Product details
Overview
JAN1N6171AUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SQ-MELF (C) package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 121.6 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 218.4 V clamping voltage (VC @ 6.9 A). It operates across –55 °C to +175 °C and serves as primary surge protection in avionics power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N6171AUS/TR datasheet, JAN1N6171AUS/TR pinout, JAN1N6171AUS/TR application, or JAN1N6171AUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN-level qualification, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, triple-layer passivation, and IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance for ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced transients.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a hard-glass, voidless hermetic construction with tungsten slugs and internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds-enabling radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 and immunity to MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 ESD. Its bidirectional architecture provides symmetrical clamping without polarity marking.
It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs waveform, with thermal resistance junction-to-end cap (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W and linear derating above 150 °C end-cap temperature. Standby current is ≤5 µA at 121.6 VWM, and breakdown occurs at minimum 152.0 V @ 8 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 121.6 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA; sets operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| VC @ IPP | 218.4 V @ 6.9 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines maximum stress on protected downstream circuitry. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; enables robust protection against high-energy transients like lightning surges. |
| V(BR) min | 152.0 V @ 8 mA - Minimum breakdown voltage; ensures reliable conduction onset above VWM with defined margin. |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 °C to +175 °C - Extended junction/storage temperature range; supports operation in harsh military and aerospace environments. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - Low thermal resistance to end cap; allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink in high-power transient events. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (C) - Voidless hermetically sealed hard-glass case with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals; square-end-cap geometry enables precise automated placement and high mechanical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Transient current path | No polarity marking; symmetric conduction in either direction; both terminals serve identical clamping function. |
| End Cap (glass body contact) | Thermal interface | Primary heat dissipation path to PCB; requires direct thermal pad contact for RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W performance. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N6170AUS/TR | 114.0 VWM, 206.3 VC @ 7.3 A, 142.5 V(BR) min - lower clamping and standoff vs. JAN1N6171AUS/TR. | Preferred where system max operating voltage is ≤110 V; tighter margin between VWM and VC improves protection headroom. | Select when design requires lower clamping voltage and can tolerate reduced standoff margin relative to 121.6 V. |
| JAN1N6172AUS/TR | 136.8 VWM, 245.7 VC @ 6.1 A, 171.0 V(BR) min - higher standoff and clamping than JAN1N6171AUS/TR. | Suitable for 130–150 V nominal systems (e.g., 48 V telecom backup buses); wider VWM–VC gap increases let-through energy. | Choose for higher-voltage DC systems needing extended standoff while retaining MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN qualification. |
Compared with JAN1N6171AUS/TR, JAN1N6170AUS/TR offers lower clamping at reduced standoff, improving protection for sub-115 V systems, while JAN1N6172AUS/TR extends operational range to 136.8 VWM-making it optimal for higher-bus-voltage platforms where tighter VC margin is less critical than voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JAN1N6171AUS/TR and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage (VC) of JAN1N6171AUS/TR is 218.4 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 6.9 A using a standardized 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value reflects the maximum voltage that appears across the device during a surge event and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry. The test condition is specified in the Microsemi T4-LDS-0278-1 datasheet and verified per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test protocols.
Is JAN1N6171AUS/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N6171AUS/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the Microsemi nomenclature guide, the "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions of this family; JAN-level parts like JAN1N6171AUS/TR use standard tin/lead plating and are exempt from RoHS due to their military qualification status and intended use in high-reliability applications.
What does the "A" suffix in JAN1N6171AUS/TR indicate?
The "A" suffix in JAN1N6171AUS/TR denotes the standard voltage tolerance version: it specifies guaranteed minimum breakdown voltage (152.0 V), maximum clamping voltage (218.4 V), and minimum peak pulse current (6.9 A). Non-A versions have 5% higher VC, 5% lower minimum V(BR), and 5% lower IPP-making the "A" variant the preferred choice for designs requiring tighter parametric control and higher surge margin.
Can JAN1N6171AUS/TR be used in surface-mount reflow processes?
Yes, JAN1N6171AUS/TR supports standard SMT reflow with a peak solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, as confirmed in the Microsemi maximum ratings table. Its hard-glass SQ-MELF package and tungsten slug construction withstand thermal shock typical of leaded and lead-free profiles. Proper pad layout per the datasheet's mechanical drawing is required to ensure mechanical stability and thermal performance.
How does JAN1N6171AUS/TR differ from commercial-grade 1N6171AUS?
JAN1N6171AUS/TR differs from commercial-grade 1N6171AUS in three key ways: it is screened and tested to MIL-PRF-19500/516 JAN-level reliability standards, uses non-RoHS tin/lead terminations, and undergoes additional environmental and electrical screening including burn-in and lot acceptance testing. These enhancements ensure zero-defect delivery and long-term stability in mission-critical deployments where commercial parts are insufficient.
