Product details
Overview
JAN1N4122-1/TR from Microsemi is a 36 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4122-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4122-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4122-1/TR application, or JAN1N4122-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability over temperature (αVZ = +0.095 %/°C), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz at 36 V), dynamic impedance (200 Ω at 250 mA), and JANS-qualified reliability options.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt regulator with cathode-banded polarity, requiring reverse bias (banded end positive) for Zener conduction. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable junction characteristics across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 250 °C/W (at 10 mm lead length) and linear derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C. Maximum Zener current IZM is 40 mA at 36 V, with leakage current IR ≤ 0.01 µA at VR = 27.4 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 36.0 V ±5% at IZT = 250 mA - defines nominal regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation PM(AV) | 0.5 W at TL = 25 °C - maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation accuracy under varying load |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz at IZT = 250 mA - critical for low-noise reference applications such as precision ADCs and analog front-ends |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.095 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift with temperature; enables compensation design in wide-temp environments |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.01 µA at VR = 27.4 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme aerospace, downhole, and military platforms |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass package with tin-lead plating; cathode indicated by single black band; weight ≈ 0.2 g; body diameter 1.42–2.29 mm, length 3.56–5.08 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded lead | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during Zener regulation |
| Cathode | Banded lead | Connected to regulated voltage node; must be held at higher potential than anode for breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgical bond construction | Ensures long-term parameter stability and reduced parameter shift under thermal cycling and radiation exposure |
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification (JAN level) | Validated reliability for mission-critical systems including avionics, satellite power, and tactical radios |
| Low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) | Enables use as reference source in high-resolution data acquisition without external filtering |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter degradation in humid or corrosive environments |
| ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in handling and board assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4122US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Required for automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole or manual prototyping | Select when PCB layout mandates SMT and thermal pad access is available |
| JANTXV1N4122-1 | Identical Zener parameters but qualified to JANTXV level (enhanced screening, tighter lot controls) | Needed for flight-critical subsystems where burn-in and lot traceability are mandated | Select when program requirements exceed JAN-level reliability documentation |
Compared with JAN1N4122-1/TR, 1N4122US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a space-constrained SMT form factor, while JANTXV1N4122-1 adds extended screening for mission assurance-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages or qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4122-1/TR?
JAN1N4122-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 36.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered electrical characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This tolerance applies at IZT = 250 mA and 25 °C ambient.
Is JAN1N4122-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No - JAN1N4122-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS suffix is only available on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4122-1e3); JAN-level parts like JAN1N4122-1/TR retain traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and are exempt from RoHS restrictions under defense procurement rules.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JAN1N4122-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JAN1N4122-1/TR is supplied in reels containing standard quantities specified by Microsemi; the underlying electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical to the bulk version.
Can JAN1N4122-1/TR be used in surface-mount designs?
No - JAN1N4122-1/TR uses the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) package and is not compatible with SMT processes. For surface-mount equivalents, consider 1N4122US-1 (DO-213AA) or 1PMT4122 (DO-216), which share identical Zener parameters but differ in package and qualification level.
What is the maximum junction temperature for JAN1N4122-1/TR?
JAN1N4122-1/TR has a rated junction and storage temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C, as confirmed in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet. This rating is maintained under full MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification and applies to all JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, and JANS variants.
