Product details
Overview
JAN1N4122-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 36 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±5% voltage tolerance, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and 0.01 µA maximum reverse leakage at 27.4 V. It regulates voltage in precision reference and power supply feedback circuits across military-grade temperature ranges.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4122-1 datasheet, JAN1N4122-1 pinout, JAN1N4122-1 application, or JAN1N4122-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability over -65°C to +175°C, low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V), hermetic glass packaging, and MIL-qualified reliability for aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The JAN1N4122-1 delivers 11.0 mA maximum Zener current (IZM) at rated power, with dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 200 Ω measured at 10% AC modulation of IZT. Reverse leakage (IR) is limited to 0.01 µA at VR = 27.4 V, supporting low-power biasing in high-impedance sensing nodes.
Key Specifications

| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - ensures functionality in extreme environmental conditions |
| Noise Density (ND) | ≤1 µV/√Hz - critical for low-noise analog references and sensor excitation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4122US | Same 36 V Zener voltage, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no MIL qualification | Lacks JAN-level screening and radiation hardness; suitable only for commercial avionics subsystems | Select when board space constraints require SMT and MIL-spec is not mandated |
| JANTXV1N4122 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified to JANTXV level with enhanced screening and lot traceability | Required for flight-critical systems where extended burn-in and parametric stability are mandatory | Select when higher reliability assurance and longer qualification life are required beyond JAN level |
Compared with JAN1N4122-1, 1N4122US offers footprint reduction but sacrifices military qualification and radiation tolerance, while JANTXV1N4122 provides superior process control and longevity at higher cost-enabling tiered sourcing for non-critical vs. flight-critical subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4122-1?
JAN1N4122-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25°C with 250 mA test current.
Is JAN1N4122-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4122-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, which is available only on commercial-grade versions-not JAN-level devices. JAN1N4122-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for JAN1N4122-1?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JAN1N4122-1 is 11.0 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value corresponds to the current at which the device dissipates its rated 500 mW at 36 V, assuming ideal thermal conditions.
Does JAN1N4122-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JAN1N4122-1 is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050, referenced in the Applications/Benefits section on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction contributes to total ionizing dose (TID) resilience without requiring additional qualification testing.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JAN1N4122-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JAN1N4122-1 is 250 °C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value supports thermal modeling for lead-mounted PCB layouts.
