Product details
Overview
JAN1N4122D-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 36 V, 1% tolerance Zener diode in DO-35 glass 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 JAN1N4122D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4122D-1 pinout, JAN1N4122D-1 application, or JAN1N4122D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), dynamic impedance (200 Ω at 250 mA), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C), and hermetic DO-35 packaging for radiation-hardened environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with metallurgically bonded construction ensuring stable breakdown characteristics across -65 °C to +175 °C. Its low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) and tight 1% Zener voltage tolerance make it suitable for reference circuits requiring minimal drift under thermal and current variation.
The JAN1N4122D-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and maintains regulated output at test current IZT = 250 mA, with maximum Zener impedance ZZT = 200 Ω and reverse leakage IR ≤ 0.01 µA at VR = 27.4 V - confirming stable regulation well below nominal voltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4122D-1 | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level (not JANS); lower screening rigor and no Class S radiation testing. | Suitable for ground-based radar systems where full space qualification is unnecessary. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs requirement for full JANS-level radiation assurance. |
| 1N4122UR-1 | Same 36 V/1% spec in DO-213AA surface-mount package; lacks JANS qualification and has higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 400 °C/W). | Used in high-density commercial avionics where board space is constrained but radiation hardness is not required. | Choose only for non-mission-critical SMT designs needing identical regulation performance without hermetic axial leads. |
Compared with JAN1N4122D-1, JANTXV1N4122D-1 offers identical regulation performance at lower cost but reduced radiation assurance, while 1N4122UR-1 enables SMT assembly at the expense of thermal performance and reliability screening - making JAN1N4122D-1 the sole choice for Class S space applications demanding hermeticity, low noise, and proven TID hardness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4122D-1?
JAN1N4122D-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature. This tight tolerance is achieved through post-process binning and is specified at IZT = 250 mA and 25 °C ambient. The 36.0 V nominal Zener voltage remains within 35.64 V to 36.36 V across its qualified operating temperature range, enabling high-accuracy reference design without external trimming.
Is JAN1N4122D-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, JAN1N4122D-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 and is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050. It is approved for Class S (space) applications with full lot traceability, burn-in, and radiation testing. Its hermetic DO-35 package and metallurgical bond construction ensure reliability under thermal cycling and total ionizing dose exposure typical in low-earth orbit missions.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4122D-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JAN1N4122D-1 is 0.01 µA at VR = 27.4 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference nodes and supports reliable operation in battery-backed monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
Does JAN1N4122D-1 have a specified noise density?
Yes, JAN1N4122D-1 has a maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz, measured at IZT = 250 mA using a 1 kHz–3 kHz bandpass filter. This value is consistent with the "6.8 V and up" group in the FEATURES section, where noise falls rapidly to 1 µV/√Hz at lower voltages - confirming suitability for low-noise analog references in precision instrumentation.
What package type does JAN1N4122D-1 use?
JAN1N4122D-1 uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package. Dimensions comply with JEDEC standards: body diameter 1.42–2.29 mm, body length 3.56–5.08 mm, and lead length 25.4–38.1 mm. The cathode is marked by a visible band, and terminals are tin-lead plated for solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
