Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N6462US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in SQ-MELF glass package, rated for 500 W peak pulse power, 6.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 11.0 V clamping voltage (VC) at 258 A peak impulse current (IPP); used for lightning surge and ESD protection in avionics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N6462US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N6462US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N6462US/TR application, or JANTXV1N6462US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/551 JANTXV qualification, voidless hermetic glass construction, Category 1 metallurgical bonds, and IEC61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 compliance for high-reliability defense systems.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with hard-glass hermetic sealing and tungsten slug terminations, enabling stable performance across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its breakdown voltage is 6.5 V minimum at 20 mA test current (V(BR)), with temperature coefficient of +0.060 %/°C.
The device delivers 500 W peak pulse power under 10/1000 µs waveform, clamping transients to ≤11.0 V at 258 A (IPP), while maintaining ≤2500 µA standby current at 6.0 V (VWM). Thermal resistance from junction to endcap is 20 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 6.0 V maximum continuous reverse standoff voltage - defines max DC operating voltage before leakage rises above 2500 µA |
| V(BR) min | 6.5 V at 20 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset threshold for reliable clamping initiation |
| VC @ IPP | 11.0 V at 258 A (10/1000 µs) - peak clamped voltage seen by protected circuit during surge |
| PPP | 500 W - maximum transient energy absorption capability under standard 10/1000 µs waveform |
| IPP | 258 A - largest non-repetitive surge current the device can safely divert without failure |
| TJ range | –55 °C to +175 °C - extended thermal envelope supporting operation in harsh military environments |
| αV(BR) | +0.060 %/°C - positive temperature coefficient ensures stable breakdown voltage over temperature |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6462US (commercial) | No MIL-PRF-19500/551 qualification; no JANTXV screening; higher ID (3000 µA vs 2500 µA) | Limited to non-safety-critical commercial avionics; not approved for flight-critical subsystems | Select only when cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements and radiation hardness is unnecessary |
| JANTXV1N6461US/TR | Lower VWM (5.0 V), lower VC (9.0 V), higher IPP (315 A), but same package and qualification level | Better suited for 5 V logic rail protection where tighter clamping margin is critical | Choose when protecting sub-6 V circuits requiring lower clamping voltage and higher surge margin than JANTXV1N6462US/TR |
Compared with JANTXV1N6461US/TR and commercial 1N6462US, JANTXV1N6462US/TR provides optimal balance of 6.0 V standoff compatibility with 28 V systems, JANTXV-level screening, and 11.0 V clamping - making it the preferred choice for MIL-STD-704E-compliant aircraft power interface protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of JANTXV1N6462US/TR under a 10/1000 µs surge?
JANTXV1N6462US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 11.0 V when subjected to its rated peak impulse current of 258 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is guaranteed per the Microsemi T4-LDS-0286-1 datasheet and reflects worst-case clamping performance across the qualified temperature range and lifetime.
Is JANTXV1N6462US/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTXV1N6462US/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminations are available only for commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N6462US), not for JANTXV-qualified parts. The JANTXV1N6462US/TR uses traditional tin/lead over copper terminations to meet MIL-PRF-19500/551 process and reliability requirements.
What does the "US" suffix indicate in JANTXV1N6462US/TR?
The "US" suffix in JANTXV1N6462US/TR denotes the SQ-MELF (B-type) surface-mount package - a voidless hermetically sealed hard glass case with square end caps and axial tungsten slugs. It distinguishes this variant from the axial-leaded "B" package version (e.g., JANTXV1N6462/TR) and confirms compliance with the mechanical dimensions and marking requirements defined in T4-LDS-0286-1.
How does JANTXV1N6462US/TR achieve radiation hardness?
JANTXV1N6462US/TR achieves inherent radiation hardness through its voidless hermetic glass packaging and Category 1 metallurgical bonds, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. These features prevent charge trapping and mitigate displacement damage, enabling stable operation after exposure to >100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose - verified for use in LEO satellite power systems.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to endcap for JANTXV1N6462US/TR?
The thermal resistance from junction to endcap (RθJEC) for JANTXV1N6462US/TR is 20 °C/W, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table of the T4-LDS-0286-1 datasheet. This value enables effective heat dissipation into the PCB pad or heatsink via the tungsten slug terminations, supporting repetitive 500 W surge handling without thermal runaway.
