Product details

Overview

JAN1N6160AUS/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed, bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JAN level. It provides 42.6 V working peak standoff voltage (VWM), 53.2 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 20 mA, and clamps to 77.0 V at 19.5 A peak pulse current (IPP) for 10/1000 µs waveform, delivering 1500 W peak pulse power in high-reliability military and aerospace systems.

For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6160AUS/TR datasheet, JAN1N6160AUS/TR pinout, JAN1N6160AUS/TR application, or JAN1N6160AUS/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 ratio (42.6 V → 77.0 V), and compatibility with surface-mount reflow profiles up to 260 °C.

Technical Context

This TVS operates as a bidirectional silicon avalanche diode with Category 1 metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation, enabling robust ESD/EFT protection per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4. Its hard-glass hermetic seal ensures zero internal voids and immunity to moisture ingress under extreme thermal cycling.

The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αV(BR)) of 0.095 %/°C and supports junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C. Standby current remains ≤5 µA at VWM, and clamping performance is specified for 10/1000 µs impulses with <0.01% impulse repetition rate.

Key Specifications

Parameter Value and Actual Design Meaning
VWM 42.6 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction begins; defines circuit operating margin before clamping.
V(BR) min 53.2 V @ 20 mA - Minimum avalanche breakdown threshold; ensures predictable turn-on under transient stress.
VC @ IPP 77.0 V @ 19.5 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs.
PPP 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables protection against lightning-induced surges per IEC61000-4-5.
RθJEC 5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance; critical for thermal design when mounted to heat-spreading copper pads.
TJ/TSTG –55 °C to +175 °C - Full military-grade operating and storage temperature range; validated for space and avionics use.
ID @ VWM ≤5 µA - Ultra-low leakage at rated standoff; prevents signal path loading or battery drain in low-power systems.

Pinout & Package

Package: SQ-MELF (Square-End-Cap Metal Electrode Leadless Face), 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 avalanche junction No functional distinction between ends; either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity.
End Cap (both ends) Thermal and electrical interface Directly contacts PCB copper for heat dissipation; requires full-surface solder pad contact per package drawing.

Key Features

Feature Design Value
Voidless hermetic glass seal Eliminates internal moisture paths and intermetallic degradation, ensuring >20-year field life in humid or vacuum environments.
Category 1 metallurgical bonds Guarantees bond integrity under mechanical shock (>1000 g) and thermal shock (–55 °C ↔ +125 °C), required for JANS-level qualification.
Triple-layer passivation Prevents surface leakage and contamination-induced parameter drift, maintaining stable V(BR) and ID over lifetime.
MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN qualification Validated screening includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing per military standard-no commercial-grade compromises.

Applications

Avionics Power Distribution Military Radio Front-End

Use Scenario: Protection of 28 V DC bus inputs in airborne mission computers against load dump and induced lightning transients.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element placed across input rails to limit voltage excursions to <77 V during 1500 W surges.

Use Scenario: Surge suppression on RF transceiver antenna ports exposed to electrostatic discharge and nearby EMP events.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response transient shunt connected between RF port and ground plane, leveraging sub-nanosecond response time.

Use Value: Maintains signal integrity below –10 dBm noise floor while surviving 15 kV ESD per IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 without parameter shift.

Satellite Command & Data Handling Tactical Vehicle Control Systems

Use Scenario: Input protection for radiation-hardened microcontrollers receiving telemetry commands via RS-422 interfaces in LEO orbit.

Use Scenario: 24 V CAN bus node protection in armored vehicle ECUs subjected to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) and automotive EFT.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rail clamp on power entry point, coordinated with secondary polymer PTC for fault isolation.

Use Value: Survives repeated 100 V/100 ms load dump events without parametric shift, verified per MIL-STD-1275B.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.

Alternative Part Technical Difference Application Difference Selection Advice
1N6160US/TR Commercial-grade version; lacks MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification, no JAN screening, higher VC tolerance (+5%), lower IPP (–5%). Approved only for non-mission-critical industrial controls; not suitable for flight hardware or nuclear command systems. Select only when cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements and environmental stress is bounded to <85 °C ambient.
JANTXV1N6160AUS/TR Higher reliability screening (JANTXV level); tighter V(BR) distribution, extended temperature validation, enhanced lot traceability. Required for Class S spaceflight components and DoD Tier 1 avionics; adds ~35% unit cost and longer lead time. Choose when system safety integrity level (SIL) mandates failure-in-time <1 FIT or when radiation hardness per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 is required.

Compared with JAN1N6160AUS/TR, the commercial 1N6160US/TR trades qualification rigor for cost and availability, while JANTXV1N6160AUS/TR extends the same core TVS architecture into higher assurance domains-enabling tiered BOM strategies across prototype, qualification, and production phases.

FAQ

What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6160AUS/TR under a 10/1000 µs surge?

The JAN1N6160AUS/TR clamps to a maximum of 77.0 V when subjected to a 19.5 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per MIL-STD-883 Method 3012 and is guaranteed across the full –55 °C to +125 °C operating range. The clamping voltage directly limits stress on downstream components such as DC/DC converters and FPGAs in JAN1N6160AUS/TR-protected circuits.

Is JAN1N6160AUS/TR RoHS compliant?

No, JAN1N6160AUS/TR is not RoHS compliant. Its terminations use tin/lead plating per MIL-PRF-19500/516 requirements, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin versions are available only in commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6160AUS/TR with e3 suffix). The JAN-level qualification mandates legacy termination chemistry for proven reliability under thermal cycling and high-humidity conditions.

What does the "A" suffix in JAN1N6160AUS/TR indicate?

The "A" suffix in JAN1N6160AUS/TR denotes standard voltage tolerance: ±5% on V(BR), ±5% on VC, and ±5% on IPP. Non-A versions (e.g., JAN1N6160US/TR) have looser tolerances-5% higher VC, 5% lower minimum V(BR), and 5% lower IPP-which reduce design margin for precision clamping applications. The "A" variant ensures tighter parametric control essential for MIL-qualified designs.

Can JAN1N6160AUS/TR be used in surface-mount reflow processes?

Yes, JAN1N6160AUS/TR is qualified for standard SnPb reflow profiles with a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its SQ-MELF glass body withstands thermal shock without cracking, and the end-cap terminations maintain wetting integrity. Reflow must follow Microsemi's recommended pad layout (0.205″ × 0.310″) and avoid excessive board warpage that could induce mechanical stress on the glass envelope.

How does JAN1N6160AUS/TR differ from commercial 1N6160US/TR beyond qualification level?

Beyond MIL-PRF-19500/516 screening, JAN1N6160AUS/TR features tighter V(BR) distribution (±5% vs. +5%/–10%), lower standby current (≤5 µA vs. ≤10 µA), and guaranteed performance at +175 °C junction temperature-whereas 1N6160US/TR is rated only to +150 °C. These differences directly impact long-term stability in high-temperature avionics bays and radiation-burdened satellite chassis where JAN1N6160AUS/TR is specified.
