Product details
Overview
JANS1N6167US/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, voidless, bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JANS reliability level. It provides 86.6 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 104.5 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 12 mA, 151.3 V clamping voltage (VC) at 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPP), and 1500 W peak pulse power for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in high-reliability military avionics power bus protection.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N6167US/TR datasheet, JANS1N6167US/TR pinout, JANS1N6167US/TR application, or JANS1N6167US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level radiation hardness, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, 175 °C max junction temperature, and SQ-MELF package compatibility with automated surface-mount assembly under MIL-STD-202 test conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional voltage-clamping protector with no polarity marking, relying on symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both directions. Its hard-glass construction and tungsten slug terminations enable stable thermal resistance (RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W) and immunity to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
The JANS1N6167US/TR delivers IEC61000-4-2 ESD and IEC61000-4-4 EFT protection while meeting lightning-induced surge requirements per select IEC61000-4-5 levels. Its 0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient of V(BR) ensures predictable clamping behavior across –55 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6167US | Same VWM (86.6 V), VC (151.3 V), and PPP (1500 W); qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS) | Lacks full JANS radiation hardness verification and lot traceability; not approved for Class S spaceflight use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs requirement for TID > 100 krad(Si) and single-event effect characterization |
| 1N6167AUS | Commercial-grade version; identical electrical specs but unqualified to MIL-PRF-19500; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating available | Not suitable for environments requiring MIL-spec environmental testing or long-term parametric stability beyond 10 years | Choose for ground-based industrial controls where JANS-level reliability and radiation tolerance are unnecessary |
Compared with JANS1N6167US/TR, JANTXV1N6167US offers reduced qualification cost and lead time but omits radiation hardness validation, while 1N6167AUS sacrifices military screening entirely for RoHS compliance and lower unit price - making JANS1N6167US/TR the sole option for mission-critical airborne and spaceborne deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANS1N6167US/TR under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JANS1N6167US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 151.3 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform at 9.9 A peak pulse current (IPP). This value is measured per MIL-STD-750 Method 3013 and guarantees the protected circuit will not experience voltage stress exceeding this level during standardized surge events. The JANS1N6167US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C.
Is JANS1N6167US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
JANS1N6167US/TR uses tin/lead-plated copper terminals and is rated for solder temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, conforming to J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. While it supports standard SnPb reflow profiles, it is not lead-free process qualified - RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating is only available on commercial-grade 1N6167AUS, not on JANS1N6167US/TR. The JANS1N6167US/TR must be processed using Sn63/Pb37 solder paste and profile.
Does JANS1N6167US/TR require polarity-aware PCB layout?
No - JANS1N6167US/TR is a bidirectional TVS with no polarity marking and symmetrical electrical characteristics in both forward and reverse bias. Its SQ-MELF package has identical end-cap terminals, allowing unrestricted orientation during automated placement. This eliminates risk of misorientation-related field failures and simplifies PCB design for differential bus protection. The JANS1N6167US/TR functions identically regardless of anode/cathode assignment on the board.
How does JANS1N6167US/TR differ from commercial 1N6167AUS in reliability testing?
JANS1N6167US/TR undergoes full MIL-PRF-19500/516 screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and radiation hardness assurance per MicroNote 050, with lot traceability to wafer fabrication. Commercial 1N6167AUS receives only basic electrical test and visual inspection. The JANS1N6167US/TR is certified for Class S spaceflight use; 1N6167AUS carries no military qualification and is not approved for safety-critical deployments.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to end cap (RθJEC) for JANS1N6167US/TR?
The JANS1N6167US/TR has a specified thermal resistance of RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W from junction to end cap, measured per MIL-STD-750 Method 1025. This low value enables direct heat transfer from the silicon die to the PCB mounting surface without thermal vias or heatsinks, supporting reliable 1500 W pulse dissipation even at elevated ambient temperatures. This parameter is critical for validating thermal performance in JANS1N6167US/TR-based surge protection designs.
