Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N6149US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SQ-MELF glass package, rated for 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), with 15.2 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 19.0 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR @ 65 mA), and 27.7 V clamping voltage (VC @ 54.2 A). It delivers ESD/EFT protection per IEC61000-4-2/4-4 and lightning surge immunity per IEC61000-4-5 in high-reliability aerospace and defense power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N6149US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N6149US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N6149US/TR application, or JANTXV1N6149US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV qualification, bidirectional clamping behavior, 5.0 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance, and compatibility with automated surface-mount assembly using EIA-481-B tape-and-reel.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a bidirectional voltage-clamping device with no polarity marking, leveraging hard-glass construction and Category 1 internal metallurgical bonds to ensure reliability under extreme thermal cycling (-55 °C to +175 °C) and high-surge stress. Its clamping action begins at VBR = 19.0 V (min) and limits transient energy to ≤27.7 V at 54.2 A peak pulse current.
The device is optimized for DC power rail protection where low standby leakage (<5 µA at VWM) and stable temperature coefficient (αV(BR) = 0.085 %/°C) are critical. It supports steady-state dissipation up to 3.0 W at 25 °C ambient and derates linearly above 150 °C end-cap temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 1500 W - sustains single high-energy transients without failure in avionics power distribution |
| Working Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 15.2 V - maximum continuous DC voltage before conduction begins; matches 12 V nominal systems with margin |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 19.0 V min @ 65 mA - precise threshold for initiating clamping during overvoltage events |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 27.7 V @ 54.2 A - limits downstream voltage stress during worst-case surge conditions |
| Junction Temp Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - enables operation in engine bay, satellite payload, and missile guidance electronics |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJEC) | 5.0 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink via end-cap mounting |
| Standby Current (ID) | ≤5 µA @ VWM - negligible leakage in always-on military subsystems with tight power budgets |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF (square-end-cap metalized glass cylinder), hermetically sealed, voidless, with tin/lead-plated copper terminals. Dimensions: BD = 4.65–5.13 mm, BL = 5.21–6.22 mm, ECT = 0.48–0.71 mm. Weight ≈ 1100 mg.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal and electrical interface | Primary heat sink path (RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W); soldered directly to PCB pads per EIA-481-B layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6149US/TR | Commercial-grade version; same VWM, VBR, VC, but not MIL-qualified; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating available | Lacks JANTXV screening; unsuitable for flight-critical or mission-essential hardware | Select only for non-military industrial prototypes or cost-sensitive ground support equipment |
| JANTXV1N6148US/TR | Lower VWM = 13.7 V, VBR = 17.1 V min, VC = 25.1 V @ 59.8 A; identical package and qualification level | Better suited for 12 V systems with tighter clamping margin; higher IPP allows longer surge duration tolerance | Choose when protecting lower-voltage rails where 25.1 V clamping is acceptable and higher surge current headroom is needed |
Compared with JANTXV1N6149US/TR, the commercial 1N6149US/TR offers identical electrical specs but lacks military screening and radiation hardness, while JANTXV1N6148US/TR trades 1.5 V higher clamping headroom for improved surge current capacity-making it preferable for 12 V systems requiring extended pulse handling.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANTXV1N6149US/TR under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JANTXV1N6149US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.7 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 54.2 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test conditions and reflects worst-case performance across temperature and lot variations. The JANTXV1N6149US/TR maintains this clamping level without degradation after multiple surge events when operated within thermal limits.
Is JANTXV1N6149US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTXV1N6149US/TR is qualified for solder reflow at 260 °C for 10 seconds, meeting standard lead-free process requirements. Its tin/lead-plated terminals are designed for compatibility with both SnPb and Pb-free solder pastes. However, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating is only available on commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6149US/TR), not on JANTXV versions, which retain traditional tin/lead finish per MIL specification.
Does JANTXV1N6149US/TR require polarity-aware PCB layout?
No-JANTXV1N6149US/TR is a bidirectional TVS with no polarity marking or internal asymmetry; either end functions identically as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity. PCB layout requires symmetric pad geometry per SQ-MELF footprint, but orientation is arbitrary. This simplifies placement and eliminates risk of reverse installation during automated assembly of the JANTXV1N6149US/TR.
What is the standby leakage current of JANTXV1N6149US/TR at its rated standoff voltage?
JANTXV1N6149US/TR exhibits a maximum standby current (ID) of 5 µA when biased at its rated working standoff voltage (VWM) of 15.2 V and measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power drain in always-on military subsystems and preserves battery life in portable defense electronics powered by the JANTXV1N6149US/TR-protected rails.
How does JANTXV1N6149US/TR perform under extreme temperature conditions?
JANTXV1N6149US/TR is rated for junction and storage temperatures from -55 °C to +175 °C and undergoes full MIL-PRF-19500/516 temperature cycling validation. Its breakdown voltage drift is controlled by a temperature coefficient of 0.085 %/°C, ensuring predictable clamping behavior across operational extremes. Thermal resistance of 5.0 °C/W enables reliable operation even when mounted on minimal copper areas in the JANTXV1N6149US/TR application.
