Product details
Overview
JAN1N4125C-1 from Microsemi is a 47 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, 250 mA test current, and 250 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 25 °C - used for precision voltage regulation in radiation-hardened military power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4125C-1 datasheet, JAN1N4125C-1 pinout, JAN1N4125C-1 application, or JAN1N4125C-1 equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C), junction temperature range (–65 to +175 °C), and MIL-qualified reliability level.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting 250 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 1 µV/√Hz noise density. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable regulation across wide current (up to 35.8 mA IZM) and temperature (–65 to +175 °C) ranges.
Designed for high-reliability environments, JAN1N4125C-1 meets JANS-level qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/435, features hermetic glass DO-35 packaging, and delivers inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - with no ESD sensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4125US-1 | Same 47 V Zener, DO-213AA surface-mount package; identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (RθJL = 200 °C/W vs. 250 °C/W). | Used where board space constraints prohibit axial-leaded components; requires reflow-compatible layout. | Select when automated assembly and reduced profile are required; verify thermal relief pad design for 500 mW dissipation. |
| JANTXV1N4125C | Same 47 V ±2%, same DO-35 package, but JANTXV qualification (not JANS); lower screening rigor and radiation assurance level. | Suitable for non-spaceflight military platforms where full JANS testing is not mandated. | Choose for cost-sensitive defense electronics where full JANS radiation hardness is unnecessary. |
Compared with JAN1N4125C-1, 1N4125US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a compact SMT form factor but demands revised thermal layout, while JANTXV1N4125C reduces qualification cost and lead time at the expense of radiation tolerance and extended environmental screening.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4125C-1?
JAN1N4125C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a ±2% tolerance, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, ensuring tight regulation for precision feedback applications in hardened power systems.
Is JAN1N4125C-1 suitable for radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, JAN1N4125C-1 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and hermetic DO-35 package provide proven resilience against total ionizing dose (TID), making it appropriate for satellite, nuclear, and high-altitude avionics applications.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for JAN1N4125C-1?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JAN1N4125C-1 is 35.8 mA at 25 °C, calculated from its 500 mW power rating and 47 V Zener voltage. This value decreases linearly with rising junction temperature, reaching zero at +175 °C, as defined in the power derating curve of the official datasheet.
Does JAN1N4125C-1 have RoHS compliance?
No - JAN1N4125C-1 is a JANS-qualified military part and uses tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750; RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) is only available on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4125C-1e3), not on JAN- or JANS-level variants due to reliability and solderability requirements for high-reliability assembly.
What is the noise density specification for JAN1N4125C-1?
JAN1N4125C-1 has a maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz, measured at 1 kHz to 3 kHz bandwidth with 250 mA Zener test current and 25 °C ambient. This ultra-low noise performance supports use in precision analog references where spectral purity directly impacts measurement fidelity.
