Product details
Overview
JANTX1N6476US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless-hermetically-sealed unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in G-MELF (D-5C) package. It provides 51.6 V working peak standoff voltage, 78.5 V maximum clamping voltage at 107 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), and 1500 W peak pulse power for high-reliability surge protection in avionics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N6476US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N6476US/TR pinout, JANTX1N6476US/TR application, or JANTX1N6476US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/552 qualification, -55°C to +175°C operating temperature range, Category I metallurgical bond, IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance, and hermetic glass construction for radiation-hardened environments.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS operates as a clamping device triggered above its 54.0 V minimum breakdown voltage (IBR = 1 mA), maintaining a stable 51.6 V standoff until transient onset. Its hard-glass hermetic seal and tungsten slug construction enable operation up to +175°C with 20.0 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance.
The device delivers 1500 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform, clamping at 78.5 V while sustaining 107 A peak pulse current. It exhibits +0.103 %/°C temperature coefficient of VBR and meets MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD insensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 51.6 V maximum working peak voltage - defines max continuous DC or peak AC voltage before conduction begins |
| VBR (min) | 54.0 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on margin above standoff, critical for precision overvoltage thresholding |
| VC | 78.5 V at 107 A (10/1000 µs) - limits downstream voltage stress during lightning-level transients |
| PPP | 1500 W - supports high-energy surges without thermal runaway in aerospace power conditioning |
| IPP | 107 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs) - enables protection against IEC61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surges |
| TOP/TSTG | -55°C to +175°C - allows deployment in engine-mounted or space-grade electronics without derating |
| Leakage (ID) | 5 µA max at VWM - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ51A | Plastic SMC package; 51 V VWM, 81.5 V VC @ 112 A; not hermetically sealed | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500 qualification, radiation hardness, and -55°C to +175°C rating | Use where cost and commercial volume outweigh military reliability requirements |
| JANTX1N6475US/TR | 40.3 V VWM, 63.5 V VC @ 135 A; same G-MELF package and MIL-PRF-19500/552 qualification | Lower clamping voltage but reduced standoff - suited for 36 V nominal systems instead of 48–60 V rails | Select when system operating voltage requires tighter VWM margin below 51.6 V |
Compared with SMCJ51A and JANTX1N6475US/TR, JANTX1N6476US/TR uniquely combines 51.6 V standoff, 78.5 V clamping, hermetic G-MELF packaging, and full MIL-PRF-19500/552 screening - making it irreplaceable for 48–60 V avionics and nuclear-grade transient suppression where failure is not an option.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANTX1N6476US/TR under standard test conditions?
JANTX1N6476US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 78.5 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs transient waveform at 107 A peak pulse current. This value is measured per MIL-STD-750 Method 3019 and guarantees predictable overvoltage limiting for downstream circuitry. The JANTX1N6476US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full -55°C to +175°C operating range.
Is JANTX1N6476US/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/552, and what does that entail?
Yes, JANTX1N6476US/TR is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/552 as a JANTX-grade device. This includes screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, steady-state life test, and mechanical shock per the specification. The JANTX1N6476US/TR also features Category I internal metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation - all verified during qualification. These tests ensure suitability for Class H and Class K applications where failure is unacceptable.
What package type does JANTX1N6476US/TR use, and why is it significant?
JANTX1N6476US/TR uses the G-MELF (D-5C) package: a voidless-hermetically-sealed hard-glass cylinder with tungsten slugs and copper end caps. This construction eliminates moisture ingress and internal voids, enabling operation at +175°C and resistance to thermal shock. The JANTX1N6476US/TR's hermetic seal is essential for long-term reliability in vacuum, high-humidity, or radiation-intensive environments where plastic-packaged alternatives would degrade.
Does JANTX1N6476US/TR meet IEC61000-4-5 for lightning surge immunity?
JANTX1N6476US/TR provides secondary lightning protection per select levels of IEC61000-4-5, validated by its 1500 W peak pulse power rating and 78.5 V clamping voltage at 107 A. While not certified as a standalone system-level solution, the JANTX1N6476US/TR is routinely deployed in conjunction with upstream filters and gas discharge tubes to achieve Level 3 (2 kV line-to-ground) and Level 4 (4 kV line-to-ground) immunity in avionics and ground vehicle systems.
How does the temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage affect JANTX1N6476US/TR performance?
JANTX1N6476US/TR has a VBR temperature coefficient of +0.103 %/°C, meaning its breakdown voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. At +125°C, VBR rises ~10.7 V above its 25°C value - preserving safe margin above the 51.6 V VWM. This positive coefficient ensures stable, non-catastrophic behavior under thermal stress, a critical design attribute confirmed in Microsemi MicroNote 050 for the JANTX1N6476US/TR family.
