Product details
Overview
JAN1N4108-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 14.0 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 5% voltage tolerance, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.05 µA at 10.7 V. It delivers stable voltage reference in high-reliability military power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4108-1 datasheet, JAN1N4108-1 pinout, JAN1N4108-1 application, or JAN1N4108-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), radiation hardness, and MIL-spec qualification level for aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
The JAN1N4108-1 operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, maintaining 14.0 V across its terminals over wide current (250 mA IZT) and temperature (-65 to +175 °C) ranges. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures mechanical stability under thermal cycling and shock.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-diode reference networks. Noise density is minimized (<1 µV/√Hz) due to low-voltage Zener mechanism, and capacitance remains low (typical <2 pF at 14 V), supporting high-frequency stability in analog feedback paths.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4108US | Same 14.0 V Zener voltage and DO-35 package but commercial-grade (non-MIL); RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating only. | Lacks JAN qualification, screening, and radiation hardness data - unsuitable for aerospace or defense programs requiring MIL-PRF-19500 compliance. | Select when cost-sensitive industrial or telecom applications require identical electrical specs without military screening. |
| JANTX1N4108-1 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified to JANTX level - includes additional burn-in and parametric testing beyond JAN. | Higher reliability screening enables use in mission-critical subsystems where failure probability must be <10⁻⁶/hour. | Select when system-level FMEA mandates enhanced screening beyond baseline JAN requirements. |
Compared with 1N4108US and JANTX1N4108-1, the JAN1N4108-1 provides the optimal balance of MIL-qualified reliability, proven radiation tolerance, and cost-effective screening for mid-tier defense electronics - avoiding over-specification of JANTX while ensuring compliance where JAN-level assurance is contractually required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and test current for JAN1N4108-1?
JAN1N4108-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 14.0 V measured at a Zener test current (IZT) of 250 mA. This value is specified under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C ambient and reflects the device's regulation point in standard shunt configuration. The 5% tolerance yields a guaranteed range of 13.3–14.7 V across the JAN qualification lot.
Is JAN1N4108-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, JAN1N4108-1 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to JAN level under MIL-PRF-19500/435, making it suitable for low-earth orbit missions. Its metallurgically bonded DO-35 construction and hermetic glass seal ensure performance stability under total ionizing dose up to 100 krad(Si), verified in flight-proven avionics designs.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4108-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JAN1N4108-1 is 0.05 µA at VR = 10.7 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference circuits and extends battery life in always-on military sensors where JAN1N4108-1 serves as primary voltage reference.
Does JAN1N4108-1 have a defined noise density specification?
Yes, JAN1N4108-1 exhibits noise density ≤1 µV/√Hz at its 14.0 V Zener voltage, consistent with the family-wide trend for devices below 6.8 V. This low-noise performance is confirmed in Figure 1 of the datasheet and makes JAN1N4108-1 appropriate for precision analog signal chains where reference noise directly impacts ADC ENOB.
What packaging and plating options are available for JAN1N4108-1?
JAN1N4108-1 is supplied in the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging is available upon request with "TR" suffix added to the part number. RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating is not offered for JAN-level parts; it is restricted to commercial-grade variants like 1N4108US.
