Product details
Overview
JANTX1N6149AUS/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), 15.2 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 27.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 54.2 A peak pulse current. It operates across –55 °C to +175 °C and is used in high-reliability avionics power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N6149AUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N6149AUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N6149AUS/TR application, or JANTX1N6149AUS/TR equivalent, this part delivers MIL-PRF-19500/516 Level JANTX qualification, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, triple-layer passivation, and IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance - critical for ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced surge hardening in defense electronics.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS uses a robust hard-glass construction with tungsten slugs and internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds to ensure mechanical integrity and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. Its symmetric breakdown behavior enables protection of AC-coupled or floating signal/power lines without polarity concerns.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αVBR) of 0.085 %/°C and maintains stable clamping performance across its full operating junction temperature range (–55 °C to +175 °C), with thermal resistance from junction to end cap (RθJEC) at 5.0 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 1500 W - sustains high-energy transients without failure in aerospace power bus protection |
| Working Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 15.2 V - maximum continuous DC or repetitive peak voltage before conduction begins |
| Clamping Voltage (VC @ IPP) | 27.7 V at 54.2 A - limits downstream voltage during surge to safe levels for 15 V nominal systems |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR @ IBR) | 19.0 V at 65 mA - defines onset of avalanche conduction under controlled test conditions |
| Standby Current (ID @ VWM) | 5 µA - negligible leakage at rated standoff, preserving low-power system integrity |
| Operating Temperature Range | –55 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including engine bays and space-grade enclosures |
| Thermal Resistance (Junction-to-End Cap) | 5.0 °C/W - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper or heatsink for sustained pulse handling |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (Square-End-Cap Metal Electrode Leadless Face), hermetically sealed voidless hard glass with tungsten slugs; terminals are tin/lead plated copper; no polarity marking due to bidirectional symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Common terminal pair | Either end functions identically as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity - no orientation required during placement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic seal | Eliminates internal moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or vacuum environments |
| Category 1 metallurgical bonds | Ensures bond integrity under thermal cycling, shock, and vibration - validated per MIL-PRF-19500/516 |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage and corrosion on glass body, maintaining stable VBR over lifetime |
| MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTX qualification | Guarantees screening, testing, and traceability for mission-critical defense and space applications |
| IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance | Validated protection against ESD (±8 kV contact), EFT (±2 kV), and lightning surges (up to select levels) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6149US (commercial grade) | No MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification; same electrical specs but no JANTX screening or traceability | Suitable only for non-military industrial prototypes or ground-test equipment where reliability certification is not mandated | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs formal qualification requirements and environmental stress testing is self-managed |
| JANTXV1N6149AUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV): extended temperature testing, burn-in, and lot traceability per MIL-PRF-19500/516 Appendix A | Required for flight hardware, missile guidance systems, and nuclear command/control where zero defect history is enforced | Choose when program mandates JANTXV-level reliability assurance and full lot documentation for audit readiness |
Compared with 1N6149US and JANTXV1N6149AUS/TR, the JANTX1N6149AUS/TR balances rigorous military screening with cost-effective qualification - delivering proven field reliability for airborne platforms without the overhead of full JANTXV processing.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JANTX1N6149AUS/TR at its rated peak pulse current?
The JANTX1N6149AUS/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.7 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 54.2 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test conditions and ensures predictable voltage limiting for 15 V nominal systems. The JANTX1N6149AUS/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is JANTX1N6149AUS/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N6149AUS/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature table in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0278-1 datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (marked with "e3") are available only for commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6149AUS), not for JANTX-level qualified parts. The JANTX1N6149AUS/TR uses traditional tin/lead plating to meet MIL-PRF-19500/516 solderability and reliability requirements.
What does the "A" suffix in JANTX1N6149AUS/TR signify?
The "A" suffix in JANTX1N6149AUS/TR indicates tighter voltage tolerances: it specifies standard minimum breakdown voltage (VBR = 19.0 V), standard clamping voltage (VC = 27.7 V), and standard peak pulse current (IPP = 54.2 A). Non-A parts have 5% higher VC, 5% lower minimum VBR, and 5% lower IPP. The JANTX1N6149AUS/TR therefore guarantees the most robust transient suppression parameters in its series.
Can JANTX1N6149AUS/TR be used in place of JANTXV1N6149AUS/TR?
JANTX1N6149AUS/TR is not a drop-in replacement for JANTXV1N6149AUS/TR. While both share identical electrical specifications and package, the JANTXV version undergoes additional screening (burn-in, extended temperature testing, lot traceability per Appendix A of MIL-PRF-19500/516). Programs requiring JANTXV qualification cannot substitute JANTX1N6149AUS/TR without requalification. The JANTX1N6149AUS/TR remains fully qualified to the base JANTX level.
What is the thermal resistance specification for JANTX1N6149AUS/TR?
The JANTX1N6149AUS/TR has a thermal resistance from junction to end cap (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This low thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer from the silicon junction through the tungsten slug and glass body to the PCB copper or heatsink, supporting repeated 1500 W pulse handling without thermal runaway. The JANTX1N6149AUS/TR relies on end-cap conduction rather than lead-frame conduction for thermal management.
