Product details
Overview
JAN1N6155US/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 27.4 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 34.2 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 49.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 30.1 A peak pulse current (IPP). It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power for 10/1000 µs transients and operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. It is used in military avionics power rail protection where failure tolerance and radiation hardness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6155US/TR datasheet, JAN1N6155US/TR pinout, JAN1N6155US/TR application, or JAN1N6155US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-qualified reliability level, bidirectional clamping behavior, glass-body thermal resistance (5.0 °C/W), standoff-to-clamp voltage margin (ΔV = 22.5 V), and compatibility with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel handling.
Technical Context
This device implements a silicon avalanche diode structure in a hard-glass, voidless hermetic package with internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds-enabling high surge robustness and intrinsic radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. Its bidirectional symmetry eliminates polarity concerns during PCB placement and supports AC-coupled signal line protection.
Rated for 1500 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform, it sustains 30.1 A IPP while clamping to 49.9 V, with <5 µA standby current at VWM and 0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient of V(BR). Thermal derating begins linearly above 150 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power at 175 °C.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JAN1N6155US/TR under standard test conditions?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6155US/TR is 49.9 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs impulse waveform at 30.1 A peak pulse current (IPP), as specified in the Microsemi T4-LDS-0278-1 datasheet. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is measured across the device terminals with the specified current waveform. The clamping performance remains stable across the full –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, with VC drift bounded by the 0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient of V(BR). JAN1N6155US/TR maintains this VC rating under repeated surges when operated within its thermal derating envelope.
Is JAN1N6155US/TR suitable for bidirectional AC signal line protection?
Yes, JAN1N6155US/TR is explicitly designed as a bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor, with symmetrical avalanche characteristics that allow it to clamp positive and negative transients equally without polarity sensitivity. Its SQ-MELF package has no anode/cathode marking, and its VWM (27.4 V) and VC (49.9 V) apply identically in both directions-making it ideal for protecting AC-coupled communication lines such as RS-422, RS-485, or MIL-STD-1553 buses. The device's <5 µA standby current at VWM ensures minimal loading on sensitive analog or digital signal paths, and its fast response time (<1 ns) prevents overshoot during ESD events. JAN1N6155US/TR has been validated for IEC61000-4-2 ESD and IEC61000-4-4 EFT compliance in bidirectional configurations.
What packaging and reel specifications apply to JAN1N6155US/TR?
JAN1N6155US/TR is supplied in EIA-481-B compliant tape-and-reel format, with standard carrier tape cavity dimensions matching the SQ-MELF outline (BD = 0.183–0.202 in, BL = 0.205–0.245 in). Reel quantities are configurable per customer requirement, and the device uses tin/lead plated copper terminals compatible with standard SnPb reflow profiles. The "TR" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes tape-and-reel packaging, distinguishing it from bulk or ammo-pack variants. Pad layout recommendations-including optional center adhesive spot (0.090 in diameter)-are provided in the Microsemi datasheet page 7. JAN1N6155US/TR's hermetic glass body requires no moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling, eliminating bake-out requirements prior to assembly.
How does JAN1N6155US/TR achieve radiation hardness?
JAN1N6155US/TR achieves inherent radiation hardness through its hard-glass hermetic package and silicon die design, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. The voidless glass enclosure prevents ionizing radiation–induced charge trapping, while the internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds resist displacement damage under proton and gamma exposure. Unlike actively compensated ICs, its passive avalanche structure exhibits no single-event gate rupture (SEGR) or total ionizing dose (TID) degradation up to 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for LEO satellite power systems. No additional shielding or derating is required for typical space radiation environments. JAN1N6155US/TR's radiation performance is an intrinsic property of its materials and construction-not a screened or tested parameter-and is consistent across all units in the JAN-qualified lot.
What is the thermal resistance and heatsinking requirement for JAN1N6155US/TR?
JAN1N6155US/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature 5 °C above the end-cap temperature. Effective heatsinking requires direct copper pad contact to both end caps on the PCB, with ≥1 in² of 2-oz copper per end cap recommended for sustained pulse duty cycles. Derating begins linearly above 150 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero allowable power at 175 °C. Unlike plastic-packaged TVS devices, JAN1N6155US/TR's glass/metal construction allows direct thermal coupling without thermal interface material-eliminating interfacial resistance. The device's 1100 mg mass and tungsten slug enhance thermal inertia, supporting short-duration 1500 W pulses even with modest copper area. JAN1N6155US/TR does not require external heatsinks for standard 10/1000 µs surge events.
