Product details
Overview
JAN1N4126-1/TR from Microsemi is a 51 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±5% voltage tolerance, 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and max 40 µV/√Hz noise density above 6.8 V. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges in high-reliability power supply reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4126-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4126-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4126-1/TR application, or JAN1N4126-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), noise performance, radiation hardness, and military-grade qualification status for aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with regulation established at IZT = 250 mA. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable long-term voltage drift and low noise-critical for analog sensing and calibration subsystems.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C, enabling predictable voltage shift over -65 °C to +175 °C operating range. The DO-35 hermetic glass package provides ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 51.0 V ±5% at 250 mA - sets precise reference point for feedback loops in regulated DC-DC converters. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports stable operation in compact, convection-cooled designs without forced airflow. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 300 Ω at 250 mA - limits output voltage variation under load transients in precision reference applications. |
| Noise Density | ≤40 µV/√Hz - enables use in low-noise analog front-ends where reference stability affects ADC accuracy. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - qualifies for extended-temperature environments including avionics and downhole electronics. |
| Thermal Resistance RθJL | 250 °C/W (3/8″ lead length) - allows accurate thermal modeling when mounted on PCB with standard lead geometry. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.01 µA at 38.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-backed reference circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4126US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads. | Used where board space is constrained and reflow assembly required; not suitable for through-hole prototyping or manual repair. | Select when transitioning from through-hole to SMT production; requires PCB redesign and requalification. |
| JANTXV1N4126-1 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical parameters, but qualified to JANTXV level (enhanced screening vs. JAN). | Required for mission-critical subsystems demanding lower defect probability and extended lot traceability. | Choose for flight hardware or safety-critical control modules where failure modes require stricter process controls. |
Compared with JAN1N4126-1/TR, the 1N4126US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices serviceability, while JANTXV1N4126-1 adds screening rigor without altering electrical behavior-making it preferable for higher-assurance deployments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4126-1/TR?
JAN1N4126-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with IZT = 250 mA and reflects the standard JAN-level specification for the 1N4126-1 variant.
Is JAN1N4126-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4126-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide on page 2 of the datasheet, the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance-and JAN1N4126-1/TR lacks that suffix. RoHS versions are only available for commercial-grade parts, not JAN-qualified devices.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4126-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4126-1/TR is 40 mA, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value corresponds to the current at which the device delivers its rated 500 mW power dissipation at VZ = 51.0 V, assuming ideal thermal conditions.
Does JAN1N4126-1/TR have a defined temperature coefficient?
Yes, JAN1N4126-1/TR has a temperature coefficient αVZ of +0.100 %/°C, as shown in the Electrical Characteristics table. This positive coefficient means its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising junction temperature, enabling compensation in precision reference designs.
Can JAN1N4126-1/TR be used in surface-mount assemblies?
No, JAN1N4126-1/TR uses the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) package and is not compatible with standard SMT reflow processes. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the 1N4126US-1 in DO-213AA package-but note it is not JAN-qualified and requires separate qualification.
