Product details
Overview
JAN1N4123-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 39.0 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JAN level for high-reliability applications. It delivers stable voltage regulation at 250 mA test current with 200 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 31.2 V, and +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4123-1 datasheet, JAN1N4123-1 pinout, JAN1N4123-1 application, or JAN1N4123-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-qualified reliability grade, low-noise performance (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V), hermetic glass package, and thermal derating behavior from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Technical Context
The JAN1N4123-1 operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C above 30 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits. Noise density is minimized (<1 µV/√Hz) due to low-voltage Zener mechanism dominance, and capacitance remains low (typical <2 pF) per Figure 3.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4123-1 | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs. JAN); tighter parametric testing, enhanced burn-in, and extended life testing | Required for Class H or Class K military programs demanding higher confidence in early-life failure rate | Select when program specification mandates JANTXV qualification or when operating margin is insufficient for JAN-grade screening |
| 1N4123US | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Used where PCB real estate is constrained and automated SMT assembly is required | Select for space-constrained commercial or industrial designs requiring automated placement and reflow compatibility |
Compared with JAN1N4123-1, JANTXV1N4123-1 offers superior screening rigor for mission-critical deployments, while 1N4123US provides identical regulation performance in a compact SMT form factor-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages, and both require layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4123-1?
JAN1N4123-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 39.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by JEDEC registration 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 JAN1N4123-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4123-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide on page 2, the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, which is only available on commercial-grade versions-not JAN-level devices. JAN1N4123-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4123-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4123-1 is 0.01 µA at 31.2 V (80% of VZ), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value is measured at 25 °C and reflects the device's tight leakage control for high-impedance reference applications.
Can JAN1N4123-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, JAN1N4123-1 is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) through-hole format. For surface-mount use, Microsemi offers the functionally equivalent 1N4123US in DO-213AA package-but JAN1N4123-1 itself requires through-hole mounting and cannot be substituted without PCB redesign.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JAN1N4123-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JAN1N4123-1 is 250 °C/W when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1. This value assumes standard lead configuration and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load.
