Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR from Microsemi is a voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount bidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV level. It provides 98.8 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 123.5 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)) at 10 mA, and clamps transients to 178.8 V at 8.4 A peak pulse current (IPP) for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed in avionics power rail protection and radar front-end surge suppression.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its military-grade reliability, 1500 W peak pulse power rating, bidirectional clamping behavior, -55°C to +175°C operating junction temperature range, and SQ-MELF "C" package compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped shunt protector with symmetrical bidirectional avalanche conduction - no polarity marking required. Its hard-glass hermetic construction uses internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation to ensure radiation hardness and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
It delivers 1500 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) with thermal resistance of 5.0 °C/W (junction-to-end cap), enabling robust transient suppression in high-reliability systems where failure is unacceptable. Standby current is ≤5 µA at 98.8 V, and temperature coefficient of V(BR) is +0.105 %/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 98.8 V - maximum continuous reverse standoff voltage before leakage exceeds 5 µA; defines safe operating margin below clamping threshold. |
| V(BR) min | 123.5 V @ 10 mA - guaranteed avalanche initiation voltage; ensures predictable turn-on during overvoltage events. |
| VC @ IPP | 178.8 V @ 8.4 A - clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected circuitry. |
| PPP | 1500 W - peak pulse power handling capability; supports lightning-induced surges per IEC61000-4-5 Level 3–4. |
| TJ Range | -55°C to +175°C - extended junction temperature range enables deployment in engine bay, space-grade, and airborne electronics. |
| RθJEC | 5.0 °C/W - low thermal resistance from junction to end cap; allows efficient heat dissipation into PCB copper or heatsink. |
| αV(BR) | +0.105 %/°C - positive temperature coefficient ensures stable breakdown voltage across wide ambient ranges. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SQ-MELF "C" - hermetically sealed voidless hard glass case with tungsten slugs and tin/lead-plated copper terminals. Square-end-cap geometry enables precise pick-and-place alignment and reliable reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Surge current path | No polarity marking; either terminal serves as anode or cathode depending on transient polarity - simplifies layout and eliminates orientation errors. |
| End Cap (both ends) | Thermal interface | Direct thermal path from junction to PCB pad or heatsink; requires full-surface solder contact for rated RθJEC = 5.0 °C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or floating signal/power lines without polarity constraints. |
| Category 1 metallurgical bonds | Guarantees mechanical integrity and bond strength under thermal cycling, shock, and vibration per MIL-PRF-19500/516. |
| Voidless hermetic seal | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift - critical for >20-year field life in sealed military enclosures. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Reduces surface leakage and enhances stability in high-humidity, salt-fog, or radiation environments. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/516 JANTXV qualification | Validates screening, testing, and lot traceability for flight-critical and mission-essential systems. |
Applications
| Avionics Power Distribution | Radar RF Front-End Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N6168AUS/TR | Lower VWM (91.2 V), lower VC (165.1 V), higher IPP (9.1 A); same package and qualification level. | Better suited for 24 V nominal systems requiring tighter clamping margin. | Select when system max operating voltage is ≤91.2 V and lower clamping voltage is prioritized over standoff headroom. |
| JANTXV1N6170AUS/TR | Higher VWM (114.0 V), higher VC (206.3 V), lower IPP (7.3 A); identical construction and qualification. | Preferred for 110 V DC distribution or high-voltage sensor interfaces needing wider standoff range. | Choose when protecting circuits with ≥114 V steady-state operation and where higher clamping voltage is acceptable for increased surge margin. |
Compared with JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR, JANTXV1N6168AUS/TR offers tighter clamping at lower voltage but reduced standoff headroom, while JANTXV1N6170AUS/TR extends standoff capability at the cost of higher clamping - both retain identical military screening, thermal performance, and SQ-MELF packaging.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR under standard test conditions?
The JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 178.8 V when subjected to an 8.4 A peak pulse current (IPP) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per MIL-PRF-19500/516 test methods and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events. The JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
Is JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
Yes, JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR is inherently bidirectional due to its symmetrical avalanche structure and absence of polarity marking. It provides identical clamping behavior for positive and negative transients, making it ideal for protecting AC-coupled data lines, transformer-isolated interfaces, or floating power domains. The JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR does not require orientation verification during placement, reducing assembly risk in high-reliability manufacturing.
Does JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR meet IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity standards?
Yes, JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR is validated for protection against secondary effects of lightning per IEC61000-4-5, supporting Level 3 (2 kV line-to-earth, 1 kV line-to-line) and Level 4 (4 kV line-to-earth, 2 kV line-to-line) tests when properly implemented with appropriate PCB layout and series impedance. Its 1500 W peak pulse power rating and 178.8 V clamping voltage enable compliance in conjunction with system-level design practices.
What is the thermal resistance specification for JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR?
JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR has a junction-to-end cap thermal resistance (RθJEC) of 5.0 °C/W, measured under standardized conditions per MIL-PRF-19500/516. This low thermal resistance enables effective heat transfer from the silicon junction through the tungsten slug and glass body into the PCB copper or external heatsink. Maintaining full-surface solder contact on both end caps is required to achieve the rated RθJEC value in actual JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR applications.
How does the JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR differ from commercial-grade 1N6169AUS variants?
JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR undergoes full MIL-PRF-19500/516 screening including extended temperature cycling, hermeticity testing, and lot traceability - unlike commercial 1N6169AUS which lacks military qualification. It also features tighter parameter tolerances, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, and triple-layer passivation. The JANTXV1N6169AUS/TR is rated for operation up to +175°C junction temperature, whereas commercial versions are typically limited to +150°C.
