Product details
Overview
JAN1N4106-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 12.0 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with dynamic impedance of 200 Ω at 250 mA and max reverse current of 0.05 µA at 9.2 V, used for precision voltage regulation in military-grade power supplies and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4106-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4106-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4106-1/TR application, or JAN1N4106-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient (+0.080 %/°C), noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz), junction-to-lead thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and MIL-spec qualification level - all critical for high-reliability analog reference design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener test current fixed at 250 mA and specified Zener voltage of 12.0 V measured under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM) and supports operation from −65 °C to +175 °C.
The diode exhibits low dynamic impedance (200 Ω) and minimal capacitance (typ. <2 pF at 12 V), enabling stable performance in low-noise reference and feedback loop applications. Its noise density falls to ≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V, confirming suitability for precision analog signal conditioning where voltage reference stability is essential.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4106US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Used where PCB real estate or automated assembly requires SMT instead of through-hole | Select when board layout mandates SMT; verify thermal pad design for 250 °C/W junction-to-lead path |
| JANTXV1N4106-1 | Identical Zener parameters but qualified to JANTXV level (enhanced screening, tighter parametric limits) | Required for mission-critical systems demanding higher burn-in, life test, and lot acceptance standards | Select when program specification mandates JANTXV per MIL-PRF-19500/435 Table I |
Compared with JAN1N4106-1/TR, 1N4106US-1 offers identical regulation performance in SMT form for space-constrained layouts, while JANTXV1N4106-1 provides stricter screening and extended reliability validation - making the former ideal for volume production upgrades and the latter mandatory for flight-critical subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for JAN1N4106-1/TR?
JAN1N4106-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 12.0 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a Zener test current (IZT) of 250 mA under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C. This tolerance reflects the standard JEDEC specification for the 1N4099–1N4135 family and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening requirements.
Is JAN1N4106-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4106-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "JAN" prefix indicates military-grade qualification with tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750, and RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) is only available on commercial-grade versions such as 1N4106-1e3 - not applicable to JAN-level parts like JAN1N4106-1/TR.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JAN1N4106-1/TR?
"TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JAN1N4106-1/TR is supplied in reels with standardized orientation and spacing, supporting high-volume manufacturing while maintaining full JAN-level traceability and screening documentation for each reel lot.
How is the temperature coefficient of JAN1N4106-1/TR defined and applied?
JAN1N4106-1/TR has a temperature coefficient αVZ of +0.080 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by 0.080% per degree Celsius rise above 25 °C. This value is used to calculate expected voltage drift in thermal design margins and is confirmed across the full −65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range per MIL-PRF-19500/435.
Can JAN1N4106-1/TR be used as a replacement for commercial 1N4106-1?
JAN1N4106-1/TR shares identical electrical specifications with commercial 1N4106-1 but adds JAN-level screening, hermetic DO-35 packaging, and full MIL-PRF-19500/435 compliance. It is functionally interchangeable in circuits, though its higher reliability and traceability make it suitable for applications where commercial parts lack required qualification or longevity assurance.
