Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode TVS, leveraging hard-glass construction with internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds to ensure radiation hardness and long-term reliability under extreme thermal cycling. Its breakdown voltage is 104.5 V minimum at 12 mA test current, with a temperature coefficient of 0.100 %/°C.
The JAN1N6167US/TR is specified for operation across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with thermal resistance junction-to-end cap (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W and maximum steady-state off-state power of 5.0 W at TEC = 150 °C - derated linearly to zero at 175 °C.

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 terminals; either end serves as cathode or anode depending on transient polarity - enables single-component protection of AC or differential lines. |
| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal and electrical interface | Direct thermal path to PCB pad or heatsink; RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W enables precise junction temperature estimation during surge events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional transient suppression | Protects both polarities of AC signals or ungrounded DC buses without external polarity coordination. |
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and internal delamination risk over 20+ year field life in vacuum or humid environments. |
| Category 1 metallurgical bonds | Guarantees bond integrity under shock, vibration, and thermal cycling per MIL-STD-883; required for JANS-level space qualification. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN qualification | Validated screening includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing - certifies suitability for Class H military hardware. |
Applications
| Avionics Power Bus Protection | Spacecraft DC Distribution |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS integrated into front-end protection networks for 4–20 mA current loops and ±10 V differential inputs. Use Value: SQ-MELF package enables automated placement and reflow compatibility, while hermetic seal prevents corrosion from H2S and salt-laden atmospheres. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6167US | Same VWM, VC, and PPP; qualified to higher JANTXV reliability level with extended screening and tighter parametric limits. | Required for programs specifying JANTXV-level documentation traceability and failure analysis reporting. | Select when full MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV compliance - including lot-specific test reports and enhanced burn-in - is mandated by system specification. |
| 1N6167AUS | Commercial-grade version; identical electrical specs but not MIL-qualified; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating available. | Suitable only for non-military industrial or telecom infrastructure where radiation hardness and extreme temperature endurance are not required. | Choose for cost-sensitive, high-volume production where military screening is unnecessary and RoHS compliance is mandatory. |
Compared with JAN1N6167US/TR, JANTXV1N6167US adds screening rigor without altering electrical behavior, while 1N6167AUS removes military qualification entirely - making the JAN variant the sole choice for programs requiring certified JAN-level reliability with full traceability and environmental resilience.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6167US/TR at its rated peak pulse current?
The clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6167US/TR is 151.3 V measured at 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value is guaranteed per Microsemi's T4-LDS-0278-1 datasheet and defines the maximum voltage imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The JAN1N6167US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full –55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range.
Is JAN1N6167US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
JAN1N6167US/TR features tin/lead-plated terminals and is rated for a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, aligning with SnPb reflow profiles. It is not qualified for lead-free reflow, as its terminal plating and internal metallurgy are optimized for traditional eutectic solder. For RoHS-compliant assembly, the commercial 1N6167AUS variant with matte-tin plating should be selected instead of JAN1N6167US/TR.
Does JAN1N6167US/TR have polarity markings, and how is it installed on the PCB?
No, JAN1N6167US/TR has no polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode - both terminals are functionally identical and interchangeable. During PCB layout, either end may be connected to line or return; orientation does not affect electrical performance. The SQ-MELF package uses square-end-cap geometry to ensure consistent placement and solder joint formation during automated assembly.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of JAN1N6167US/TR at 150 °C end-cap temperature?
JAN1N6167US/TR is rated for 5.0 W of steady-state off-state power (PD) at an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 150 °C, with linear derating to zero at 175 °C. This rating applies only when thermal resistance from junction to end cap (RθJEC) is maintained at 5.0 °C/W - typically achieved via direct copper pad contact and minimal thermal interface resistance. Ambient-based ratings are not specified for this device.
How does JAN1N6167US/TR meet IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements?
JAN1N6167US/TR supports IEC61000-4-5 compliance through its 1500 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs, which exceeds the energy thresholds required for Level 3 (1 kV line-earth, 2 kV line-line) and Level 4 (2 kV line-earth, 4 kV line-line) testing. Its 151.3 V clamping voltage ensures protected circuits remain below 160 V during surge events, preserving functionality of downstream 150 V-rated components. The device's hermetic seal and Category 1 bonds further guarantee performance retention after repeated surges.
