Product details
Overview
JANS1N6143AUS/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JANS level. It provides 8.4 V working peak standoff voltage (VWM), 10.45 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 125 mA, and clamps transients to 15.6 V at 96.2 A (10/1000 µs pulse), delivering 1500 W peak pulse power for lightning surge and ESD protection in high-reliability aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N6143AUS/TR datasheet, JANS1N6143AUS/TR pinout, JANS1N6143AUS/TR application, or JANS1N6143AUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level military qualification, bidirectional clamping behavior, 1500 W 10/1000 µs rating, -55°C to +175°C operating junction temperature range, and SQ-MELF "C" package compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This TVS operates bidirectionally with no polarity marking and uses hard-glass construction with internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds for radiation hardness and long-term reliability under thermal cycling. Its clamping voltage of 15.6 V at 96.2 A ensures predictable overvoltage limiting during IEC61000-4-5 lightning-induced surges and IEC61000-4-2 ESD events.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αV(BR)) of 0.07 %/°C and supports steady-state off-state power dissipation up to 3.0 W at 25°C ambient, derating linearly to zero at 175°C junction temperature. Thermal resistance from junction to end cap is 5.0 °C/W, enabling effective heat transfer in constrained board layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 8.4 V - Maximum continuous reverse/forward voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating window in protected circuit. |
| V(BR) min | 10.45 V @ 125 mA - Minimum voltage at which device enters controlled avalanche; ensures consistent turn-on across temperature and lot. |
| VC @ IPP | 15.6 V @ 96.2 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamped voltage during worst-case surge; determines maximum stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak transient energy handling capability; enables protection against Level 4 IEC61000-4-5 surges. |
| TJ Range | -55°C to +175°C - Full military-grade junction temperature range; validated for space, avionics, and engine-mounted electronics. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance; supports direct thermal coupling to heatsink or metal-core PCB. |
| ID @ VWM | 20 µA - Low leakage current at standoff voltage; minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF "C" - Voidless hermetically sealed hard-glass case with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6143AUS | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS); RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W unchanged. | Approved for non-flight-critical ground support equipment; not cleared for launch-vehicle or orbital systems. | Select when full JANS qualification is not mandated and cost reduction is prioritized without sacrificing clamping performance. |
| 1N6143AUS (commercial) | Identical VWM, V(BR), VC, and PPP; lacks MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification and radiation hardness documentation. | Limited to benign-environment industrial controls; unsuitable for aerospace, defense, or nuclear applications. | Use only for prototyping or commercial subsystems where traceability, burn-in, and radiation data are not required. |
Compared with JANTXV1N6143AUS and 1N6143AUS, the JANS1N6143AUS/TR delivers verified radiation tolerance, extended temperature validation, and full JANS-level screening-making it the sole choice for systems requiring guaranteed operation after TID exposure and in sustained 175°C ambient conditions.

FAQ
What is the JANS1N6143AUS/TR's qualification level per MIL-PRF-19500/516?
The JANS1N6143AUS/TR is fully qualified to the JANS level under MIL-PRF-19500/516, the highest reliability tier for discrete semiconductors. This includes rigorous screening for thermal shock, mechanical shock, vibration, and long-term life testing. The JANS1N6143AUS/TR undergoes lot acceptance testing per Method 5005 and environmental stress screening per Method 5007, ensuring suitability for flight-critical and nuclear applications.
Does the JANS1N6143AUS/TR have polarity markings, and how is it mounted?
No, the JANS1N6143AUS/TR is a bidirectional TVS with no polarity markings-either end may be connected to either side of the protected line. It mounts in the SQ-MELF "C" package using standard reflow profiles for tin/lead terminations, with full end-cap solder coverage required to ensure thermal and electrical integrity. Pad layout follows Microsemi's recommended dimensions (BD: 0.183–0.202 in, BL: 0.205–0.245 in).
What is the clamping voltage of the JANS1N6143AUS/TR under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JANS1N6143AUS/TR clamps to a maximum of 15.6 V when subjected to a 96.2 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed across the full -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range and forms the basis for downstream IC protection margining in designs such as avionics power inputs and sensor interfaces.
Is the JANS1N6143AUS/TR RoHS compliant?
No, the JANS1N6143AUS/TR is not RoHS compliant. Its terminations use tin/lead plating per MIL-STD-1581, consistent with JANS-level reliability requirements. RoHS-compliant matte-tin versions are available only in commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6143AUS), not in JANS-qualified parts.
How does the JANS1N6143AUS/TR perform under radiation exposure?
The JANS1N6143AUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, demonstrating stable VWM, V(BR), and VC parameters after exposure to ≥100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose. This makes it suitable for satellite power systems, nuclear instrumentation, and other high-radiation environments where parametric shift must remain within specification limits.
