Product details
Overview
MV1N8175US/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, 95.0 V minimum breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 82.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and ultra-low 4 pF capacitance - enabling ESD/EFT protection in RF front-ends, avionics data buses, and MIL-STD-750-compliant systems.
For engineers reviewing the MV1N8175US/TR datasheet, MV1N8175US/TR pinout, MV1N8175US/TR application, or MV1N8175US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Category 1 metallurgical bond, hermetic glass package, low-leakage standby current (0.5 µA max at VWM), and IEC61000-4-2/4-4 compliance - all critical for radiation-hardened, lightning-protected, and fail-safe embedded designs.
Technical Context
This TVS employs a unique series-connected rectifier diode in anti-parallel configuration with the avalanche junction to achieve 4 pF total capacitance while maintaining unidirectional clamping behavior. Its hard-glass hermetic construction ensures zero internal voids and supports operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
The device uses internal tungsten slugs and Category 1 metallurgical bonds for mechanical robustness and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. Clamping occurs at ≤137.0 V (VC) under 300 A IPP surge, with thermal resistance RθJA = 150 °C/W and steady-state power rating of 1.0 W at 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power (10/1000 µs) | 150 W - sustains single high-energy transients without degradation in telecom or aerospace surge environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ82A | Surface-mount DO-214AB package; 6.5 pF capacitance; 1500 W peak power; 113 V VC @ 300 A | Higher clamping voltage and capacitance; suited for PCB space-constrained but less RF-sensitive applications | Select when board real estate is limited and RF bandwidth < 500 MHz; not suitable for hermetic or radiation-hardened use |
| 1N6322 | Axial-leaded, non-hermetic epoxy package; 100 W PPP; 100 V V(BR); 140 V VC @ 200 A; no radiation hardness spec | Lacks Category 1 bond and hermetic seal; lower surge rating and higher capacitance (~10 pF) | Acceptable for commercial industrial controls where reliability and radiation tolerance are not required |

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MV1N8175US/TR at its rated peak surge current?
The MV1N8175US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137.0 V when subjected to a 300 A peak impulse current (IPP) 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 a worst-case transient event. The low VC relative to its 95.0 V breakdown voltage reflects efficient avalanche conduction and minimal dynamic impedance.
Is MV1N8175US/TR compliant with RoHS and lead-free soldering standards?
Yes, MV1N8175US/TR is RoHS compliant (e3 marking) and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its axial leads feature matte tin plating over copper, eliminating lead content while maintaining compatibility with standard wave and hand-solder processes. The hermetic glass body remains unaffected by high-temperature solder profiles.
Does MV1N8175US/TR support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, MV1N8175US/TR is strictly unidirectional. Bidirectional protection requires two MV1N8175US/TR devices connected in anti-parallel, as documented in Figure 5 of the datasheet. This configuration doubles the effective capacitance to 8 pF but provides symmetrical clamping for AC-coupled or differential signal lines.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of MV1N8175US/TR?
MV1N8175US/TR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 150 °C/W. Its steady-state power rating is 1.0 W at 25 °C ambient, derating linearly to zero at +175 °C junction temperature, per the Figure 3 derating curve. For pulsed operation, peak power remains 150 W regardless of ambient, provided duty cycle stays below 0.01%.
How does the "Category 1 metallurgical bond" in MV1N8175US/TR improve reliability?
The Category 1 metallurgical bond in MV1N8175US/TR refers to a controlled, diffusion-based intermetallic interface between the silicon die and tungsten slug, certified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2035. This bond resists mechanical fatigue under thermal cycling and vibration, prevents delamination during thermal shock, and ensures stable electrical contact over 20+ years - a requirement for satellite and nuclear instrumentation deployments.
