Product details
Overview
JAN1N4099-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 6.8 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4099-1 datasheet, JAN1N4099-1 pinout, JAN1N4099-1 application, or JAN1N4099-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% Zener tolerance, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, +0.060 %/°C temperature coefficient, and hermetically sealed glass construction for stable regulation under thermal stress.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, delivering precise 6.8 V regulation across 5.2 mA to 70 mA current range. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures low noise density (40 μV/√Hz), minimal capacitance (~56 pF), and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Designed for operation at junction temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C, it features linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C, with thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 6.8 V at 250 mA test current - defines nominal regulation point for precision reference design |
| Zener Tolerance | ±5% - sets absolute output voltage window of 6.46 V to 7.14 V at 25 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω - determines load regulation error: ~1.36 V change per 6.8 mA current shift |
| Max Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous regulation up to 73.5 mA at 6.8 V before thermal shutdown |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.060 %/°C - contributes +4.08 mV/°C drift, enabling predictable compensation in temp-stable references |
| Noise Density ND | 40 μV/√Hz - limits RMS noise to ~1.26 μV over 1 kHz–3 kHz band, critical for low-noise analog references |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 1.0 μA at 5.2 V - ensures negligible quiescent current draw below regulation threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | 6.8 V, ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, 500 Ω ZZT, +0.065 %/°C TC | Higher power but larger footprint and higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation precision | Select when higher power margin is needed and board space allows DO-41 mounting |
| JANTX1N4099US | Same 6.8 V, ±5%, DO-213AA surface-mount variant; identical electrical specs and JAN qualification | Replaces axial-leaded JAN1N4099-1 in space-constrained PCBs without changing circuit performance | Choose for automated SMT assembly where DO-35 lead forming is impractical |
Compared with 1N4734A, JAN1N4099-1 offers tighter thermal resistance (250 °C/W vs. ~400 °C/W) and lower ZZT for superior load regulation; compared with JANTX1N4099US, it retains identical reliability and regulation but requires manual axial insertion and lead trimming.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JAN1N4099-1?
JAN1N4099-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a ±5% tolerance at 250 mA test current, yielding a guaranteed regulation range of 6.46 V to 7.14 V at 25 °C. This tolerance is standard for the JAN-level version and reflects the tightest binning available in the 1N4099–1N4135 series per MIL-PRF-19500/435.
Is JAN1N4099-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4099-1 is not RoHS compliant. RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., 1N4099-1e3) are available only in commercial-grade variants per the nomenclature table; JAN-level parts retain traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability and reliability requirements.
What is the maximum operating temperature for JAN1N4099-1?
JAN1N4099-1 is rated for junction and storage temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C. Its power dissipation must be linearly derated from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C, supporting deployment in extreme environments such as jet engine bays or geothermal monitoring equipment.
How does the metallurgical bond in JAN1N4099-1 improve reliability?
The internal metallurgical bond in JAN1N4099-1 eliminates interfacial voids and intermetallic growth common in solder-bonded Zeners, reducing long-term voltage drift to <0.1% over 10,000 hours at rated stress and enhancing resistance to thermal cycling and mechanical shock per MIL-STD-883.
Can JAN1N4099-1 be used as a direct replacement for 1N4734A?
JAN1N4099-1 is not a direct replacement for 1N4734A due to different packages (DO-35 vs. DO-41), thermal resistances (250 °C/W vs. ~400 °C/W), and dynamic impedances (200 Ω vs. 500 Ω). While both regulate at 6.8 V, JAN1N4099-1 delivers superior load regulation and thermal response but requires axial-leaded board layout and JAN-level handling protocols.
