Product details
Overview
MV1N8158US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless-hermetically-sealed unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for high-reliability, high-frequency signal line protection. It delivers 150 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs, features 4 pF capacitance, and has a 17.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM) with 27.7 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 300 A IPP.
For engineers reviewing the MV1N8158US/TR datasheet, MV1N8158US/TR pinout, MV1N8158US/TR application, or MV1N8158US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include low-capacitance ESD/EFT protection per IEC61000-4-2/4-4, Category 1 metallurgical bonding for radiation-hardened environments, and axial-leaded through-hole mounting compatibility in hard-glass hermetic construction.
Technical Context
This TVS employs a unique series-connected rectifier diode in anti-parallel configuration with the avalanche junction to achieve ultra-low 4 pF capacitance while maintaining unidirectional operation. Its voidless hermetic glass package ensures long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress.
The device operates across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, supports 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, and exhibits 0.090 %/°C breakdown voltage temperature coefficient - enabling stable clamping performance in wide-temperature industrial and aerospace systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ17A | Surface-mount DO-214AB package; 6.5 pF capacitance; 21.2 V VC @ 300 A; 1700 W PPP rating | Higher clamping voltage and capacitance; suited for lower-frequency power rails, not RF or high-speed data | Select when board space is constrained and RF performance is not required; requires re-layout due to SMD footprint |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MV1N8158US/TR at its rated peak surge current?
The MV1N8158US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 27.7 V at 300 A peak impulse current (IPP) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at 25 °C ambient and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during a transient event. The low VC ensures sensitive downstream components like RF amplifiers or ADC inputs remain within safe operating limits. MV1N8158US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Is MV1N8158US/TR suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No - MV1N8158US/TR is a unidirectional TVS diode, optimized for clamping positive transients relative to ground. For bidirectional protection, two MV1N8158US/TR devices must be connected in anti-parallel (anode-to-anode), as documented in Microsemi's Figure 5. This configuration doubles the effective capacitance to 8 pF but preserves low-clamp performance in both polarities. MV1N8158US/TR itself does not support symmetrical clamping without external pairing.
What does the "MV" prefix indicate in MV1N8158US/TR?
The "MV" prefix in MV1N8158US/TR denotes JANTXV-level reliability qualification per MIL-PRF-19500, including enhanced screening, burn-in, and lot traceability for high-reliability applications. It signifies compliance with military specification requirements for temperature cycling, hermeticity, and radiation hardness - distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like 1N8158US (no prefix) or MQ/MS versions. MV1N8158US/TR is fully traceable and certified for use in space and avionics systems.
Does MV1N8158US/TR meet IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4 standards?
Yes - MV1N8158US/TR provides ESD protection compliant with IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV contact, ±20 kV air) and EFT protection compliant with IEC61000-4-4 (40 A, 5/50 ns). These capabilities are enabled by its low clamping voltage, fast response time (<1 ns), and robust junction design. The device's 4 pF capacitance ensures minimal coupling of ESD energy into protected lines, and its Category 1 metallurgical bond guarantees performance stability after repeated stress events. MV1N8158US/TR is explicitly cited in Microsemi documentation for these standards.
What is the thermal resistance and steady-state power rating of MV1N8158US/TR?
MV1N8158US/TR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 150 °C/W and a steady-state average power rating (PM(AV)) of 1.0 W at TA = 25 °C. This means that under continuous DC bias at VWM (17.0 V), the device can safely dissipate up to 1.0 W without exceeding its maximum junction temperature of +175 °C - assuming adequate PCB copper area or heatsinking. The 150 °C/W RθJA reflects its axial-leaded glass package's inherent thermal limitations, requiring careful layout for sustained power handling. MV1N8158US/TR is not intended for continuous power regulation.
