Product details
Overview
JAN1N6170US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed, bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JAN level. It provides 114.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 206.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at 7.3 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in high-reliability military avionics power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6170US/TR datasheet, JAN1N6170US/TR pinout, JAN1N6170US/TR application, or JAN1N6170US/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified ESD/EFT/IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection with Category 1 metallurgical bonds, hard-glass construction, and -55°C to +175°C junction temperature operation.
Technical Context
This TVS operates bidirectionally with no polarity marking and uses triple-layer passivation on a tungsten-slug glass package. Its breakdown voltage is 142.5 V minimum at 8 mA test current, with 0.105 %/°C temperature coefficient - enabling stable clamping across extended thermal environments.
The device sustains 1500 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs transients while limiting voltage to ≤206.3 V at 7.3 A. Thermal resistance from junction to end cap is 5.0 °C/W, supporting robust power dissipation in constrained aerospace PCB layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N6169US/TR | VWM = 98.8 V, VC = 178.8 V @ 8.4 A - lower clamping voltage but reduced standoff range. | Better suited for 24 V systems where tighter clamping margin is prioritized over higher voltage tolerance. | Select when system nominal voltage is ≤28 V and clamping headroom must be minimized. |
| JAN1N6171US/TR | VWM = 121.6 V, VC = 218.4 V @ 6.9 A - higher standoff but increased clamping voltage and reduced IPP. | Applicable in 115 VAC-derived DC rails where higher VWM prevents false triggering during line surges. | Choose for 100–120 V DC intermediate bus protection requiring extended standoff margin. |
Compared with JAN1N6170US/TR, JAN1N6169US/TR offers tighter clamping at lower voltage systems, while JAN1N6171US/TR extends standoff capability for higher-voltage rails - neither is pin-compatible due to identical SQ-MELF packaging but differing electrical thresholds requiring circuit revalidation.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage specification for JAN1N6170US/TR?
The clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6170US/TR is 206.3 V measured at 7.3 A peak pulse current (IPP) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the maximum voltage seen by downstream circuitry during a standardized surge event and is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test requirements. JAN1N6170US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full -55°C to +175°C operating junction temperature range.
Is JAN1N6170US/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N6170US/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions of this family (e.g., 1N6170AUS); the JAN-level qualification requires tin/lead plating per MIL-STD-202 and MIL-STD-750, and RoHS compliance is explicitly excluded for this reliability grade. JAN1N6170US/TR uses standard tin/lead terminal finish for enhanced solder joint reliability in high-vibration environments.
What does the "JAN" prefix indicate for JAN1N6170US/TR?
"JAN" denotes Joint Army-Navy qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/516, the highest reliability tier in this TVS series. JAN1N6170US/TR undergoes full military screening including extended burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing - exceeding commercial and JANTX-level requirements. This prefix confirms suitability for mission-critical applications where zero defect rates and long-term parametric stability are mandatory.
How is thermal management implemented for JAN1N6170US/TR?
JAN1N6170US/TR relies on end-cap conduction for thermal dissipation, with a specified junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W. Effective thermal management requires direct metal contact between the glass body's end caps and a thermally conductive surface - such as a large copper pour or chassis-mounted heatsink. PCB layout must avoid solder mask over end-cap contact areas to maintain low thermal impedance.
Does JAN1N6170US/TR require polarity-aware placement on the PCB?
No, JAN1N6170US/TR is a bidirectional TVS with no polarity marking and symmetric conduction characteristics in both directions. Its SQ-MELF package has identical electrical behavior regardless of orientation, eliminating placement errors during automated assembly. This symmetry is confirmed in the nomenclature section and electrical characteristics table, where V(BR) and VC values are specified without anode/cathode distinction.
