Product details
Overview
JANTX1N6155US/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), 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 rail protection and radar front-end ESD hardening.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N6155US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N6155US/TR pinout, JANTX1N6155US/TR application, or JANTX1N6155US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification level (JANTX), bidirectional clamping symmetry, glass-body thermal resistance (5.0 °C/W), and IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance for high-reliability transient suppression.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional avalanche diode with no polarity marking, leveraging Category 1 metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation to sustain surge immunity across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. Its hard-glass SQ-MELF construction ensures voidless hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Clamping behavior is defined by a 30.1 A peak pulse current (IPP) at 49.9 V (VC) under 10/1000 µs waveform, with 0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αVBR). Standby leakage remains ≤5 µA at 27.4 V (VWM), enabling low-power system monitoring without loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 27.4 V - maximum continuous dc/repetitive peak voltage before conduction begins |
| VC @ IPP | 49.9 V at 30.1 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream stress |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standard surge waveform |
| IPP | 30.1 A - maximum non-repetitive surge current the device safely clamps |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to end cap, critical for pulsed power derating |
| TJ/TSTG | -55 to +175 °C - operational and storage temperature range supporting aerospace deployment |
| αVBR | 0.095 %/°C - predictable VBR drift over temperature for stable threshold design |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6155AUS | Commercial-grade version; same VWM, VC, IPP, but not MIL-qualified | Lacks JANTX-level screening, burn-in, and lot traceability; unsuitable for flight hardware | Select only for lab prototypes or non-mission-critical ground test equipment |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of JANTX1N6155US/TR at its rated peak pulse current?
The JANTX1N6155US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 49.9 V at 30.1 A peak pulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per MIL-PRF-19500/516 testing and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The JANTX1N6155US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is JANTX1N6155US/TR unidirectional or bidirectional, and how does that affect PCB layout?
JANTX1N6155US/TR is a bidirectional TVS diode with no polarity marking, meaning both terminals are functionally identical and interchangeable. This eliminates orientation constraints during automated placement and simplifies layout for AC-coupled or floating nodes. The JANTX1N6155US/TR's symmetrical avalanche structure ensures matched clamping in either direction, critical for protecting differential signaling or transformer-isolated interfaces.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of JANTX1N6155US/TR at 25 °C ambient?
The JANTX1N6155US/TR has a maximum off-state power dissipation (PD) of 3.0 W at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly to zero at 150 °C case temperature. This rating assumes controlled thermal resistance from mounting point to ambient - typically achieved via direct solder attachment to copper pour. The JANTX1N6155US/TR's 5.0 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance supports this dissipation when properly mounted.
Does JANTX1N6155US/TR meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge immunity?
Yes, JANTX1N6155US/TR provides protection from secondary effects of lightning per select levels in IEC61000-4-5, validated through its 1500 W peak pulse power rating at 10/1000 µs and clamping performance at 30.1 A. Its voidless hermetic construction and Category 1 metallurgical bonds ensure consistent response across repeated surges. The JANTX1N6155US/TR is routinely deployed in Level 3 and Level 4 IEC61000-4-5-compliant subsystems within military platforms.
What packaging and reel specifications apply to JANTX1N6155US/TR?
JANTX1N6155US/TR is supplied in SQ-MELF (C) package on tape-and-reel per EIA-481-B standard. Each reel contains standard quantities per factory configuration, with square-end-cap terminals optimized for pick-and-place accuracy. The JANTX1N6155US/TR's 1100 mg weight and precise dimensional tolerances (e.g., BD: 0.183–0.202 inch) ensure reliable feeding and placement in high-volume SMT lines.
