Product details
Overview
JANTX1N6152US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed, bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JANTX reliability level. It provides 20.6 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 25.7 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 37.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 40.1 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 JANTX1N6152US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N6152US/TR pinout, JANTX1N6152US/TR application, or JANTX1N6152US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade surge robustness, bidirectional clamping symmetry, hermetic glass package integrity, and compliance with IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 transient immunity standards.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a bidirectional voltage-clamping device with no polarity marking, relying on symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both directions. Its hard-glass construction incorporates internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation to ensure survivability under repeated 1500 W transients and radiation-hardened operation per MicroNote 050.
It delivers ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2 (±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact), EFT immunity per IEC61000-4-4 (40 A, 5/50 ns), and lightning-induced surge suppression per select IEC61000-4-5 levels. Thermal resistance from junction to end cap is 5.0 °C/W, enabling stable operation up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 20.6 V - maximum continuous reverse/dc voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| V(BR) min | 25.7 V @ 50 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset voltage; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPP | 37.4 V @ 40.1 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines protected circuit's maximum stress level. |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak impulse power handling for standardized 10/1000 µs waveform; enables high-energy transient absorption. |
| ID @ VWM | 5 µA - leakage current at rated standoff; ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance nodes. |
| TJ Range | –55 °C to +175 °C - operational junction temperature range; supports deployment in extreme environmental conditions. |
| αV(BR) | 0.09 %/°C - temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage; allows accurate derating across wide thermal excursions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6152AUS | Commercial-grade version; same VWM (20.6 V), VC (37.4 V), and PPP (1500 W), but not MIL-qualified. | Lacks JANTX screening, burn-in, and lot traceability; unsuitable for DoD or space programs requiring MIL-PRF-19500/516. | Select only for non-military industrial prototypes or cost-sensitive commercial designs where full qualification is unnecessary. |
| JANTXV1N6152US | Higher-reliability JANTXV grade: tighter parametric limits, extended life testing, and enhanced screening per MIL-PRF-19500/516. | Required for mission-critical subsystems (e.g., flight control actuators) where zero-failure probability is mandated. | Choose when system-level FMEA demands >99.999% confidence in surge survival under worst-case lightning injection. |
Compared with JANTX1N6152US/TR, the commercial 1N6152AUS offers identical electrical specs but no military qualification, while JANTXV1N6152US adds stricter screening and longer proven life - making the JANTX variant the optimal balance of ruggedness, traceability, and program affordability.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JANTX1N6152US/TR under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JANTX1N6152US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 37.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 40.1 A using the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per MIL-STD-750 Method 3013 and guarantees that downstream circuitry remains below destructive voltage thresholds during transient events. The JANTX1N6152US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full –55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range.
Is JANTX1N6152US/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N6152US/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (marked with "e3") are available only for commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6152AUS), not for JANTX-qualified parts. The JANTX1N6152US/TR uses traditional tin/lead plating on copper terminals to meet MIL-PRF-19500/516 solderability and reliability requirements, including resistance to thermal fatigue during reflow and repair cycles.
Does JANTX1N6152US/TR have polarity markings?
No, JANTX1N6152US/TR has no polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Its symmetrical avalanche structure provides identical clamping behavior in both forward and reverse directions, eliminating the need for orientation-specific placement. This simplifies PCB layout and reduces assembly errors in high-reliability systems where manual inspection is limited.
What is the thermal resistance of JANTX1N6152US/TR?
The thermal resistance from junction to end cap (RθJEC) of JANTX1N6152US/TR is 5.0 °C/W, as specified in the Microsemi datasheet. This low thermal resistance enables efficient heat dissipation through the end caps into the PCB copper, supporting sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures and allowing reliable use in thermally constrained military chassis environments. The JANTX1N6152US/TR leverages tungsten slugs and hermetic glass packaging to achieve this performance.
How does JANTX1N6152US/TR differ from JANS1N6152US/TR?
JANTX1N6152US/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at the JANTX reliability level, which includes screening for temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric verification. JANS1N6152US/TR undergoes additional radiation hardness assurance (RHA) testing per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 and is screened for total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for spaceflight applications. Both share identical electrical specs, but JANS adds radiation tolerance and extended environmental stress screening beyond JANTX requirements.
