Product details
Overview
JAN1N4106C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 12 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±2% voltage tolerance, 250 mA test current, and 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 °C - used for precision voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4106C-1 datasheet, JAN1N4106C-1 pinout, JAN1N4106C-1 application, or JAN1N4106C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), junction temperature range (–65 to +175 °C), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation hardness, and hermetic DO-35 packaging for high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal 12 V Zener voltage at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.080 %/°C and low dynamic impedance (200 Ω) near regulation knee. It maintains stable regulation across wide current (0.05–9.2 mA max reverse leakage up to VR = 10 V) and temperature ranges.
Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures low noise (1 µV/√Hz), minimal capacitance (typ. <2 pF at 12 V), and inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - critical for space-grade analog references where ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 method 1020) and long-term parametric stability are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.0 V ±2% at 250 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops in DC-DC converters. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - sets thermal design margin for PCB copper pad layout. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Noise Density (ND) | 1 µV/√Hz - enables low-noise reference use in precision instrumentation and ADC biasing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N4106D-1 | ±1% Zener voltage tolerance vs. ±2% for JAN1N4106C-1; identical package, power rating, and temperature coefficient. | Used where tighter initial accuracy is required, e.g., metrology-grade calibration sources. | Select JAN1N4106D-1 only if system-level accuracy budget demands <±0.5% total reference error at 25 °C. |
| 1N4106US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating only. | Preferred for automated SMT assembly in compact avionics modules where board space is constrained. | Choose 1N4106US-1 when reflow compatibility, smaller footprint, and elimination of axial lead forming are prioritized over through-hole mechanical robustness. |
Compared with JAN1N4106C-1, JAN1N4106D-1 improves initial accuracy at no thermal or noise penalty, while 1N4106US-1 trades axial-mount ruggedness for SMT manufacturability - both retain identical regulation behavior and radiation hardness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4106C-1?
JAN1N4106C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 12.0 V with a tolerance of ±2%, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, and applies across the full operating junction temperature range of –65 to +175 °C for JAN1N4106C-1.
Is JAN1N4106C-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, JAN1N4106C-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 and exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its hermetic DO-35 package, metallurgical bond construction, and guaranteed parametric stability over –65 to +175 °C make JAN1N4106C-1 appropriate for LEO and GEO satellite power subsystems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4106C-1?
JAN1N4106C-1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 µA at VR = 10 V and 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems and ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference divider networks using JAN1N4106C-1.
Does JAN1N4106C-1 require derating above 25 °C?
Yes, JAN1N4106C-1 must be linearly derated starting at 50 °C lead temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. On a typical FR4 PCB with 4 mm² copper pads, it derates from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C - a critical constraint for thermal design when using JAN1N4106C-1 in enclosed avionics enclosures.
What does the "-1" suffix indicate in JAN1N4106C-1?
The "-1" suffix in JAN1N4106C-1 denotes compliance with Microsemi's standard screening and testing protocol for the 1N4099–1N4135 series, including full MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification, hermeticity verification, and lot traceability. It confirms that JAN1N4106C-1 meets all electrical, mechanical, and reliability requirements specified in T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1.
