Product details
Overview
JAN1N4120D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 30 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW 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 military and aerospace power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4120D-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4120D-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4120D-1/TR application, or JAN1N4120D-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), dynamic impedance (200 Ω @ 250 mA), noise density (13 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C), and JANS-qualified thermal robustness up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt 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 (typical 13 pF). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable regulation across wide current and temperature ranges.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it supports reverse leakage current ≤0.01 µA at 22.8 V (VR), maintains ±1% voltage tolerance, and delivers predictable temperature coefficient behavior (+0.095 %/°C), enabling accurate voltage reference design without external compensation.

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 30 V, 1% Zener voltage but in DO-213AA surface-mount package | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; lacks axial lead flexibility for prototyping or through-hole repair | Select when automated assembly and board space constraints outweigh manual serviceability needs |
| JANTXV1N4120D-1 | Identical electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level with enhanced screening and tighter lot traceability | Required for programs mandating JANTXV-level documentation and extended burn-in testing | Select when program requirements exceed JAN-level screening, especially for flight-critical subsystems |
Compared with JAN1N4120D-1/TR, the 1N4120US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a space-saving SMT form factor, while JANTXV1N4120D-1 adds higher screening rigor-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages or qualification scope, making them application-specific alternatives rather than drop-in replacements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4120D-1/TR?
JAN1N4120D-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature. This tight tolerance ensures the actual regulation voltage remains within 29.7 V to 30.3 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C, supporting high-accuracy reference applications in military-grade power supplies where standard ±5% parts would introduce unacceptable error margins.
Is JAN1N4120D-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4120D-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4120D-1e3); JAN-level parts like JAN1N4120D-1/TR retain traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and avoid reliability risks associated with pure matte-tin finishes in high-reliability thermal cycling environments.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in JAN1N4120D-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JAN1N4120D-1/TR contains the same die, qualification, and electrical specs as JAN1N4120D-1, but is supplied on carrier tape instead of bulk or ammo-pack formats-critical for high-volume production of defense electronics requiring consistent feed reliability and traceability.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4120D-1/TR?
JAN1N4120D-1/TR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at VR = 22.8 V and 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports low-power standby modes in battery-operated avionics subsystems and ensures minimal loading on upstream regulators, preserving overall system efficiency without compromising regulation accuracy.
How is polarity marked on JAN1N4120D-1/TR?
Polarity is marked by a single black cathode band near one end of the DO-35 glass body. During Zener operation, the banded (cathode) end must be held positive relative to the unmarked (anode) end. Incorrect polarity will forward-bias the diode, resulting in ~1.1 V drop instead of 30 V regulation-and may cause irreversible damage if sustained at high current.
