Product details
Overview
JAN1N4123D-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 39.0 V, 1% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4123D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4123D-1 pinout, JAN1N4123D-1 application, or JAN1N4123D-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 1% Zener voltage tolerance, 250 mA test current, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range, and radiation-hardened hermetic construction.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 39.0 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The JAN1N4123D-1 is rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C, with junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length. It maintains ≤0.01 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 31.2 V and exhibits 200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise reference generation for analog monitoring and feedback loops requiring tight voltage stability. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact, conduction-cooled military PCB layouts without forced air. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 200 Ω at IZT - ensures low output impedance for effective ripple suppression in DC-DC converter error amplifiers. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.01 µA at VR = 31.2 V - minimizes standby current draw in battery-backed systems and high-impedance bias networks. |
| Temperature Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - certified for operation in extreme environments including missile guidance electronics and satellite power subsystems. |
| Noise Density (ND) | 1 µV/√Hz - provides ultra-low noise reference capability for precision instrumentation front-ends and ADC reference buffers. |
| Qualification Level | JANS per MIL-PRF-19500/435 - guarantees full screening, lot traceability, and radiation hardness for space-grade applications. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package with cathode indicated by band; operated with banded end positive for Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink during forward bias; common return path in shunt regulator topology | Connected to system ground or lowest potential node; must handle full load current plus Zener current in fault conditions. |
| Cathode | Regulated output node; Zener breakdown occurs between cathode and anode | Banded end connects to regulated rail; requires stable thermal path via 10 mm lead length to meet RθJL = 250 °C/W spec. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4123US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires rework of PCB layout for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical retention | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is available; verify thermal pad design for 250 °C/W RθJL equivalence. |
| JANTXV1N4123D | Identical Zener parameters and 1% tolerance, but qualified only to JANTXV level (not JANS); lower screening rigor and no radiation hardness validation | Approved for airborne avionics but not spaceflight or nuclear-hardened systems | Choose for cost-sensitive defense programs where full JANS testing is not mandated by system specification. |
Compared with JAN1N4123D-1, the 1N4123US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a space-saving SMT form factor but sacrifices mechanical robustness and thermal path control, while JANTXV1N4123D reduces procurement cost and lead time at the expense of radiation tolerance and extended environmental screening.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4123D-1?
JAN1N4123D-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature. This means its nominal 39.0 V Zener voltage is guaranteed to fall between 38.61 V and 39.39 V when measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, supporting high-accuracy regulation without post-manufacturing trimming.
Is JAN1N4123D-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, JAN1N4123D-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, including full radiation hardness assurance per Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded structure, hermetic DO-35 package, and screening for total ionizing dose >100 krad(Si) make it appropriate for LEO and GEO satellite power subsystems where long-term parameter stability is critical.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4123D-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JAN1N4123D-1 is 0.01 µA at VR = 31.2 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered systems where standby current must be minimized.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JAN1N4123D-1 performance?
JAN1N4123D-1 has a temperature coefficient (αVZ) of +0.095 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 37.05 mV per degree Celsius rise above 25 °C. This predictable positive drift allows designers to compensate in feedback networks or select complementary components to achieve net-zero TC in precision references.
Can JAN1N4123D-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - JAN1N4123D-1 uses the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, consider the 1N4123US-1 in DO-213AA package, which shares identical electrical specifications but requires PCB redesign to accommodate its surface-mount footprint and thermal pad requirements.
