Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N6150US/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), 16.7 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 30.5 V clamping voltage (VC) at 49.2 A peak pulse current - deployed in avionics power rail protection and high-reliability interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N6150US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N6150US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N6150US/TR application, or JANTXV1N6150US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV qualification level, bidirectional clamping behavior, glass-body thermal resistance (5.0 °C/W), and IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance for ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced surge immunity.
Technical Context
This TVS operates bidirectionally with no polarity marking, leveraging hard-glass construction and Category 1 internal metallurgical bonds to sustain repeated 1500 W transients without degradation. Its 16.7 V VWM and 20.9 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR @ 50 mA) define precise overvoltage thresholding for 24 V nominal systems.
Thermal design is constrained by junction-to-end-cap resistance of 5.0 °C/W and derating to zero power at 175 °C junction temperature. Standby current remains ≤5 µA at VWM, ensuring minimal leakage in always-on protection paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 16.7 V - Maximum continuous reverse/forward voltage before conduction begins; sets operating margin for 24 V DC systems. |
| VC @ IPP | 30.5 V @ 49.2 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; limits downstream IC stress to safe levels. |
| PPP | 1500 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports MIL-STD-461 CS115/CS116-level surges. |
| IPP | 49.2 A - Maximum non-repetitive surge current; defines PCB trace sizing and fuse coordination. |
| TJ Range | −55 to +175 °C - Full military temperature range; validated for airborne and space-qualified platforms. |
| αVBR | 0.085 %/°C - Temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage; enables stable clamping across thermal extremes. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance; informs heatsinking requirements for sustained pulse duty cycles. |
Pinout & Package
SQ-MELF (C package) surface-mount glass body with square-end-cap terminals; hermetically sealed voidless construction; tin/lead-plated copper terminations; no polarity marking due to bidirectional symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Surge current path | Either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity; no orientation required during placement. |
| End cap (both ends) | Thermal interface | Primary heat dissipation path to PCB pad; requires full-surface solder contact per MIL-STD-202 method 210. |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response clamp integrated into output stage PCB layout to limit overshoot during load step transitions. Use Value: 1500 W pulse rating sustains repeated 10/1000 µs events without parameter drift or bond fatigue. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6150UR-1 | Same electrical specs but in axial-leaded C package; higher RθJA (60 °C/W vs. 5.0 °C/W); no tape-and-reel option. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where SMT footprint unavailable. | Select when manual assembly or thermal mass of axial leads improves pulse energy absorption in low-density layouts. |
| SMCJ16A (commercial) | 1500 W rating, 16 V VWM, but JEDEC DO-214AB package; RoHS-compliant; lacks MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification. | Suitable for industrial-grade designs requiring cost optimization and commercial supply chain flexibility. | Choose only if JANTXV reliability screening, hermetic sealing, and −55 to +175 °C operation are not mandated. |
Compared with JANTXV1N6150US/TR, JANTXV1N6150UR-1 offers identical surge performance in axial form but sacrifices thermal efficiency and automated assembly compatibility, while SMCJ16A provides functional equivalence for commercial use but omits military screening, hermeticity, and radiation tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANTXV1N6150US/TR under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The JANTXV1N6150US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.5 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 49.2 A under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per MIL-STD-750 method 3013 and guarantees consistent overvoltage limiting for protected circuitry. The JANTXV1N6150US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full −55 to +175 °C operating range without derating.
Is JANTXV1N6150US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTXV1N6150US/TR is specified for a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, aligning with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements. While its standard termination is tin/lead, Microsemi confirms compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles when using appropriate preheat and soak zones. The JANTXV1N6150US/TR glass body remains structurally stable under these conditions without cracking or seal compromise.
Does JANTXV1N6150US/TR require polarity-aware PCB layout?
No - JANTXV1N6150US/TR is a bidirectional TVS with symmetrical electrical characteristics, meaning either end functions identically as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity. The device carries no polarity marking and must be placed without orientation constraints. This simplifies automated placement and eliminates risk of misorientation-related field failures. The JANTXV1N6150US/TR datasheet explicitly states "No polarity marking for these bidirectional TVSs."
How does JANTXV1N6150US/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV requirements?
JANTXV1N6150US/TR meets MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV qualification through full-screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, steady-state life testing, and mechanical shock per MIL-STD-883. It also undergoes lot acceptance testing for parameters like VWM, VC, and IPP. The JANTXV1N6150US/TR designation itself certifies compliance with all JANTXV-level reliability and traceability mandates, including 100% lot traceability and certified test reports.
Can JANTXV1N6150US/TR be used for IEC61000-4-5 surge protection?
Yes - JANTXV1N6150US/TR is explicitly rated for protection against secondary effects of lightning per IEC61000-4-5, supporting line-to-ground and line-to-line surge tests at Level 3 (1 kV/0.5 kV). Its 1500 W peak pulse power and 30.5 V clamping voltage ensure compliance when applied with proper PCB layout (short traces, low-inductance grounding). The JANTXV1N6150US/TR performance is validated per the test methods defined in that standard's Annex A.
