Product details
Overview
JANTX1N6154US/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), 25.1 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 45.7 V clamping voltage (VC) at 32.8 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 JANTX1N6154US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N6154US/TR pinout, JANTX1N6154US/TR application, or JANTX1N6154US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTX qualification, bidirectional clamping behavior, glass-body thermal resistance (5.0 °C/W), and IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance for ESD, EFT, and lightning surge immunity.
Technical Context
This device functions as a bidirectional voltage-clamping protector with no polarity marking, relying on symmetrical avalanche breakdown in both directions. Its hard-glass construction uses Category 1 internal metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation to ensure robustness under repeated transients and radiation-hardened operation per MicroNote 050.
It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power for 10/1000 µs waveform while maintaining 25.1 V maximum working standoff voltage and 45.7 V clamping voltage at 32.8 A. 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 | 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 transient, limiting downstream circuit stress. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability for standardized surge waveform. |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 °C to +175 °C - Full military-grade operating and storage temperature range. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance, critical for thermal design in high-power surges. |
| ID @ VWM | 5 µA - Low leakage current ensures minimal standby power loss in protected circuits. |
| αV(BR) | 0.095 %/°C - Temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage, supporting stable clamping over temperature. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (C) - Voidless hermetically sealed hard-glass case with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals. Square-end-cap geometry enables precise automated placement and reliable solder joint formation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Transient conduction path | No polarity marking; symmetric terminals conduct equally in either direction during overvoltage events. |
| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal interface & mechanical anchor | Direct thermal path to PCB pad; tungsten slugs and low RθJEC enable efficient heat dissipation during surge. |
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 thermal cycling and mechanical shock, meeting MIL-PRF-19500/516 reliability requirements. |
| Voidless hermetic seal | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in harsh environments including space and aviation systems. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Enhances surface stability and reduces leakage current drift under high-humidity or ionizing radiation exposure. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTX qualification | Validates screening, testing, and traceability for use in defense electronics where failure is not tolerable. |
Applications
| Aerospace Power Distribution | Avionics Sensor Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6154AUS | Commercial-grade version; same VWM, VC, and PPP but lacks MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTX screening and radiation hardness data. | Approved for industrial/commercial aerospace subsystems but not flight-critical avionics. | Select when full military qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher. |
| JANTXV1N6154US | Higher reliability level (JANTXV); includes extended burn-in, lot acceptance testing, and tighter parametric limits per MIL-PRF-19500/516. | Required for Class H (high-reliability) and space-qualified programs where zero defect tolerance applies. | Choose when mission-critical operation demands enhanced screening beyond JANTX baseline. |
Compared with JANTX1N6154US/TR, the commercial 1N6154AUS offers identical electrical specs but no military screening, while JANTXV1N6154US adds process rigor and test coverage-enabling trade-offs between cost, qualification depth, and radiation assurance without changing circuit design or layout.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JANTX1N6154US/TR and how is it measured?
The clamping voltage of JANTX1N6154US/TR is 45.7 V, measured at 32.8 A peak pulse current using the standard 10/1000 µs double-exponential waveform. This value represents the maximum voltage seen across the device during a defined surge event and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0278-1 datasheet. JANTX1N6154US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is JANTX1N6154US/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N6154US/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature section in the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (marked with "e3") are available only for commercial-grade parts-not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS qualified devices like JANTX1N6154US/TR. The terminals use tin/lead plating to meet MIL-PRF-19500/516 solderability and reliability requirements.
Does JANTX1N6154US/TR have polarity markings?
No, JANTX1N6154US/TR has no polarity markings because it is a bidirectional TVS diode. Its symmetrical construction allows it to clamp overvoltage transients equally in both directions, making it suitable for AC lines, floating references, or unidirectional rails where reverse polarity risk exists. The SQ-MELF package features identical square-end-cap terminals at both ends.
What is the thermal resistance specification for JANTX1N6154US/TR?
JANTX1N6154US/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table. This parameter reflects the thermal path from the silicon junction through the tungsten slug to the end-cap solder interface. It is critical for calculating temperature rise during repetitive surge events and must be used with PCB copper area and ambient conditions to ensure junction temperature stays below 175 °C.
How does JANTX1N6154US/TR differ from the commercial 1N6154AUS part?
JANTX1N6154US/TR differs from 1N6154AUS in qualification level, screening, and environmental assurance-not electrical specs. Both share identical VWM (25.1 V), VC (45.7 V), and PPP (1500 W), but JANTX1N6154US/TR undergoes MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTX-level screening including extended temperature cycling, hermeticity testing, and lot traceability. JANTX1N6154US/TR also supports radiation hardness documentation per MicroNote 050, which 1N6154AUS does not.
