Product details
Overview
JAN1N4118C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 27 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.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4118C-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4118C-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4118C-1/TR application, or JAN1N4118C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.090 %/°C), and JANS-qualified thermal derating behavior up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (150 Ω) and minimal capacitance (<1 pF typical). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The diode is polarity-marked with a cathode band and requires reverse-bias operation (banded end positive) for regulation. It delivers stable regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 20.5 mA to 40 mA) and maintains low noise density - critical for reference circuits in analog signal chains and precision instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 27.0 V ±2% at 250 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops in regulated DC-DC converters |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR4 PCBs |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 150 Ω at 250 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - enables use in low-noise voltage references for ADCs and sensor front-ends |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.090 %/°C - quantifies drift over temperature; supports predictable compensation in wide-range environments |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 10 nA @ 21.3 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or battery-backed systems |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - qualifies for extended-temperature military and avionics applications |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead plating; cathode indicated by band; weight ≈ 0.2 g.
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4118US-1 | Same 27 V, 2% Zener voltage but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires SMT reflow assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or wire-wrap boards | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is used |
| JANTXV1N4118C-1 | Identical electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level with enhanced screening and tighter lot traceability | Required for programs mandating JANTXV-level documentation and failure analysis reporting | Select when contractual requirements specify JANTXV qualification beyond JAN |
Compared with JAN1N4118C-1/TR, the 1N4118US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a compact SMT form factor, while JANTXV1N4118C-1 adds extended screening rigor - both serve distinct mechanical and compliance needs without altering core voltage regulation behavior.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4118C-1/TR?
JAN1N4118C-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This means its nominal 27 V Zener voltage falls within 26.46 V to 27.54 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening.
Is JAN1N4118C-1/TR RoHS compliant?
JAN1N4118C-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4118C-1e3); JAN-level parts like JAN1N4118C-1/TR use traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and are exempt from RoHS under military procurement waivers.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in JAN1N4118C-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JAN1N4118C-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. This version contains the same JAN-qualified die and DO-35 package as the bulk version but is supplied on carrier tape for high-volume manufacturing.
How is polarity marked on JAN1N4118C-1/TR?
JAN1N4118C-1/TR uses a single cathode band near one lead end to indicate polarity. For proper Zener regulation, the banded (cathode) end must be held at a higher potential than the unmarked (anode) end - i.e., reverse-biased operation - with current flowing from cathode to anode.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4118C-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4118C-1/TR is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 27 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 0.5 W / 27 V ≈ 18.5 mA), but specified as 40 mA in Microsemi's Electrical Characteristics table to account for thermal margin and transient capability under controlled lead-temperature conditions.
