Product details
Overview
JAN1N4112C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 18.0 V ±2% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) 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 JAN1N4112C-1 datasheet, JAN1N4112C-1 pinout, JAN1N4112C-1 application, or JAN1N4112C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 18.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, 100 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.05 µA max reverse leakage at 14.4 V, +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient, and hermetically sealed axial-leaded construction for stable operation across -65 °C to +175 °C.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode band indicating polarity; it delivers precise 18.0 V regulation under DC bias at IZT = 250 mA, with low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical) and minimal capacitance (<2 pF). Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and thermal stability.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.090 %/°C), enabling predictable voltage drift over temperature, and supports linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C with junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 18.0 V ±2% at 250 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight tolerance for precision references. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TC = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins at 50 °C. |
| Zener Impedance | 100 Ω @ 250 mA - determines regulation stiffness and AC ripple rejection capability. |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.05 µA @ 14.4 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Temp. Coefficient | +0.090 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift magnitude per degree Celsius for thermal design margining. |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - enables low-noise analog references where spectral purity affects ADC accuracy. |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including space-grade and military platforms. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with hermetically sealed construction; cathode indicated by single black band on body; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4112US-1 | Same 18.0 V ±2% Zener voltage, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads. | Used where board space constraints prohibit axial-leaded components or automated placement is required. | Select when transitioning from through-hole to SMT assembly; requires PCB redesign due to different footprint and thermal path. |
| JANTXV1N4112C | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified to JANTXV level (higher screening than JAN). | Required for programs specifying JANTXV reliability level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. | Select only if JANTXV qualification is mandated; otherwise JAN1N4112C-1 meets standard high-reliability requirements at lower cost. |
Compared with 1N4112US-1 and JANTXV1N4112C, the JAN1N4112C-1 offers optimal balance of proven axial-leaded reliability, JAN-level qualification, and compatibility with legacy military hardware designs requiring DO-35 form factor and screening.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4112C-1?
The JAN1N4112C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 18.0 V with a tolerance of ±2%, denoted 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 operating temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C as supported by its MIL-PRF-19500/435 JAN qualification.
Is JAN1N4112C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4112C-1 is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation appears only on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4112C-1e3); the JAN prefix indicates military-specification qualification, which retains traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026. RoHS compliance is explicitly excluded for JAN-level parts in Microsemi's documentation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4112C-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4112C-1 is 0.05 µA at VR = 14.4 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This value is measured at 25 °C and reflects the device's ability to maintain high impedance in non-regulating states.
Does JAN1N4112C-1 have radiation hardness properties?
Yes, JAN1N4112C-1 is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and DO-35 hermetic package provide tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) and displacement damage, making it suitable for low-earth orbit and tactical radiation environments without additional shielding.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JAN1N4112C-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JAN1N4112C-1 is 250 °C/W when measured at 10 mm lead length from the package body, per the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This value assumes standard mounting conditions and is used to calculate allowable power dissipation at elevated lead temperatures.
