Product details
Overview
JANS1N6154US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SQ-MELF package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 25.1 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 45.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 32.8 A peak pulse current - deployed in avionics power rail protection and MIL-STD-461E transient suppression.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N6154US/TR datasheet, JANS1N6154US/TR pinout, JANS1N6154US/TR application, or JANS1N6154US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/516, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, -55°C to +175°C operating junction temperature, RoHS-compliant tin/lead termination (e3), and bidirectional ESD/EFT/IEC61000-4-5 secondary lightning protection capability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional voltage-clamping TVS diode with no polarity marking, relying on symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both directions to suppress transients above VWM = 25.1 V while maintaining <5 µA standby current. Its hard-glass hermetic seal and tungsten slug construction ensure zero internal voids and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform conditions, with thermal resistance RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W enabling stable operation up to TEC = 175 °C. The 0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αVBR) ensures predictable VBR = 31.4 V @ IBR = 40 mA across temperature extremes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 25.1 V - Maximum continuous DC or repetitive peak reverse voltage before conduction begins |
| VC @ IPP | 45.7 V at 32.8 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling for transient suppression without failure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6154US | Same VWM, VC, PPP, and package; qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS) | Approved for airborne but non-spaceflight platforms where full JANS radiation testing not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for space-qualified radiation hardness and extended lifetime validation |
| 1N6154AUS | Commercial-grade version; same electrical specs but no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification or radiation hardening | Limited to industrial or test equipment where environmental robustness is secondary to cost | Choose only for prototyping or non-mission-critical systems lacking MIL-spec requirements |
Compared with JANTXV1N6154US and 1N6154AUS, the JANS1N6154US/TR provides uniquely validated radiation tolerance, Category 1 bond integrity, and full JANS-level screening - making it the sole option for geosynchronous satellite power subsystems requiring >15-year field life under proton flux exposure.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANS1N6154US/TR under standard test conditions?
The JANS1N6154US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.7 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs impulse waveform at 32.8 A peak pulse current (IPP). This value is measured per MIL-STD-883 and is guaranteed across the full -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range. The clamping performance remains stable due to the device's voidless hermetic construction and Category 1 metallurgical bonds, ensuring consistent protection in high-reliability deployments.
Is JANS1N6154US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANS1N6154US/TR uses tin/lead (SnPb) plating per standard specification and is rated for solder temperature up to 260°C for 10 seconds - compatible with SnPb reflow profiles. While RoHS-compliant matte-tin versions exist for commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6154AUS), the JANS1N6154US/TR itself is not RoHS-compliant and requires Pb-based assembly. For lead-free compatibility, consult Microchip's qualified alternatives or engineering waivers.
Does JANS1N6154US/TR have polarity markings for PCB layout?
No, JANS1N6154US/TR is a bidirectional TVS diode with no polarity marking on the SQ-MELF glass body. Its symmetrical internal structure allows mounting in either orientation without affecting clamping behavior. The absence of polarity simplifies automated placement and eliminates risk of reverse installation - a key advantage in high-density avionics layouts where board real estate and assembly yield are critical.
What is the standby leakage current of JANS1N6154US/TR at rated standoff voltage?
At its rated working standoff voltage (VWM) of 25.1 V and ambient temperature of 25°C, the JANS1N6154US/TR exhibits a maximum standby current (ID) of 5 µA. This ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on military radios and reduces measurement error in precision sensor front-ends. Leakage remains below 100 µA even at 150°C junction temperature, supporting operation in engine bay or power converter environments.
How does JANS1N6154US/TR differ from commercial 1N6154AUS in terms of screening and reliability?
JANS1N6154US/TR undergoes full JANS-level screening per MIL-PRF-19500/516, including extended burn-in, radiation hardness assurance (RHA), and lot acceptance testing for spaceflight use. In contrast, 1N6154AUS is commercial-grade with no MIL-spec screening, no radiation testing, and relaxed environmental stress limits. The JANS variant also features voidless hermetic sealing and Category 1 metallurgical bonds - verified reliability elements absent in the commercial part.
