Product details
Overview
JAN1N4123C-1 from Microsemi is a 39 V, 2% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 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 JAN1N4123C-1 datasheet, JAN1N4123C-1 pinout, JAN1N4123C-1 application, or JAN1N4123C-1 equivalent, this page provides verified Zener voltage, dynamic impedance, temperature coefficient, noise density, and military qualification details essential for precision reference and overvoltage protection design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a nominal 39 V regulation at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting 200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient - enabling stable reference generation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages), minimal capacitance, and radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050, supporting use in low-noise analog references and hardened power conditioning circuits.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - defines thermal design margin |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Temperature Coefficient αVZ | +0.095 %/°C - quantifies drift magnitude for temperature-compensated designs |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz (typical at lower voltages) - critical for low-noise reference applications |
| Max Reverse Current IR | 10 µA at VR = 29.7 V - specifies leakage limit near regulation threshold |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environmental conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4123C-1 | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JAN); tighter parametric limits; extended burn-in | Required for mission-critical avionics where failure risk must be minimized beyond JAN requirements | Select when program mandates JANTXV-level reliability documentation and test reports |
| 1N4123C-1 (commercial) | No MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; RoHS-compliant plating only; no radiation data | Suitable for ground-test equipment or non-flight prototypes where cost and lead time dominate | Select for lab validation or non-mission hardware where military screening is unnecessary |
Compared with JAN1N4123C-1, JANTXV1N4123C-1 adds enhanced screening for higher assurance, while 1N4123C-1 trades qualification for lower cost and faster availability - enabling tiered sourcing across development, qualification, and production phases.
