Product details
Overview
JAN1N4102C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 8.7 V ±2% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) 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 JAN1N4102C-1 datasheet, JAN1N4102C-1 pinout, JAN1N4102C-1 application, or JAN1N4102C-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 8.7 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, 200 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 7.0 V, ±2% tolerance, and -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with stable breakdown behavior across wide current (250 mA IZT) and temperature (-65 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250 °C/W).
It delivers low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages), minimal capacitance (see Figure 3), and radiation-hardened performance per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - critical for space-grade analog reference and biasing circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 8.7 V ±2% at 250 mA - enables precise mid-range voltage reference in regulated power rails. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports stable operation in compact axial-leaded designs with linear derating to zero at 175 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω at 250 mA - ensures tight regulation under varying load conditions without external compensation. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.5 µA max at 7.0 V - minimizes standby current loss in low-power bias networks. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.075 %/°C - provides predictable, positive drift for temperature-compensated reference stacking. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz (typical) - suitable for low-noise analog references where spectral purity matters. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - certified for extended environmental operation in military avionics and satellite subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with hermetically sealed construction; cathode indicated by band; tin-lead plating; weight ≈ 0.2 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to system ground or lowest potential node when used in shunt regulation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation output | Banded end; connected to input rail; maintains 8.7 V relative to anode during reverse bias operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 JAN qualification | Validated reliability for mission-critical applications requiring traceable lot data and screening per military standards. |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates wire-bond fatigue failure modes and improves thermal cycling endurance in harsh environments. |
| Low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) | Enables use in precision analog references where broadband noise would degrade ADC accuracy or op-amp stability. |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in high-humidity or vacuum-operated systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N4102D-1 | Same 8.7 V nominal voltage but ±1% tolerance instead of ±2%. | Required where tighter initial accuracy is needed for calibration-critical instrumentation. | Select JAN1N4102D-1 only if system-level calibration budget demands sub-1% absolute reference error. |
| 1N4102UR-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package (no axial leads). | Used in automated SMT production lines where through-hole assembly is not supported. | Choose 1N4102UR-1 when board space constraints or manufacturing flow require SMT compatibility. |
Compared with JAN1N4102C-1, JAN1N4102D-1 offers higher initial accuracy at cost premium and identical reliability screening, while 1N4102UR-1 retains full electrical equivalence but replaces axial leads with surface-mount terminations - neither is pin-compatible due to differing package form factors.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JAN1N4102C-1?
JAN1N4102C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 8.7 V with a ±2% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current (IZT) and 25 °C ambient. This tolerance is denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature standard and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening requirements.
Is JAN1N4102C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4102C-1 is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4102C-1e3); the JAN prefix indicates military-grade qualification with tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750, which is exempt from RoHS restrictions.
What package type does JAN1N4102C-1 use?
JAN1N4102C-1 uses the DO-35 (also designated DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package. It features hermetic sealing, tin-lead terminal plating, and polarity indicated by a cathode band - dimensions conform to Microsemi's Package Dimensions drawing on page 5 of T4-LDS-0245-2.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for JAN1N4102C-1?
JAN1N4102C-1 is rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature. Power must be linearly derated starting at 50 °C lead temperature, reaching zero at 175 °C, per the curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Does JAN1N4102C-1 have radiation-hardened characteristics?
Yes, JAN1N4102C-1 exhibits inherent radiation hardness as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and process design provide tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) - a key requirement for satellite and high-altitude avionics where JAN1N4102C-1 is commonly deployed.
