Plastic TVS devices meet MIL-grade requirements

Microchip’s JANPTX transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are among the first to achieve MIL-PRF-19500 qualification in a plastic package. With a working voltage range from 5 V to 175 V, the JANPTX family provides a lightweight, cost-effective alternative to conventional hermetic TVS devices while maintaining required military performance.

Rated to clamp transients up to 1.5 kW (10/1000 µs waveform) and featuring response times under 100 ps (internal testing), the devices protect sensitive electronics in aerospace and defense systems. These surface-mount, unidirectional TVS diodes mitigate voltage transients caused by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge, and electrical surges.

JANPTX TVS devices safeguard airborne avionics, electrical systems, and other mission-critical applications where low voltage and high reliability are required. They protect against switching transients, RF-induced effects, EMP, and secondary lightning, meeting IEC61000-4-2, -4-4, and -4-5 standards.

Available now in production quantities, the JANPTX product line spans 84 device variants with multiple JAN-qualified ordering options. View the datasheet for full specifications and application information.
