Overview
JANS1N6150AUS/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed, bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JANS reliability level. It provides 16.7 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 20.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 30.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 49.2 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in avionics power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N6150AUS/TR datasheet, JANS1N6150AUS/TR pinout, JANS1N6150AUS/TR application, or JANS1N6150AUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability certification, bidirectional surge suppression capability, glass-body thermal resistance (5.0 °C/W), and compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly under MIL-STD-750 test conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional clamping TVS diode with no polarity marking, relying on symmetric avalanche breakdown in both directions. Its hard-glass hermetic package incorporates tungsten slugs and Category 1 metallurgical bonds to ensure survivability under extreme thermal cycling and radiation environments.
It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power at 25 °C for 10/1000 µs transients while maintaining ≤5 µA standby current at VWM and a temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αV(BR)) of +0.085 %/°C - enabling stable clamping performance across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 16.7 V - maximum continuous reverse/forward voltage before conduction begins; sets operating margin for protected circuitry. |
| V(BR) min | 20.9 V @ 50 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset threshold; defines minimum overvoltage trigger point. |
| VC @ IPP | 30.5 V @ 49.2 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines worst-case stress on downstream components. |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak transient energy absorption capacity; enables protection against lightning-induced surges per IEC61000-4-5. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to end cap; supports high-power pulse dissipation without thermal runaway. |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 °C to +175 °C - extended operational and storage temperature range; validated for aerospace and defense platforms. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤5 µA - ultra-low leakage at rated standoff; prevents unintended loading of low-power sensor or control circuits. |

The JANS1N6150AUS/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.5 V when subjected to a 49.2 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The JANS1N6150AUS/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is JANS1N6150AUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANS1N6150AUS/TR is rated for solder temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, making it compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its tin/lead-plated terminals are designed for reliable wetting and joint formation under IPC-J-STD-020 conditions. Note that RoHS-compliant matte-tin versions are only available in commercial-grade variants, not JANS.
Does JANS1N6150AUS/TR require polarity-aware placement on the PCB?
No - the JANS1N6150AUS/TR is a bidirectional TVS diode with no polarity marking, and its SQ-MELF package has identical electrical behavior in either orientation. This eliminates orientation verification during automated placement and reduces assembly risk in high-density layouts where space is constrained.
How does JANS1N6150AUS/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification requirements?
JANS1N6150AUS/TR undergoes full JANS-level screening per MIL-PRF-19500/516, including lot acceptance testing, burn-in, thermal cycling, and hermeticity validation. Its Category 1 metallurgical bonds, voidless glass seal, and extended temperature range (–55 °C to +175 °C) are all verified during qualification - confirming suitability for mission-critical defense applications.
What is the steady-state power dissipation capability of JANS1N6150AUS/TR at 25 °C ambient?
At TA = 25 °C, the JANS1N6150AUS/TR supports a steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 3.0 W. This rating assumes adequate PCB thermal management; derating is linear above 150 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero at 175 °C. The device's 5.0 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance enables effective heat transfer in properly designed layouts.
