Product details
Overview
JAN1N4112C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 18.0 V ±2% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial 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 JAN1N4112C-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4112C-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4112C-1/TR application, or JAN1N4112C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), dynamic impedance (100 Ω at 250 mA), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.090 %/°C), and JANS-qualified thermal stability up to +175 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 18.0 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting low dynamic impedance (100 Ω) and minimal noise density (1 µV/√Hz). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across wide temperature ranges.
Designed for military-grade reliability, the JAN1N4112C-1/TR supports operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length and linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Key Specifications

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%, but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Required for automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole or manual repair | Select when board space is constrained and reflow compatibility is mandatory |
| JANTXV1N4112C-1 | Identical electrical specs, but qualified to JANTXV level with enhanced screening (e.g., 100% lot acceptance testing) | Needed for programs requiring higher reliability assurance than JAN level (e.g., manned spacecraft) | Select when program specification mandates JANTXV or higher qualification tier |
Compared with JAN1N4112C-1/TR, the 1N4112US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices axial-lead serviceability, while JANTXV1N4112C-1 adds screening rigor without altering voltage or thermal behavior - enabling trade-offs between manufacturability, repairability, and qualification depth.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4112C-1/TR?
JAN1N4112C-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This corresponds to a nominal 18.0 V Zener voltage ranging from 17.64 V to 18.36 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening.
Is JAN1N4112C-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4112C-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" suffix indicates RoHS compliance, which appears only on commercial-grade versions. JAN-level parts like JAN1N4112C-1/TR use traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and are exempt from RoHS under defense procurement waivers.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4112C-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4112C-1/TR is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 18.0 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 0.5 W / 18 V ≈ 27.8 mA), with margin extended to 40 mA per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2.
Does JAN1N4112C-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JAN1N4112C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification provide proven total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance suitable for low-earth orbit and tactical nuclear environments without additional shielding.
What does the "TR" suffix signify in JAN1N4112C-1/TR?
"TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JAN1N4112C-1/TR is supplied in reels containing standard quantities, with part marking and polarity band preserved per MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements for traceability and handling integrity.
