Product details
Overview
JAN1N4112-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 18.0 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current and ±5% voltage tolerance - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in military-grade power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4112-1 datasheet, JAN1N4112-1 pinout, JAN1N4112-1 application, or JAN1N4112-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 18.0 V nominal Zener voltage, 100 Ω Zener impedance at IZT = 250 mA, 0.05 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 14.4 V, -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, and metallurgically bonded glass construction for high-reliability analog reference design.
Technical Context
The JAN1N4112-1 operates as a reverse-biased Zener regulator with a nominal breakdown voltage of 18.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C and low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V, scaling with voltage). Its metallurgical bond ensures stable junction characteristics under thermal cycling.
Designed for high-reliability applications, it meets MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements at JAN level, supports axial-leaded through-hole mounting, and delivers regulated voltage across wide current (1–40 mA typical operating range) and temperature (-65 °C to +175 °C) extremes without external compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4112US | Same 18.0 V VZ, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no MIL qualification | Used in commercial PCBs where space constraints prohibit axial-leaded components | Select when RoHS-compliant SMT assembly is required and MIL screening is unnecessary |
| JANTX1N4112-1 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified to JANTX level (enhanced screening vs. JAN) | Required for systems demanding higher reliability assurance than JAN, e.g., missile guidance subsystems | Select when procurement specifications mandate JANTX-level testing per MIL-PRF-19500/435 |
Compared with 1N4112US and JANTX1N4112-1, the JAN1N4112-1 uniquely balances full MIL-qualified reliability at the entry-level JAN grade with axial-leaded manufacturability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive defense programs requiring traceable, screened components without JANTX overhead.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4112-1?
The JAN1N4112-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 18.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C with IZT = 250 mA.
Is JAN1N4112-1 RoHS compliant?
No - the JAN1N4112-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants (blank reliability level), not for JAN-level parts. The JAN1N4112-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4112-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JAN1N4112-1 is 0.05 µA at VR = 14.4 V (80% of VZ), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage supports low-power bias networks and high-impedance reference designs.
Can JAN1N4112-1 be used in surface-mount assemblies?
No - the JAN1N4112-1 is packaged exclusively in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the 1N4112UR-1 in DO-213AA and 1PMT4112 in DO-216, but these lack JAN qualification and differ in thermal and mechanical performance.
What is the temperature coefficient of JAN1N4112-1?
The temperature coefficient (αVZ) of JAN1N4112-1 is +0.090 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by 0.090% per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and critical for thermal drift budgeting in precision references.
