Product details
Overview
MV1N8176US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless-hermetically-sealed unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) with 4 pF capacitance, 94 V working standoff voltage (VWM), and 150 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs. It features internal Category 1 metallurgical bonding and low-leakage operation (≤0.5 µA at VWM), designed for high-reliability ESD/EFT protection in aerospace, defense, and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MV1N8176US/TR datasheet, MV1N8176US/TR pinout, MV1N8176US/TR application, or MV1N8176US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (VC = 137 V), surge current rating (IPP = 300 A), temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage (αV(BR) = 0.106 %/°C), and RoHS-compliant axial-leaded glass package construction.
Technical Context
This TVS uses a unique series-connected rectifier diode in anti-parallel configuration to achieve ultra-low 4 pF capacitance while maintaining unidirectional clamping behavior. Its hard-glass hermetic seal and tungsten slug construction support operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
The device delivers 150 W peak pulse power under IEC 61000-4-5 surge conditions and meets IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) and IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) immunity requirements. Standby leakage remains ≤0.5 µA at 94 V standoff, enabling use in high-impedance signal paths without loading effects.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 94 V - Maximum continuous reverse-bias voltage before conduction begins; sets operating margin for protected circuitry. |
| V(BR) min | 104 V - Minimum breakdown voltage at 1 mA test current; ensures reliable clamping onset above normal operating voltage. |
| VC @ IPP | 137 V - Clamping voltage at 300 A peak impulse; defines maximum voltage seen by downstream ICs during surge events. |
| CT | 4 pF - Total capacitance at 0 V; enables use in >1 GHz RF front-ends and high-speed data lines without signal distortion. |
| PPP | 150 W - Peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs waveform; supports robust secondary lightning protection per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3. |
| ID @ VWM | ≤0.5 µA - Standby leakage current at rated standoff; preserves signal integrity in precision analog and low-power sensor interfaces. |
| TJ Range | –55 to +175 °C - Junction temperature range; qualified for extended-temperature military and avionics applications. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCJ93A | Surface-mount DO-214AB package; 93 V VWM; 170 W PPP; 15 pF capacitance. | Higher capacitance limits use to sub-100 MHz signals; lacks hermetic seal and Category 1 bond. | Select when board space is constrained and radiation/long-life requirements are not critical. |
| 1N8176US/TR (MV variant) | Same electrical specs; JANTXV-grade screening per MIL-PRF-19500; enhanced burn-in and lot traceability. | Required for flight-critical avionics where process controls and failure rate data are mandated. | Choose MV1N8176US/TR when full MIL-spec qualification, radiation tolerance, and 100% lot testing are required. |
Compared with SMCJ93A and the commercial 1N8176US/TR, MV1N8176US/TR provides superior long-term reliability via hermetic sealing and Category 1 metallurgy-critical for systems where field replacement is impossible and parametric stability over decades must be guaranteed.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MV1N8176US/TR at its rated peak surge current?
The MV1N8176US/TR has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 137 V when subjected to its rated 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 transient events. The MV1N8176US/TR maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its stable silicon junction and hermetic packaging.
Is MV1N8176US/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, MV1N8176US/TR is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" suffix in its nomenclature and confirmed in Microsemi's official documentation. The device uses matte tin plating over copper leads and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits. Compliance is verified per JEDEC J-STD-609 and applies to both commercial and MV-grade variants of the part.
How does the 4 pF capacitance of MV1N8176US/TR benefit high-frequency circuit protection?
The 4 pF capacitance of MV1N8176US/TR minimizes signal distortion and impedance mismatch in RF and high-speed digital paths-enabling effective transient suppression on interfaces such as L-band radar receivers, HDMI 2.0, and USB 3.1 Gen 2 without degrading rise time or insertion loss. This ultra-low CT is achieved via an internal series rectifier configuration, and the MV1N8176US/TR sustains it across DC to 1 GHz, unlike conventional TVS diodes with >10 pF.
What is the meaning of the "MV" prefix in MV1N8176US/TR?
The "MV" prefix in MV1N8176US/TR denotes JANTXV-level qualification per MIL-PRF-19500, indicating enhanced screening including extended temperature cycling, 100% lot testing, and tighter parameter limits versus commercial-grade 1N8176US/TR. The MV1N8176US/TR undergoes additional burn-in, hermeticity verification, and radiation hardness assurance-making it suitable for flight hardware and other safety-critical deployments where zero latent defects are mandatory.
Can MV1N8176US/TR be used for bidirectional transient protection?
No, MV1N8176US/TR is strictly unidirectional. For bidirectional protection, two MV1N8176US/TR devices must be connected in anti-parallel (cathode-to-anode), as documented in Figure 5 of the datasheet. This configuration doubles the effective capacitance to 8 pF but retains the same clamping voltage and surge capability per polarity. Direct substitution with a bidirectional TVS is not recommended due to the MV1N8176US/TR's unique low-capacitance architecture.
