Product details
Overview
JAN1N6162US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed, bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JAN level. It provides 51.7 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 64.6 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and clamps transients to 97.1 V at 15.4 A peak pulse current (IPP) under 10/1000 µs waveform, delivering 1500 W peak pulse power for lightning surge and ESD protection in avionics power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6162US/TR datasheet, JAN1N6162US/TR pinout, JAN1N6162US/TR application, or JAN1N6162US/TR equivalent, this part supports high-reliability military systems requiring certified transient suppression with hermetic glass packaging, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, and IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance without polarity marking.
Technical Context
This TVS operates bidirectionally with no polarity-critical for AC-coupled signal lines and ungrounded bus protection. Its hard-glass construction and tungsten slug terminations enable stable thermal resistance (RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W) and operation from −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
The device meets MIL-PRF-19500/516 requirements for JAN-level reliability, including non-sensitivity to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. It delivers consistent clamping performance across its full temperature range with a V(BR) temperature coefficient of 0.100 %/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 51.7 V maximum continuous standoff voltage - defines highest DC or repetitive peak voltage before conduction begins |
| V(BR) min | 64.6 V at 20 mA - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage with margin |
| VC @ IPP | 97.1 V at 15.4 A (10/1000 µs) - limits downstream voltage stress during surge events |
| PPP | 1500 W peak pulse power - sustains high-energy transients like lightning-induced surges |
| ID @ VWM | 5 µA maximum standby leakage - minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on circuits |
| αV(BR) | 0.100 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature for precision clamp design |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extreme-environment aerospace and defense platforms |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N6162US | No /TR suffix - bulk pack instead of tape-and-reel; identical electrical specs and qualification | Same circuit function and environmental rating; differs only in packaging format | Select JAN1N6162US/TR for automated SMT assembly; choose JAN1N6162US for manual prototyping or low-volume hand soldering |
| 1N6162AUS | Commercial-grade version - not MIL-qualified; same VWM, V(BR), VC, and PPP values | Lacks JAN-level screening, traceability, and extended temperature validation; unsuitable for DoD contracts | Use 1N6162AUS only in non-military industrial designs where cost sensitivity outweighs certification requirements |
Compared with JAN1N6162US/TR, JAN1N6162US offers identical performance in bulk form for lab use, while 1N6162AUS reduces cost by omitting military screening-making it viable for commercial avionics subsystems where full MIL-PRF-19500/516 compliance isn't mandated.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6162US/TR and under what test condition is it specified?
The clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6162US/TR is 97.1 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 15.4 A using the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential surge waveform. This value reflects the maximum voltage seen across the device during a high-energy transient event and is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within their absolute maximum ratings. The specification is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test procedures.
Is JAN1N6162US/TR polarity-sensitive, and how should it be mounted on the PCB?
No, JAN1N6162US/TR is a bidirectional TVS with no polarity marking-both ends are electrically identical. It must be placed across the protected line and ground (or differential pair) without regard to orientation. The SQ-MELF package uses square-end-cap terminations for stable placement, and the absence of polarity eliminates orientation errors during automated assembly or rework of JAN1N6162US/TR.
Does JAN1N6162US/TR meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge immunity?
Yes, JAN1N6162US/TR provides protection from secondary effects of lightning per select levels in IEC61000-4-5, as confirmed in the official Microsemi documentation. Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs directly supports Level 3 and Level 4 surge immunity testing when properly integrated into a system-level protection scheme alongside appropriate filtering and layout practices for JAN1N6162US/TR.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for JAN1N6162US/TR, and how does it affect thermal design?
JAN1N6162US/TR has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +175 °C, with storage temperature matching that range. Its thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap (RθJEC) is 5.0 °C/W, meaning end-cap cooling is essential for high-duty-cycle operation. Designers must ensure adequate copper area and/or heatsinking at both end caps to maintain TJ ≤ 175 °C under worst-case surge repetition-especially relevant for repeated transients in JAN1N6162US/TR deployments.
How does the JAN qualification level differ from commercial versions like 1N6162AUS?
JAN qualification requires full MIL-PRF-19500/516 compliance-including rigorous screening for defects, lot traceability, extended temperature validation (−55 °C to +175 °C), and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. In contrast, 1N6162AUS is commercial-grade with identical electrical specs but no military screening or certification. JAN1N6162US/TR is mandatory for DoD contracts; 1N6162AUS suffices only for non-certified industrial use.
