Product details
Overview
JAN1N4121D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 33 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 JAN1N4121D-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4121D-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4121D-1/TR application, or JAN1N4121D-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), noise density (≤1 μV/√Hz), junction temperature range (–65 °C to +175 °C), and military-grade qualification level.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, delivering stable 33 V regulation at 250 mA test current (IZT) and exhibiting low dynamic impedance (200 Ω at IZT). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures robust thermal performance and radiation hardness.
It features minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF at 1 MHz), low noise density (≤1 μV/√Hz below 6.8 V), and a positive temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C) optimized for precision reference stability across wide temperature extremes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise voltage clamping in regulated power rails requiring tight tolerance. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact, convection-cooled designs with linear derating to zero at 175 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation under varying load currents. |
| Noise Density (ND) | ≤1 μV/√Hz - critical for low-noise analog references and precision instrumentation circuits. |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.095 %/°C - provides predictable, monotonic voltage drift over –65 °C to +175 °C for mission-critical environments. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤10 µA at 25.1 V - guarantees minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Junction Temp. Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - validated for extended operation in space, avionics, and nuclear systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4121US-1 | Same 33 V, 1% spec, but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads. | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical retention. | Select when automated SMT production and board space constraints outweigh lead-forming flexibility. |
| JANTXV1N4121D | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package; differs only in qualification level (JANTXV vs JANS) and screening depth. | JANTXV lacks full Class S radiation testing and extended life testing required for spaceflight payloads. | Select JANTXV only for high-reliability ground-based or airborne systems where full JANS screening is not mandated. |
Compared with 1N4121US-1 and JANTXV1N4121D, the JAN1N4121D-1/TR uniquely combines JANS-level qualification, axial DO-35 form factor, and tape-and-reel packaging-making it the sole option for space-qualified through-hole voltage references requiring traceable lot-level radiation data and MIL-standard delivery format.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4121D-1/TR?
JAN1N4121D-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 33.0 V with a tolerance of ±1%, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature. This tight tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening and applies at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. The JAN1N4121D-1/TR maintains this specification across its qualified temperature range without additional calibration.
Is JAN1N4121D-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4121D-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the Microsemi datasheet T4-LDS-0245-2, RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) is available only on commercial-grade versions-not JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS levels. The JAN1N4121D-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and is intended for high-reliability applications where leaded finishes are specified.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for JAN1N4121D-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JAN1N4121D-1/TR is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 33 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 0.5 W / 33 V ≈ 15.2 mA), with margin applied per derating curves. The datasheet specifies 40 mA as the absolute maximum dc current under rated conditions, consistent with its 250 mA test current (IZT) and thermal resistance limits.
Does JAN1N4121D-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JAN1N4121D-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, which includes total ionizing dose (TID) testing up to 100 krad(Si) and single-event effects (SEE) screening. This radiation hardness is a direct result of its metallurgically bonded glass construction and is documented for the entire 1N4099–1N4135 series, including JAN1N4121D-1/TR.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JAN1N4121D-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JAN1N4121D-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. It does not affect electrical or reliability specifications. The base part JAN1N4121D-1 is identical in performance and qualification; the TR variant adds standardized carrier tape, cover tape, and reel quantity coordination per factory requirements.
