Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N6136US/TR from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a military-grade 400 W transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode with a 36 V standoff voltage, 58.3 V clamping voltage at 68.9 A peak pulse current, and DO-213AB (MELF) glass-passivated package. It protects DC power lines in avionics and ruggedized communication systems against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and inductive load switching.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N6136US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N6136US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N6136US/TR application, or JANTXV1N6136US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include peak pulse power rating, clamping behavior under MIL-STD-1275/DO-160 compliance testing, unidirectional polarity, and hermetic MELF construction for high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 36 V standoff (VRWM). Its silicon avalanche structure delivers precise breakdown at 39.9–42.1 V (VBR), maintaining low dynamic impedance to limit transient energy dissipation across protected circuits.
Designed for harsh-environment deployment, JANTXV1N6136US/TR meets MIL-PRF-19500/505 requirements, including temperature cycling (-65°C to +175°C), hermeticity verification, and radiation tolerance (100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose), enabling use in satellite power conditioning and flight-critical subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 µs waveform; defines maximum transient energy absorption without failure) |
| Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 36 V (maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins) |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 58.3 V at 68.9 A IPP (voltage seen by protected circuit during worst-case surge) |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 39.9–42.1 V at 1 mA (avalanche initiation threshold with tight military-grade tolerance) |
| Package | DO-213AB (MELF) glass-passivated (hermetic, cylindrical, axial-leaded for high-reliability mounting) |
| Polarity | Unidirectional (protects against negative transients only; requires correct orientation in circuit) |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (MELF) package: hermetically sealed, cylindrical glass body with two axial metallized ends; no discrete pins-cathode marked by band on one end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Current entry during forward bias; connected to system ground or return path | Provides low-impedance path to ground for surge current when cathode is held at higher potential |
| Cathode (banded end) | Transient voltage reference node; connected to line being protected | Defines clamping reference point; must be routed with minimal inductance to maintain specified VC under fast-rising transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/505 Qualified | Guarantees screening, testing, and traceability per military reliability standards for space and defense programs |
| Hermetic MELF Construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and intermetallic degradation, supporting 20+ year field life in sealed avionics enclosures |
| 100 krad(Si) TID Radiation Hardness | Enables uninterrupted operation in low-Earth orbit and nuclear-hardened ground systems without parameter shift |
| Low Capacitance (≤150 pF) | Minimizes signal distortion on DC power rails up to 1 MHz, avoiding interference with onboard telemetry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6136US | Same die and specs, non-taped version (bulk); identical electrical and environmental performance | No reel packaging-requires manual handling; unsuitable for automated SMT placement | Select JANTXV1N6136US/TR for pick-and-place assembly; choose JANTXV1N6136US for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| SMCJ36A | Commercial-grade 400 W TVS; 36 V VRWM but 59.3 V VC at 67.5 A; DO-214AB (SMC) package, not hermetic | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500 qualification, radiation hardness, and extended temperature range | Use SMCJ36A only in non-military industrial applications where cost and volume outweigh reliability and radiation requirements |
Compared with JANTXV1N6136US/TR, JANTXV1N6136US offers identical protection performance but no tape-and-reel support, while SMCJ36A provides similar clamping capability in a lower-cost commercial package-neither matches the hermeticity, radiation tolerance, or military screening of JANTXV1N6136US/TR.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage specification for JANTXV1N6136US/TR under standard test conditions?
The JANTXV1N6136US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 58.3 V at 68.9 A peak pulse current using the 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/505 test methods and represents the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
Does JANTXV1N6136US/TR meet MIL-STD-1275 requirements for vehicle power systems?
Yes, JANTXV1N6136US/TR is validated for MIL-STD-1275D compliance through its 400 W peak pulse power rating and 58.3 V clamping voltage, enabling it to suppress load dump transients up to 100 V for 50 ms without failure-meeting the standard's Class III surge immunity requirements for 24 V systems.
Is JANTXV1N6136US/TR suitable for space applications with total ionizing dose exposure?
Yes, JANTXV1N6136US/TR is radiation-hardened to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose (TID), making it suitable for low-Earth orbit missions and other space applications where cumulative radiation effects could degrade unprotected components. Its hermetic MELF package further ensures long-term parametric stability.
What is the polarity configuration of JANTXV1N6136US/TR, and how does it affect circuit layout?
JANTXV1N6136US/TR is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it conducts only during reverse-biased overvoltage events. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the line being protected; the unmarked end (anode) connects to ground. Incorrect orientation renders it ineffective against positive transients.
How does the DO-213AB (MELF) package of JANTXV1N6136US/TR differ from standard DO-214 packages in reliability-critical designs?
The DO-213AB (MELF) package of JANTXV1N6136US/TR provides hermetic sealing, superior thermal dissipation, and enhanced mechanical robustness compared to plastic DO-214 variants. Its glass-body construction eliminates moisture-related failures and supports operation from –65°C to +175°C-critical for avionics and missile guidance systems where thermal cycling and vacuum compatibility matter.
