Product details
Overview
JAN1N4125-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 47 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±5% voltage tolerance, 250 mA Zener test current, and 250 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4125-1 datasheet, JAN1N4125-1 pinout, JAN1N4125-1 application, or JAN1N4125-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability over temperature (αVZ = +0.095 %/°C), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), hermetic DO-35 packaging, and JANS-level radiation hardness for high-reliability embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C) and 250 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) under standard test conditions. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across thermal cycling.
Rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at 25 °C, it linearly derates to zero at 175 °C junction temperature and supports operation from –65 °C to +175 °C. Reverse leakage is limited to ≤0.01 µA at VR = 35.8 V, and forward voltage is 1.1 V at 200 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 47 V at 250 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops in regulated DC supplies. |
| Power Dissipation PM(AV) | 500 mW at 25 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 250 Ω max at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Temperature Coefficient αVZ | +0.095 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree, critical for wide-temperature-range designs. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz - enables low-noise reference use in precision analog signal chains. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.01 µA at 35.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power modes. |
| Junction Temp Range TJ | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including space and military avionics. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package; cathode indicated by band; banded end is anode when used in forward bias, but functions as cathode (positive terminal) during Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Zener cathode connection | Connected to higher potential node during regulation; polarity marking defines functional orientation. |
| Cathode (unbanded end) | Zener anode connection | Connected to lower potential node; reverse-bias configuration establishes breakdown conduction path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgical bond construction | Ensures long-term parameter stability and resistance to thermal fatigue in cyclic environments. |
| JANS qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/435 | Validates performance for space-grade applications including radiation tolerance and burn-in screening. |
| Low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) | Supports use in high-fidelity reference circuits where voltage noise directly impacts ADC/DAC accuracy. |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter shift over decades of field operation in harsh atmospheres. |
| Non-ESD-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 | Eliminates need for ESD handling protocols during assembly, reducing manufacturing risk. |
Applications
| Avionics Power Regulation | Satellite Bus Voltage Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating 48 V bus-derived auxiliary rails in flight control computers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode providing stable 47 V reference for error amplifiers in isolated DC-DC converters. Use Value: Maintains ±0.5% output voltage accuracy across –55 °C to +125 °C ambient due to tight αVZ and hermetic reliability. | Use Scenario: Biasing photodiode amplifier stages in star tracker optical sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise voltage reference establishing DC operating point for transimpedance amplifiers. Use Value: 1 µV/√Hz noise density prevents signal-to-noise degradation in sub-picoamp photocurrent measurements. |
| Ground-Based Radar Bias Supply | Nuclear Instrumentation Channel Reference |
Use Scenario: Generating stable bias for GaN RF power amplifier gate drivers in phased-array radar transceivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision Zener regulating gate voltage in high-voltage switching stages. Use Value: JANS qualification ensures immunity to neutron-induced parametric shifts during extended field deployment. | Use Scenario: Providing reference voltage for pulse-height analyzers in radiation detection systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-hardened voltage standard for analog front-end calibration. Use Value: Inherent radiation hardness (per MicroNote 050) eliminates need for shielding or derating in high-dose environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4125US | Same 47 V rating and DO-35 package, but commercial-grade (non-mil-qualified); no JANS screening or radiation data. | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification; unsuitable for space or nuclear environments. | Select only for cost-sensitive terrestrial industrial use where radiation hardness and extended temp range are not required. |
| JANTXV1N4125 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package; qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS). | Meets high-reliability requirements but not full space-grade radiation testing or burn-in. | Choose when JANS-level assurance is unnecessary but enhanced reliability over commercial grade is needed. |
Compared with JAN1N4125-1, 1N4125US offers identical regulation performance without military screening, while JANTXV1N4125 provides intermediate reliability assurance - both lack the full radiation hardness and lifetime validation inherent to the JANS-qualified JAN1N4125-1.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4125-1?
JAN1N4125-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a standard ±5% tolerance, consistent with JEDEC registration for the 1N4099–1N4135 series. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with the diode in thermal equilibrium and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test procedures. The JAN1N4125-1 datasheet specifies no tighter tolerance option for this specific reliability level.
Is JAN1N4125-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4125-1 is not RoHS compliant. RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants per the datasheet; JAN-level parts retain tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and are exempt from RoHS under defense procurement exceptions.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4125-1?
JAN1N4125-1 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at VR = 35.8 V, measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference applications and minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems using the JAN1N4125-1.
Does JAN1N4125-1 require heatsinking in typical applications?
No, JAN1N4125-1 does not require external heatsinking when operated within its 500 mW derated power envelope. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 250 °C/W with 10 mm lead length, and junction-to-ambient is 300 °C/W on FR4 board - sufficient for most low-duty-cycle or moderate-current regulation tasks using the JAN1N4125-1.
How is polarity marked on JAN1N4125-1?
JAN1N4125-1 uses a single black band to indicate the cathode terminal. During Zener regulation, the banded end must be connected to the more positive potential - i.e., the band marks the cathode, not the anode. This marking convention is consistent across all DO-35-packaged devices in the JAN1N4125-1 family.
