Product details
Overview
JAN1N4108D-1 from Microsemi is a 14.0 V, 1% 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 JAN1N4108D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4108D-1 pinout, JAN1N4108D-1 application, or JAN1N4108D-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 1% Zener voltage tolerance, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, and hermetically sealed axial-leaded construction for stable regulation under thermal stress.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with cathode-banded polarity, requiring reverse bias (banded end positive) to enter breakdown. Its metallurgical bond ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at 14 V) and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It delivers stable regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 10.7 mA to 40 mA), with temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C and junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 250 °C/W when mounted with 10 mm lead length - critical for thermal management in sealed military enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 14.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise reference generation in analog power monitoring circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - supports operation in high-temperature avionics bays without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients in regulated DC-DC feedback paths. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 11.2 V - guarantees low quiescent current in battery-backed reference circuits. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.085 %/°C - allows predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable voltage references. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz at 14 V - supports low-noise analog signal conditioning where reference stability affects ADC accuracy. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - validated for operation in space-grade and missile guidance systems with extreme thermal cycling. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with hermetically sealed body, tin-lead plating, and cathode indicated by black band. Weight ≈0.2 g; body diameter 1.42–2.29 mm, length 3.56–5.08 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or common return; must be held at lower potential than cathode during regulation. |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Connected to unregulated input; reverse bias establishes stable 14.0 V reference at this node relative to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 JAN qualification | Validated reliability for mission-critical applications including launch vehicle power sequencing and radar bias supplies. |
| 1% Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces calibration overhead in precision voltage monitors used in flight control sensor interfaces. |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Enables inherent radiation hardness (per MicroNote 050) and long-term parameter stability in neutron-rich environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4108US-1 | Same 14.0 V, 1% spec but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads. | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or wire-wrap testing. | Select when automated pick-and-place and board space constraints outweigh manual assembly needs. |
| JANTXV1N4108D | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified to JANTXV level (higher screening, tighter lot controls). | Approved for Class H (100% burn-in, extended environmental testing) in strategic systems where JAN is insufficient. | Select when program requirements mandate JANTXV-level reliability documentation and traceability. |
Compared with JAN1N4108D-1, 1N4108US-1 offers footprint reduction at the cost of mechanical mounting flexibility, while JANTXV1N4108D provides enhanced process controls for programs requiring higher confidence in parametric consistency across production lots.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4108D-1?
JAN1N4108D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 14.0 V with ±1% tolerance, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tight tolerance is achieved via post-package sorting and is maintained across the full -65 °C to +175 °C operating range, making JAN1N4108D-1 suitable for precision reference applications where calibration drift must be minimized.
Is JAN1N4108D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4108D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature table on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, which is only available on commercial-grade versions. The JAN prefix indicates military qualification, and JAN1N4108D-1 uses standard tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, not RoHS-compliant matte tin.
What is the maximum Zener test current IZT for JAN1N4108D-1?
The maximum Zener test current IZT for JAN1N4108D-1 is 250 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This current defines the operating point at which VZ = 14.0 V and ZZT = 200 Ω are measured, and it aligns with the device's 500 mW power rating at 25 °C ambient temperature.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JAN1N4108D-1 in high-temp environments?
JAN1N4108D-1 has a temperature coefficient αVZ of +0.085 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 11.9 mV per °C rise above 25 °C. At +125 °C, VZ rises to ~15.2 V - a deviation that must be accounted for in closed-loop feedback designs. This predictable positive drift is leveraged in temperature-compensated reference circuits using complementary coefficients.
Can JAN1N4108D-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, JAN1N4108D-1 is packaged exclusively in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the 1N4108US-1 in DO-213AA package - same electrical specs but different mechanical form factor. Substituting JAN1N4108D-1 into an SMT layout would require mechanical adaptation and is not recommended.
