Product details
Overview
JAN1N4126D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 51 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4126D-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4126D-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4126D-1/TR application, or JAN1N4126D-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, noise density, and military qualification details critical for precision reference and radiation-hardened designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 51.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 300 Ω at IZT. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable regulation across wide current and temperature ranges.
Designed for high-reliability environments, it features hermetic glass sealing, non-ESD-sensitive operation per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and inherent radiation hardness documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050 - all validated under JANS-level qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/435.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4126US-1 | Same 51 V, 1% spec but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or wire-wrap | Select when automated assembly and board space constraints outweigh manual serviceability needs |
| JANTXV1N4126D-1 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package; differs only in JANTXV qualification level (less stringent screening than JANS) | Approved for high-reliability ground systems but not flight-qualified; lower cost and shorter lead time | Select for non-flight-critical defense programs where full JANS screening is unnecessary |
Compared with JAN1N4126D-1/TR, the 1N4126US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a space-saving SMT form factor, while JANTXV1N4126D-1 delivers matching electrical behavior with reduced qualification rigor - enabling trade-offs between cost, lead time, and mission assurance level.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4126D-1/TR?
The JAN1N4126D-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on Page 3 of Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2, where VZ = 51.0 V at IZT = 250 mA with 1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance reduces calibration drift in precision reference circuits compared to standard 5% variants like JAN1N4126-1.
Is JAN1N4126D-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4126D-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide on Page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2, the "e3" suffix indicates RoHS compliance, which is absent in JAN1N4126D-1/TR. The part uses tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and is intended for high-reliability military applications where leaded finishes are required for solder joint integrity.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JAN1N4126D-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JAN1N4126D-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. As stated on Page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2, this option is available for all parts in the series, and the factory must be consulted for minimum order quantities. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical to the bulk version.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4126D-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4126D-1/TR is 40 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on Page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This value corresponds to the 500 mW power rating derated at higher ambient temperatures and ensures safe continuous operation without exceeding thermal limits in DO-35 package configurations.
How is polarity marked on JAN1N4126D-1/TR?
Polarity on JAN1N4126D-1/TR is marked by a cathode band on the glass body; the banded end is the cathode and must be held positive relative to the anode for proper Zener regulation. This marking convention is explicitly defined in the Mechanical and Packaging section on Page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 and aligns with JEDEC DO-35 standards.
