Product details
Overview
JAN1N4118D-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 27.0 V, 1% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4118D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4118D-1 pinout, JAN1N4118D-1 application, or JAN1N4118D-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, noise density, and military qualification details critical for radiation-hardened, low-noise, precision reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, delivering stable 27.0 V regulation at 250 mA test current (IZT). Its metallurgical bond ensures low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250 °C/W) and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It exhibits a +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient, 150 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT, and 1 µV/√Hz noise density - optimized for low-drift references where stability across -65 to +175 °C junction temperature is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 27.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise voltage clamping or reference generation with tight initial tolerance. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - supports robust operation in high-temp environments with defined thermal margin. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 150 Ω at 250 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes in regulation circuits. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz - provides ultra-low noise performance essential for precision analog references and metrology-grade systems. |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.090 %/°C - guarantees predictable, monotonic voltage drift over wide temperature range for compensated designs. |
| Max Reverse Current IR | 0.01 µA at 20.5 V - ensures negligible leakage in high-impedance bias networks and standby modes. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 to +175 °C - validated for extreme-environment use in space, avionics, and nuclear instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N4118C-1 | Same 27.0 V nominal, but ±2% tolerance instead of ±1%. | Acceptable where tighter initial accuracy is not required; lower cost. | Select when system-level calibration compensates for wider tolerance band. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 1N4118US | Same electrical specs, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package (no axial leads). | Required for automated SMT assembly; lacks axial mounting flexibility. | Select when board space constraints or reflow-only production mandate SMT form factor. |
Compared with JAN1N4118D-1, the C-grade offers relaxed tolerance at lower cost for non-critical references, while the US variant trades axial-mount versatility for SMT compatibility - neither provides identical 1% tolerance and DO-35 mechanical interface in a single package.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JAN1N4118D-1?
JAN1N4118D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27.0 V with a ±1% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current (IZT) and 25 °C ambient. This tight tolerance eliminates post-production trimming in high-accuracy reference designs and is confirmed in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet, Page 3.
Is JAN1N4118D-1 qualified for space or radiation environments?
Yes, JAN1N4118D-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 and exhibits inherent radiation hardness as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures stable parametric performance under neutron and gamma irradiation, making it suitable for LEO satellite and nuclear instrumentation use.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of JAN1N4118D-1?
JAN1N4118D-1 has a rated average power dissipation of 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C junction temperature. Derating begins at 50 °C lead temperature, with RθJL = 250 °C/W enabling effective passive cooling when mounted with 3/8″ lead length - data sourced from T4-LDS-0245-2, Page 1.
Does JAN1N4118D-1 have low noise characteristics suitable for precision references?
Yes, JAN1N4118D-1 delivers 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 250 mA, verified per Figure 1 test circuit in T4-LDS-0245-2. This ultra-low noise supports high-resolution analog systems such as gamma spectrometry front-ends and metrology-grade voltage references where signal integrity is paramount.
What package type and polarity marking does JAN1N4118D-1 use?
JAN1N4118D-1 uses the hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package. Polarity is marked with a cathode band on the banded end, which must be biased positive relative to the anode (non-banded end) for Zener regulation - specified in the Mechanical and Packaging section of T4-LDS-0245-2, Page 2.
