Product details
Overview
JAN1N4127-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 56 V, ±5% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JAN level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4127-1 datasheet, JAN1N4127-1 pinout, JAN1N4127-1 application, or JAN1N4127-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 56 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, 300 Ω maximum dynamic impedance, 0.01 µA maximum reverse leakage at 42.6 V, radiation-hardened construction, and hermetic DO-35 axial-leaded packaging suitable for harsh-environment analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at IZT = 250 mA and characterized across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable long-term voltage regulation under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
The JAN1N4127-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and delivers low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz typical below 6.8 V), making it suitable for low-drift reference designs where stability over temperature and minimal broadband noise are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4127US | Same 56 V Zener voltage and DO-35 package but commercial-grade (non-mil-qualified); RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Lacks JAN screening, radiation hardness, and extended temperature validation; not approved for flight hardware | Select for cost-sensitive ground-test equipment or non-mission-critical prototypes where MIL-spec is unnecessary |
| JANTXV1N4127 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified to JANTXV level with enhanced screening and tighter lot traceability | Approved for higher-reliability programs requiring burn-in, thermal cycling, and lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-19500 | Select when program requirements mandate JANTXV-level reliability documentation and extended life testing coverage |
Compared with JAN1N4127-1, 1N4127US offers lower cost and RoHS compliance but omits military screening and radiation assurance, while JANTXV1N4127 adds rigorous process controls and traceability for safety-critical deployments-neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacement without requalification.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4127-1?
JAN1N4127-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by JEDEC registration and verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test requirements. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with thermal equilibrium and 250 mA test current, and remains stable across the full -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range due to its metallurgical bond construction.
Is JAN1N4127-1 radiation hardened?
Yes, JAN1N4127-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with documented performance stability under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure. Its hermetic DO-35 glass package and metallurgical bond structure prevent parametric degradation up to 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for satellite and high-altitude avionics where radiation-induced voltage drift must be minimized.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4127-1?
JAN1N4127-1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at VR = 42.6 V (75% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in high-impedance reference divider networks and preserves accuracy in battery-powered or low-power analog subsystems.
Can JAN1N4127-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, JAN1N4127-1 is packaged exclusively in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) through-hole format. Surface-mount alternatives such as 1N4127UR-1 (DO-213AA) or 1PMT4127 (DO-216) exist in the same voltage family but require separate qualification and are not functionally or mechanically interchangeable with JAN1N4127-1 without PCB redesign.
What is the thermal resistance specification for JAN1N4127-1?
JAN1N4127-1 has a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (RθJL) when mounted with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) on FR4 board with 4 mm² copper pads. These values define the thermal path for safe 500 mW operation and inform heatsinking requirements in high-power regulation circuits.
