Product details
Overview
JAN1N4106D-1 from Microsemi is a 12 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4106D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4106D-1 pinout, JAN1N4106D-1 application, or JAN1N4106D-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 12.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, 200 Ω maximum dynamic impedance, 0.05 µA maximum reverse leakage at 9.2 V, and -65 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a specified Zener voltage of 12.0 V at IZT = 250 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.080 %/°C and low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable regulation across wide current and temperature ranges.
Designed for high-reliability mil-spec applications, JAN1N4106D-1 features hermetic glass sealing, non-ESD-sensitive operation per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and radiation-hardened characteristics documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050 - all validated under JANS qualification level.

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 DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or wire-wrap | Select when automated assembly and board space reduction are prioritized over manual repairability |
| JANTXV1N4106-1 | Identical DO-35 package and 12 V/1% spec, but qualified only to JANTXV (not JANS) level | Lacks full space-level screening; not approved for Class S missions or critical fault-tolerant systems | Select for high-reliability ground-based military systems where JANS cost and lead time are prohibitive |
Compared with JAN1N4106D-1, 1N4106US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices mechanical robustness and hand-soldering compatibility, while JANTXV1N4106-1 reduces qualification rigor and radiation assurance - making JAN1N4106D-1 the sole choice for Class S spaceflight applications requiring full JANS validation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4106D-1?
JAN1N4106D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 12.0 V with a tight ±1% tolerance, designated by the "D" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range and is verified during JANS-level qualification testing, making JAN1N4106D-1 suitable for applications demanding high initial accuracy without post-manufacturing calibration.
Is JAN1N4106D-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, JAN1N4106D-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 and documented as radiation-hardened in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgical bond construction, hermetic DO-35 package, and full lot traceability meet Class S requirements for low-earth orbit missions - confirming JAN1N4106D-1 for use in satellite power and telemetry subsystems.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4106D-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JAN1N4106D-1 is 0.05 µA at VR = 9.2 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems where JAN1N4106D-1 serves as a precision reference.
Does JAN1N4106D-1 have RoHS compliance?
No, JAN1N4106D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature table on page 2, the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, which is available only on commercial-grade versions. JAN1N4106D-1 carries no "e3" suffix and uses traditional tin-lead plating, consistent with its JANS qualification and military specification requirements.
What is the thermal resistance of JAN1N4106D-1?
JAN1N4106D-1 has a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL) when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) on FR4 board with specified copper pad geometry. These values define the derating curve shown in Figure 2, where rated power linearly decreases from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
