Product details
Overview
JAN1N4109C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 15 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, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4109C-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4109C-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4109C-1/TR application, or JAN1N4109C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage (15.0 V ±2%), dynamic impedance (200 Ω at 250 mA), noise density (40 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.085 %/°C), and JANS-qualified thermal derating behavior.
Technical Context
This axial-leaded Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, delivering stable regulation across 10–100 mA current range and -65°C to +175°C junction temperature. Its metallurgical bond ensures low leakage (≤0.05 µA at 12 V) and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The device exhibits minimal capacitance (<2 pF at 0 V), low forward voltage (1.1 V @ 200 mA), and linear power derating from 500 mW at 25°C to zero at 175°C - critical for thermally constrained military avionics and satellite subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 15.0 V ±2% at 250 mA - enables precision 15 V rail regulation with tight tolerance for analog references. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole layouts with 3/8″ lead length. |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω max at 250 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation under load transients. |
| Noise Density | 40 µV/√Hz - suitable for low-noise voltage references in precision instrumentation and ADC biasing. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4109C-1/TR?
JAN1N4109C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 15.0 V with a ±2% tolerance, 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, and applies across the full qualified temperature range (-65°C to +175°C) per MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements.
Is JAN1N4109C-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4109C-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation appears only on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4109C-1e3); JAN-level parts like JAN1N4109C-1/TR retain traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability and reliability requirements for high-reliability applications.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JAN1N4109C-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JAN1N4109C-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. This format is factory-authorized and maintains full JAN-level qualification; reel quantities and packaging details must be confirmed with Aetrix Electronics prior to order.
How is thermal derating applied to JAN1N4109C-1/TR?
JAN1N4109C-1/TR linearly derates from 500 mW at 25°C to zero at 175°C ambient on a typical FR4 board with 4 mm² copper pads. Derating begins at 50°C lead temperature, with RθJL = 250°C/W at 3/8″ lead length - critical for thermal design in sealed enclosures or high-power-density avionics chassis.
Can JAN1N4109C-1/TR be used as a low-noise voltage reference?
Yes, JAN1N4109C-1/TR delivers 40 µV/√Hz noise density at 15 V, making it suitable for low-noise analog references. Its metallurgical bond and hermetic glass package minimize 1/f noise and parameter drift, supporting stable performance in precision instrumentation - though external filtering may be needed for sub-10 µV/√Hz requirements.
