Product details
Overview
JAN1N6152US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed, bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JAN level. It provides 20.6 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 25.7 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 37.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 40.1 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in avionics power bus protection.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6152US/TR datasheet, JAN1N6152US/TR pinout, JAN1N6152US/TR application, or JAN1N6152US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its military-grade reliability, bidirectional surge suppression capability, hard-glass SQ-MELF package, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, and IEC61000-4-2/-4-4/-4-5 compliance for ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced transients.
Technical Context
This TVS operates bidirectionally with no polarity marking and is designed for high-reliability DC power rail protection where failure is unacceptable. Its hard-glass SQ-MELF construction enables stable thermal performance with 5.0 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance and operation across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
The device delivers precise transient clamping via controlled avalanche breakdown, with 0.09 %/°C temperature coefficient of V(BR) and ≤5 µA standby current at VWM. It sustains 1500 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs impulse while maintaining <37.4 V clamping voltage up to 40.1 A IPP - critical for safeguarding downstream analog and digital circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 20.6 V - maximum continuous DC or repetitive peak voltage the device blocks without conduction |
| V(BR) min | 25.7 V @ 50 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation threshold ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events |
| VC @ IPP | 37.4 V @ 40.1 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge limits stress on protected ICs |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak transient energy handling capacity for MIL-STD-461/DO-160-level surges |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5 µA - ultra-low leakage preserves system efficiency and battery life in always-on circuits |
| TJ Range | –55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including aerospace and downhole systems |
| αV(BR) | 0.09 %/°C - low drift ensures stable clamping performance across wide temperature excursions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6152AUS | Commercial-grade version; same electrical specs but not MIL-qualified; RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminations available | Lacks JAN-level screening and temperature cycling validation; unsuitable for flight hardware | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs require identical clamping behavior without military certification |
| JANTX1N6152US/TR | Same SQ-MELF package and electrical parameters; JANTX qualification adds extended temperature screening and lot traceability | Approved for higher-tier defense platforms requiring enhanced reliability documentation and test records | Choose for programs requiring JANTX-level documentation, longer burn-in, and tighter parametric lot controls |
Compared with 1N6152AUS and JANTX1N6152US/TR, the JAN1N6152US/TR uniquely satisfies full JAN-level qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/516 - including mandatory lot acceptance tests and zero-defect screening - making it the only option approved for Class S spaceflight and critical avionics subsystems.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6152US/TR and under what test condition is it specified?
The clamping voltage of JAN1N6152US/TR is 37.4 V, measured at 40.1 A peak pulse current (IPP) using the standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and reflects the maximum voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case transients - a key parameter for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings. The JAN1N6152US/TR achieves this with tightly controlled avalanche characteristics and low dynamic impedance.
Is JAN1N6152US/TR suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, JAN1N6152US/TR is inherently bidirectional and requires no polarity marking, making it suitable for protecting AC-coupled or floating DC signal paths such as RS-485 buses, transformer-isolated interfaces, or differential sensor inputs. Its symmetrical breakdown behavior ensures equal clamping in both directions, and its ≤5 µA leakage at 20.6 V VWM prevents signal distortion. The JAN1N6152US/TR has been validated in bidirectional telecom and telemetry applications per IEC61000-4-5.
What does the "JAN" prefix signify for JAN1N6152US/TR?
"JAN" denotes Joint Army-Navy qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/516, the highest baseline reliability level for discrete semiconductors. For JAN1N6152US/TR, this includes rigorous screening: 168-hour burn-in, temperature cycling (–55 °C to +125 °C), steady-state life testing, and lot acceptance tests for parameters like V(BR), VC, and leakage. The JAN1N6152US/TR is approved for Class B and Class S space applications and is traceable to material lots and process steps.
How does JAN1N6152US/TR differ from commercial 1N6152AUS in terms of construction and reliability?
JAN1N6152US/TR uses identical voidless hermetic hard-glass SQ-MELF packaging and Category 1 metallurgical bonds as 1N6152AUS, but undergoes full JAN-level screening including extended burn-in, temperature cycling, and parametric lot acceptance testing. The JAN1N6152US/TR also features non-RoHS tin/lead terminations and is rated for operation up to +175 °C junction temperature - exceeding the commercial part's +150 °C limit. These differences make JAN1N6152US/TR suitable for flight-critical systems where zero latent defects are mandated.
Can JAN1N6152US/TR be used in high-humidity or corrosive environments?
Yes, JAN1N6152US/TR is explicitly designed for harsh environments: its voidless hermetic glass seal prevents moisture ingress, and its tungsten slug construction resists hydrogen embrittlement and H₂S corrosion. The device is rated for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C and has demonstrated long-term stability in salt fog and high-humidity accelerated life testing. In downhole and maritime applications, the JAN1N6152US/TR maintains parameter integrity where non-hermetic TVS devices would degrade.
