Product details
Overview
JAN1N4106C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 12 V, 2% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 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 JAN1N4106C-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4106C-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4106C-1/TR application, or JAN1N4106C-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, noise density, and military qualification status - critical for precision biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection in harsh-environment analog circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a nominal 12 V regulation at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting +0.080 %/°C temperature coefficient and 200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) - enabling stable reference generation across industrial temperature ranges.
Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at 12 V), minimal capacitance (≈2.5 pF), and radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - supporting use in low-noise instrumentation and space-grade analog subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 12.0 V ±2% at 250 mA - precise reference for analog signal conditioning and power supply feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TC = 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact through-hole designs without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω @ IZT = 250 mA - limits output voltage variation under load transients in regulated supplies |
| Temperature Coefficient αVZ | +0.080 %/°C - predictable positive drift enables compensation in multi-stage references |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz @ 12 V - ultra-low broadband noise suitable for precision ADC references and sensor excitation |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.05 µA @ VR = 9.2 V - negligible current draw in standby mode for battery-backed systems |
| Max Regulator Current IZM | 9.2 mA @ 12 V - defines safe operating limit before thermal runaway under worst-case derating |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package; cathode indicated by band; banded end is anode when used as Zener regulator (cathode grounded).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Zener cathode connection point | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| Cathode (unbanded end) | Zener anode connection point | Typically tied to system ground or common return; establishes reference potential |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4106US-1 | Same 12 V, 2% spec but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mounting | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is available |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4106C-1/TR?
JAN1N4106C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 12.0 V with a ±2% tolerance, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is guaranteed at 25 °C with 250 mA test current (IZT) and applies to all units qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. The JAN1N4106C-1/TR maintains this specification across its qualified temperature range.
Is JAN1N4106C-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, JAN1N4106C-1/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full designation (though often omitted in shorthand). Per Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, RoHS-compliant versions use annealed matte-tin plating and meet exemption 7a. This compliance applies only to commercial-grade variants; JAN-level units retain tin-lead plating unless explicitly ordered with e3.
What is the maximum power dissipation of JAN1N4106C-1/TR at 75 °C ambient?
At 75 °C ambient, JAN1N4106C-1/TR's rated average power dissipation is linearly derated from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C, yielding approximately 375 mW. This derating follows the curve in Figure 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 and assumes standard FR4 mounting with 4 mm² copper pads. Exceeding this limit risks thermal instability in the JAN1N4106C-1/TR junction.
Does JAN1N4106C-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JAN1N4106C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction provides tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si) and resilience against single-event effects (SEE), making it suitable for low-earth orbit satellite subsystems without additional shielding - a key feature of the JAN1N4106C-1/TR family.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JAN1N4106C-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. The JAN1N4106C-1/TR variant contains the same die, qualification, and electrical specs as the bulk version but is supplied on reels for high-volume SMT production. Microsemi specifies reel quantities upon request, and the JAN1N4106C-1/TR marking remains identical to the non-TR part.
