTXV1N6152AUS | Same electrical specs but JANTXV-level screening: enhanced burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-19500/516 | Required for flight-critical subsystems where failure probability must be <10−6 per hour | Choose when system safety assessment mandates extended reliability validation beyond JAN requirements |
Compared with JAN1N6152AUS/TR, 1N6152US trades specification margin for cost in non-military settings, while JANTXV1N6152AUS adds screening rigor without altering electrical behavior - enabling tiered qualification paths for development, qualification, and production hardware.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6152AUS/TR at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6152AUS/TR is 37.4 V at 40.1 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test conditions and defines the maximum voltage seen by protected circuitry during a full-rated surge event. The JAN1N6152AUS/TR maintains this clamping performance across its qualified temperature range.
Is JAN1N6152AUS/TR suitable for bidirectional AC line protection?
Yes, JAN1N6152AUS/TR is explicitly designed as a bidirectional TVS with no polarity marking, making it suitable for AC-coupled or floating-rail applications such as telecom line interfaces or transformer-isolated power supplies. Its symmetric breakdown and clamping behavior ensures equal protection for positive and negative transients. The JAN1N6152AUS/TR's 20.6 VWM and 37.4 VC are specified for both polarities.
Does JAN1N6152AUS/TR meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge immunity?
Yes, JAN1N6152AUS/TR provides protection from secondary effects of lightning per select levels of IEC61000-4-5, as confirmed in the official Microsemi documentation. Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating and 37.4 V clamping voltage enable effective suppression of combination wave surges (1.2/50 µs voltage, 8/20 µs current) up to defined energy thresholds. The JAN1N6152AUS/TR is commonly deployed in Level 3 and Level 4 system-level lightning protection stages.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-end cap for JAN1N6152AUS/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-end cap (RθJEC) for JAN1N6152AUS/TR is 5.0 °C/W, as specified in the Microsemi datasheet. This parameter governs heat transfer from the silicon junction to the external mounting surface and is critical for calculating safe operating area during repetitive pulse conditions. The JAN1N6152AUS/TR uses tungsten slugs and hard-glass construction to achieve this low thermal resistance.
Can JAN1N6152AUS/TR be used in RoHS-compliant designs?
JAN1N6152AUS/TR is not RoHS compliant, as indicated by the absence of the "e3" suffix in its nomenclature. RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., 1N6152AUS e3) are available only in commercial-grade variants, not in JAN-level qualified parts. For programs requiring RoHS compliance, the JAN1N6152AUS/TR must be replaced with a commercial-grade alternative or approved exemption documentation applied.
