Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N6168US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 at JANTXV level. It provides 91.2 V working peak standoff voltage (VWM), 114.0 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 10 mA, and clamps transients to 165.1 V at 9.1 A peak pulse current (IPP) for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in avionics power bus protection and radar front-end surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N6168US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N6168US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N6168US/TR application, or JANTXV1N6168US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1500 W peak pulse power rating, -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, RoHS-compliant tin/lead terminations, and SQ-MELF "C" package compatibility with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel handling.
Technical Context
This TVS operates bidirectionally with no polarity marking and delivers robust transient suppression via hard-glass construction and internal tungsten-slug thermal path. Its 5.0 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance enables stable 1500 W pulse dissipation under military-grade thermal cycling.
The device meets IEC61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC61000-4-4 (EFT), and select levels of IEC61000-4-5 (lightning-induced surges), and is inherently radiation-hard per MicroNote 050 - critical for space-qualified subsystems where single-event burnout must be avoided.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 91.2 V - maximum continuous reverse standoff voltage before conduction begins; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| V(BR) min | 114.0 V @ 10 mA - guaranteed minimum breakdown voltage ensures predictable turn-on timing during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPP | 165.1 V @ 9.1 A (10/1000 µs) - clamping voltage limits downstream circuit stress during standardized surge pulses. |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak pulse power rating determines survivability against high-energy transients without degradation. |
| TJ Range | -55 °C to +175 °C - extended junction temperature range supports operation in harsh environments including engine bays and satellite payloads. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - low thermal resistance from junction to end cap enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink interface. |
| ID @ VWM | 5 µA - ultra-low leakage current preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF "C" - hermetically sealed voidless hard-glass case with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals; weight ≈ 1100 mg; compatible with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Transient conduction path | No polarity marking; symmetric structure allows identical clamping in both directions - simplifies layout and eliminates orientation errors. |
| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal and electrical interface | Direct thermal path to PCB copper; dual-end termination supports high-current pulse return without trace inductance penalties. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and internal corrosion over 20+ year field life in humid or vacuum environments. |
| Category 1 metallurgical bonds | Eliminates interfacial delamination under thermal shock (-55 °C ↔ +175 °C), ensuring reliability in missile guidance systems. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Blocks surface conduction paths on glass body, maintaining >10¹² Ω insulation resistance after 1000-hr damp heat testing. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV qualification | Validated screening includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing - required for DoD procurement contracts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6167US/TR | Lower VWM (86.6 V), lower VC (151.3 V @ 9.9 A), same 1500 W PPP and SQ-MELF package. | Better suited for 24 V nominal systems requiring tighter clamping margin below 150 V. | Select when system max transient voltage is constrained to <151.3 V and 24 V rail protection is primary requirement. |
| JANTXV1N6169US/TR | Higher VWM (98.8 V), higher VC (178.8 V @ 8.4 A), same 1500 W PPP and SQ-MELF package. | Preferred for 48 V telecom or vehicle battery systems where higher standoff reduces leakage and false triggering. | Choose for 48 V DC systems needing ≥98.8 V standoff with minimal standby current drift over temperature. |
Compared with JANTXV1N6168US/TR, JANTXV1N6167US/TR offers tighter clamping at lower voltage rails while JANTXV1N6169US/TR extends standoff headroom for higher-voltage architectures - all three share identical thermal design, MIL-PRF-19500/516 qualification, and mechanical footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANTXV1N6168US/TR under standard test conditions?
The JANTXV1N6168US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 165.1 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs impulse waveform at 9.1 A peak pulse current. This value is measured per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test methods and reflects worst-case conduction behavior during standardized surge events. The JANTXV1N6168US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range.
Is JANTXV1N6168US/TR RoHS compliant?
JANTXV1N6168US/TR is not RoHS compliant - it uses tin/lead-plated copper terminations per MIL-PRF-19500/516 requirements for solderability and thermal fatigue resistance in high-reliability applications. RoHS-compliant matte-tin versions are available only in commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N6168AUS without JAN/JANTXV prefix), not in JANTXV-qualified parts like JANTXV1N6168US/TR.
What package type does JANTXV1N6168US/TR use, and is it compatible with automated SMT placement?
JANTXV1N6168US/TR uses the SQ-MELF "C" package - a hermetically sealed voidless hard-glass cylindrical body with square end caps. It is fully compatible with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel handling and standard SMT pick-and-place equipment using vacuum nozzles designed for MELF components. The 0.205 inch (5.21 mm) body length and 0.183–0.202 inch (4.65–5.13 mm) diameter are supported by industry-standard feeder settings.
How does JANTXV1N6168US/TR differ from commercial-grade 1N6168AUS?
JANTXV1N6168US/TR differs from commercial 1N6168AUS in qualification level, screening, and construction: it undergoes full MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV-level screening (including burn-in and temperature cycling), uses Category 1 metallurgical bonds, and features triple-layer passivation. The commercial 1N6168AUS lacks military screening, may use different bond types, and is offered in RoHS-compliant variants - whereas JANTXV1N6168US/TR is non-RoHS and built for extreme reliability.
Can JANTXV1N6168US/TR be used in bidirectional AC line protection?
Yes - JANTXV1N6168US/TR is inherently bidirectional and unmarked for polarity, making it suitable for symmetrical AC transient suppression such as in 115 VAC aircraft systems or isolated DC-DC gate drive lines. Its 91.2 V VWM and 165.1 V VC allow safe operation across ±90 V peaks, provided RMS voltage and thermal dissipation remain within steady-state ratings (3.0 W at 25 °C ambient).
