Product details
Overview
JANS1N6155US/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), 27.4 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 49.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 30.1 A peak pulse current - deployed in avionics power bus protection and missile guidance interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N6155US/TR datasheet, JANS1N6155US/TR pinout, JANS1N6155US/TR application, or JANS1N6155US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANS qualification level, bidirectional surge capability, hard-glass hermetic construction, temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (0.095 %/°C), and compatibility with high-reliability PCB assembly under MIL-STD-202 and MIL-STD-750 test conditions.
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 up to 1500 W. Its junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance is 5.0 °C/W, enabling stable operation up to +175 °C junction temperature when mounted on thermally optimized copper pads.
The JANS1N6155US/TR uses Category 1 internal metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation to ensure radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 and immunity to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. It meets IEC61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC61000-4-4 (EFT), and select levels of IEC61000-4-5 (lightning-induced surges).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 1500 W - sustains single high-energy transients without degradation in aerospace power rail protection |
| Working Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 27.4 V - maximum continuous DC or repetitive peak voltage before conduction begins |
| Clamping Voltage (VC @ IPP) | 49.9 V at 30.1 A - limits downstream circuit voltage during surge, protecting 30 V-rated ICs |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR @ IBR) | 34.2 V at 30 mA - precise avalanche onset point, with ±5% tolerance per "A" suffix designation |
| Temperature Coefficient of VBR | 0.095 %/°C - predictable VBR drift over -55 °C to +175 °C operating range |
| Junction Temperature Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in engine bay, seeker head, and launch environment |
| Steady-State Power (TEC = 150 °C) | 5.0 W - defines maximum continuous dissipation with end-cap thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (C) - hermetically sealed voidless hard glass case with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals; square-end-cap geometry enables automated placement and high mechanical robustness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Surge current path terminal | No polarity marking - symmetric terminals conduct identically in either direction during transient events |
| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal and mechanical interface | Primary heat dissipation path to PCB pad; requires direct solder contact for RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or floating signal/power lines without polarity concerns |
| Category 1 metallurgical bonds | Guarantees bond integrity under shock, vibration, and thermal cycling per MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANS level |
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or vacuum environments |
| Triple-layer passivation | Blocks surface leakage paths and enhances stability of VBR and ID over lifetime |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for space-qualified systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6155US | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level; higher screening (burn-in, temperature cycling) and tighter lot traceability | Preferred for flight-critical subsystems where extended reliability testing is mandated | Select when full JANTXV test documentation and lot-level conformance reports are required |
| 1N6155AUS | Commercial-grade version; identical VWM, VC, and PPP, but not MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualified | Suitable for ground-test equipment or non-flight hardware with cost-sensitive BOMs | Choose only for non-mission-critical prototypes or lab validation where MIL-spec is not enforced |
Compared with JANTXV1N6155US, the JANS1N6155US/TR offers the highest reliability tier (JANS) with full radiation hardness assurance and extended environmental stress screening, while 1N6155AUS provides identical electrical performance without military qualification - enabling cost-optimized design reuse across program phases.

FAQ
What is the JANS1N6155US/TR's clamping voltage and at what current is it specified?
The JANS1N6155US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 49.9 V, measured at a peak pulse current (IPP) of 30.1 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures downstream 30 V-rated components remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The JANS1N6155US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Is the JANS1N6155US/TR unidirectional or bidirectional, and how is polarity indicated?
The JANS1N6155US/TR is a bidirectional TVS diode with symmetrical avalanche characteristics in both forward and reverse directions. It carries no polarity marking on the SQ-MELF glass body, and both terminals function identically as anode/cathode depending on transient polarity. This eliminates orientation errors during automated placement and simplifies layout for AC-coupled or floating nodes.
What does the "JANS" prefix signify for the JANS1N6155US/TR?
The "JANS" prefix certifies that the JANS1N6155US/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at the highest reliability level - including extended environmental stress screening, radiation hardness verification per MicroNote 050, and full lot traceability. JANS devices are approved for use in spaceflight, strategic weapons, and other zero-failure-tolerance applications.
Can the JANS1N6155US/TR be used in RoHS-compliant assemblies?
No - the JANS1N6155US/TR uses tin/lead plating on its copper terminals and is not RoHS compliant. RoHS-compliant matte-tin versions are available only in commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6155AUS), not in JANS, JANTXV, JANTX, or JAN qualified parts. For JANS1N6155US/TR, leaded solder process compatibility and MIL-STD-202 compliance are maintained.
What is the thermal resistance path for the JANS1N6155US/TR, and how should it be mounted?
The JANS1N6155US/TR specifies a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W. To achieve this, both square end caps must be soldered directly to adequately sized copper pads - no adhesive-only mounting. The datasheet recommends center-spot adhesive only as optional reinforcement, not as primary thermal interface. Free-air derating curves assume proper end-cap thermal contact.
