Product details
Overview
JAN1N4120D-1 from Microsemi is a 30 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW 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 JAN1N4120D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4120D-1 pinout, JAN1N4120D-1 application, or JAN1N4120D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), dynamic impedance (200 Ω @ 250 mA), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C), and JANS-level radiation hardness.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 30.0 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting low dynamic impedance (200 Ω) and minimal capacitance (typ. <2 pF). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
The JAN1N4120D-1 delivers 1% initial voltage tolerance and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in unregulated DC-DC feedback paths and reference circuits where drift must be minimized over wide ambient ranges.

Applications
| Aerospace Power Reference | Defense System Bias Network |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stable 30 V reference in satellite DC-DC converter feedback loop operating across -55 °C to +125 °C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt Zener reference providing error amplifier input voltage for isolated flyback regulation. Use Value: 1% tolerance and +0.095 %/°C TC ensure <±2.5% total drift over full temperature range - meeting MIL-STD-704E line regulation requirements. | Use Scenario: Precision bias source for RF power amplifier stages in radar transceivers exposed to ESD and vibration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, ESD-immune voltage clamp regulating gate bias in GaN HEMT driver circuits. Use Value: 1 µV/√Hz noise density prevents AM-to-PM conversion; non-sensitive ESD rating per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 eliminates need for external protection. |
| Nuclear Instrumentation Supply | High-Temp Industrial Sensor Excitation |
Use Scenario: Radiation-tolerant 30 V reference for scintillation detector PMT high-voltage supplies in nuclear monitoring equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage reference in linear HV generator feedback path, operating continuously at 150 °C junction temperature. Use Value: Inherent radiation hardness (no TID-induced parameter shift) and 175 °C max TJ rating eliminate derating or shielding - reducing BOM count by one component. | Use Scenario: Excitation voltage source for RTD bridges in downhole oil/gas logging tools operating at 175 °C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable shunt regulator supplying constant 30 V to Wheatstone bridge, compensating for lead resistance drift. Use Value: Metallurgical bond and -65 °C to +175 °C rating maintain regulation stability without thermal runaway - enabling single-point calibration over full operational envelope. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4120US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires rework of through-hole layout; suited for space-constrained PCBs with automated assembly | Select when board real estate is limited and reflow compatibility is required |
| JANTXV1N4120D-1 | Identical Zener parameters and 1% tolerance, but qualified only to JANTXV (not JANS); lower screening rigor | Approved for airborne but not spaceflight; unsuitable for Class S radiation environments | Select for cost-sensitive airborne platforms where full JANS testing is unnecessary |
Compared with JAN1N4120D-1, the 1N4120US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a surface-mount form factor - eliminating through-hole assembly but requiring PCB redesign; the JANTXV1N4120D-1 provides matching electrical behavior at lower qualification cost, yet lacks JANS-level radiation assurance and thermal cycling validation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4120D-1?
JAN1N4120D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 30.0 V with ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature per Microsemi's part numbering system. This tight tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and enables high-accuracy voltage references without post-production calibration.
Is JAN1N4120D-1 qualified for space applications?
Yes, JAN1N4120D-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, making it suitable for spaceflight applications. It undergoes full lot acceptance testing including radiation hardness assurance (RHA), thermal cycling, and burn-in - all documented in Microsemi's QML listing for Class S devices.
What is the maximum junction temperature for JAN1N4120D-1?
The maximum junction temperature for JAN1N4120D-1 is +175 °C, with a minimum of -65 °C. This extended range is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/435 and supports operation in high-temperature environments such as engine-mounted avionics or downhole drilling electronics.
Does JAN1N4120D-1 require external ESD protection?
No, JAN1N4120D-1 is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and does not require external protection circuitry. Its metallurgically bonded structure and hermetic glass package provide intrinsic immunity to electrostatic discharge events common in handling and assembly.
What is the noise density specification for JAN1N4120D-1?
JAN1N4120D-1 has a maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz at 250 mA Zener test current, measured in the 1 kHz–3 kHz band. This ultra-low noise performance makes it suitable for precision analog references where signal integrity must be preserved in sensitive measurement front-ends.
