Overview
JAN1N6161US/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 47.1 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 58.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 85.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at 17.6 A peak pulse current (IPP); it delivers 1500 W peak pulse power for 10/1000 µs transients in high-reliability military avionics power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6161US/TR datasheet, JAN1N6161US/TR pinout, JAN1N6161US/TR application, or JAN1N6161US/TR equivalent, this part supports ESD/EFT/IEC61000-4-2/4-4 compliance, lightning secondary-effect mitigation per IEC61000-4-5, and operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature with Category 1 metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a hard-glass, voidless hermetic construction with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals, enabling robust surge handling without degradation under repeated 10/1000 µs transients. Its bidirectional architecture provides symmetrical clamping for AC-coupled or floating signal/power lines, and its Category 1 internal metallurgical bonds ensure mechanical integrity under thermal cycling and shock.
The device exhibits a 0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αV(BR)), supporting stable clamping performance over wide temperature ranges. It is rated for 5.0 W off-state power at TEC = 150 °C with linear derating to zero at 175 °C, and maintains ≤5 µA standby current (ID) at VWM, minimizing leakage in always-on protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 47.1 V - Maximum continuous DC/repetitive peak voltage before conduction begins; sets operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| V(BR) min | 58.9 V @ 20 mA - Minimum voltage at which device enters avalanche breakdown; defines lower bound of functional clamping window. |
| VC @ IPP | 85.3 V @ 17.6 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs transient; determines maximum stress imposed on protected circuitry. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power rating; enables suppression of high-energy surges such as lightning-induced coupling. |
| ID @ VWM | 5 µA - Standby leakage current; ensures minimal power loss and no false triggering in low-power systems. |
| αV(BR) | 0.100 %/°C - Temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage; allows predictable V(BR) shift across –55 °C to +175 °C operation. |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 °C to +175 °C - Junction and storage temperature range; supports deployment in extreme-environment aerospace and defense platforms. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (C package), hermetically sealed voidless hard glass with tungsten slugs; dimensions: BD = 0.183–0.202 in (4.65–5.13 mm), BL = 0.205–0.245 in (5.21–6.22 mm), ECT = 0.019–0.028 in (0.48–0.71 mm).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6161US | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level with enhanced screening (e.g., 100% burn-in, extended temperature testing). | Required for programs mandating JANTXV reliability assurance (e.g., DoD Class H systems). | Select when higher reliability screening and tighter parametric limits are contractually required. |
| 1N6161AUS | Commercial-grade version; same VWM, V(BR), VC, and PPP, but not MIL-qualified and RoHS-compliant (matte-tin plating). | Suitable for non-military industrial designs where cost and RoHS compliance outweigh military qualification needs. | Choose for commercial aerospace derivatives or ground-based test equipment where MIL-spec is unnecessary. |
Compared with JAN1N6161US/TR, JANTXV1N6161US adds screening rigor without altering electrical behavior, while 1N6161AUS trades qualification for RoHS compliance and lower cost-making the JAN variant optimal for legacy military hardware requiring traceable JAN-level sourcing and leaded terminations.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6161US/TR and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6161US/TR is 85.3 V, measured at 17.6 A peak pulse current (IPP) using a standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform per MIL-STD-750 Method 3019. This value represents the maximum voltage seen across the device during surge conduction and directly determines the stress imposed on protected circuitry. The JAN1N6161US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its 0.100 %/°C αV(BR).
Is JAN1N6161US/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N6161US/TR is not RoHS compliant. It uses traditional tin/lead plating on copper terminals, consistent with MIL-PRF-19500/516 requirements for JAN-level devices. RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., 1N6161AUS) are available only in commercial-grade variants with matte-tin plating and lack military qualification. The JAN1N6161US/TR remains intentionally non-RoHS to preserve solderability, thermal fatigue resistance, and proven field reliability in legacy defense systems.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in JAN1N6161US/TR?
"TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard, enabling automated SMT placement. The JAN1N6161US/TR is supplied in moisture-sensitive packaging with dry nitrogen environment and humidity indicator cards, conforming to J-STD-033 requirements for hermetic devices. This format supports high-volume manufacturing while preserving the device's hermetic integrity until reflow-critical for maintaining the JAN1N6161US/TR's MIL-qualified reliability in production lines.
How does JAN1N6161US/TR differ from commercial 1N6161US?
JAN1N6161US/TR is screened and tested to MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN-level requirements-including lot acceptance tests, parametric verification, and environmental stress screening-while the commercial 1N6161US lacks military qualification, has wider parameter tolerances, and uses non-hermetic packaging. The JAN1N6161US/TR also features leaded terminations and voidless hermetic sealing, whereas the commercial version may use alternate plating or packaging incompatible with high-reliability deployment.
Can JAN1N6161US/TR be used in place of JAN1N6160US or JAN1N6162US?
No-JAN1N6161US/TR is not a direct substitute for JAN1N6160US (VWM = 42.6 V) or JAN1N6162US (VWM = 51.7 V), as each part targets a distinct standoff voltage window. Substitution would compromise protection margin: using JAN1N6161US/TR where JAN1N6160US is specified risks premature clamping, while replacing JAN1N6162US risks insufficient clamping headroom. The JAN1N6161US/TR must be selected based on exact system VWM requirements (47.1 V) and verified transient profile compatibility.
