Product details
Overview
MV1N8167US/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 40.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM) with 64.6 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 300 A IPP.
For engineers reviewing the MV1N8167US/TR datasheet, MV1N8167US/TR pinout, MV1N8167US/TR application, or MV1N8167US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include low-capacitance ESD/EFT protection per IEC61000-4-2/4-4, Category 1 metallurgical bond reliability, and axial-leaded through-hole mounting compatibility in hard-glass 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 total capacitance-critical for preserving signal integrity in RF, datacom, and high-baud-rate interfaces. Its hermetically sealed voidless glass package ensures stable electrical performance across -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
The device operates as a unidirectional clamp with 40.0 V VWM and 64.6 V VC at 300 A, supporting secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5. It exhibits 0.101 %/°C breakdown voltage temperature coefficient and maintains <0.5 µA standby current at rated standoff voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 40.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; sets upper limit for protected line DC bias. |
| VC @ IPP=300 A | 64.6 V - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; defines worst-case overvoltage seen by downstream circuitry. |
| PPP | 150 W - Peak pulse power handling at 25°C; determines survivability against standardized lightning-induced transients. |
| CT | 4 pF - Total small-signal capacitance; enables use on >1 GHz RF paths and high-speed serial links without signal degradation. |
| TJ Range | -55°C to +175°C - Full operational junction temperature range; supports aerospace, downhole, and military environments. |
| αV(BR) | 0.101 %/°C - Temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage; enables accurate thermal derating in wide-temperature designs. |
| ID @ VWM | <0.5 µA - Standby leakage current at rated standoff; minimizes power loss and avoids false triggering in high-impedance circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded, voidless hermetically sealed hard-glass case with tungsten slugs; cathode band marking; RoHS-compliant matte tin plating over copper leads; weight ≈ 340 mg.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Transient current sink terminal under reverse bias | Connected to protected line; conducts surge current toward ground when Vline exceeds VWM. |
| Cathode | Reference terminal (marked with band) | Typically tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; establishes polarity-sensitive clamping direction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates internal moisture and particle migration-ensures long-term parameter stability in harsh environments. |
| Category 1 metallurgical bond | Internal bond structure qualified for high-reliability applications including space-grade and defense systems. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Enhances surface insulation resistance and prevents leakage path formation under humidity or contamination stress. |
| Low 4 pF capacitance | Preserves signal rise time and impedance matching on RF antennas, Ethernet PHYs, and USB 3.x lines. |
| IEC61000-4-2/4-4 compliance | Validated ESD (±15 kV air/±8 kV contact) and EFT (40 A, 5/50 ns) immunity without external filtering components. |
Applications
| RF Front-End Protection | Avionics Data Bus Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ40A | Surface-mount DO-214AB package; 69.4 V VC @ 300 A; 170 W PPP; 100 pF capacitance. | Higher capacitance limits use to sub-100 MHz signals; SMT footprint requires PCB redesign. | Select when board space is constrained and RF performance is not critical. |
| 1N6330 | Axial-leaded, 40 V VWM, 64.5 V VC @ 300 A, but uses epoxy package; no Category 1 bond; 10 pF capacitance. | Lacks hermetic seal and metallurgical qualification; unsuitable for extended-life aerospace deployments. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial control where full MIL-spec reliability is not required. |
Compared with SMCJ40A and 1N6330, MV1N8167US/TR uniquely combines axial-leaded through-hole compatibility, 4 pF capacitance, and Category 1 hermetic reliability-making it the only option for high-frequency, mission-critical analog signal protection where zero parameter drift over 20+ years is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MV1N8167US/TR at its rated peak surge current?
The MV1N8167US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 64.6 V when subjected to a 300 A peak impulse current with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at 25°C ambient and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The MV1N8167US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full -55°C to +175°C operating junction temperature range, with minimal derating up to 125°C.
Is MV1N8167US/TR suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No-MV1N8167US/TR is a unidirectional TVS diode. For bidirectional protection, two MV1N8167US/TR devices must be connected in anti-parallel configuration, as documented in Figure 5 of the original Microsemi datasheet. This arrangement doubles the effective capacitance to 8 pF but retains the same 40.0 V standoff and 64.6 V clamping capability in both polarities.
Does MV1N8167US/TR meet RoHS requirements?
Yes-MV1N8167US/TR is an RoHS-compliant variant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full nomenclature. Its axial leads feature matte tin plating over copper, satisfying EU Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments. The hermetic glass package contains no lead-based solder or hazardous substances above threshold limits.
What is the thermal resistance of MV1N8167US/TR, and how does it affect power dissipation?
The MV1N8167US/TR has a thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) of 150°C/W. At 25°C ambient, its steady-state average power rating is 1.0 W. This means sustained power dissipation above 1.0 W will cause junction temperature to exceed safe limits unless heatsinking or forced-air cooling is applied. The 150 W peak pulse rating applies only to short-duration transients (≤1000 µs), not continuous operation.
How does the "MV" prefix in MV1N8167US/TR relate to reliability grading?
The "MV" prefix denotes JANTXV-level reliability qualification per MIL-PRF-19500, indicating enhanced screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity testing. MV-grade parts like MV1N8167US/TR are certified for high-reliability applications such as spaceflight, airborne radar, and nuclear instrumentation-where failure modes must be statistically bounded to less than 100 FIT (failures in time).
