Product details
Overview
JAN1N4127-1/TR from Microsemi is a 56 V, 500 mW axial-leaded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JAN reliability level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and 0.01 µA maximum reverse leakage at 42.6 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference in military-grade power supply regulation and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4127-1/TR datasheet, JAN1N4127-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4127-1/TR application, or JAN1N4127-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 56 V nominal Zener voltage, 250 mA Zener test current, 300 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, -65 to +175 °C operating temperature range, and hermetically sealed DO-35 mechanical construction for high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 56 V regulation across wide current (250 mA test point) and temperature (-65 to +175 °C) ranges. Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages) and radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
The JAN1N4127-1/TR exhibits +0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient of Zener voltage and 300 °C/W thermal resistance when mounted on FR4 with 4 mm² copper pads. Its 0.5 W power rating linearly derates from 25 °C ambient to zero at 175 °C, supporting operation in thermally constrained aerospace and defense systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4127US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or wire-wrap | Select when automated pick-and-place and board space constraints outweigh manual assembly needs |
| JANTXV1N4127-1 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical parameters, but qualified to JANTXV level (enhanced screening) | Required for Class H/V space programs where burn-in and lot acceptance testing are mandated | Choose only when program specifications explicitly require JANTXV-level reliability documentation |
Compared with 1N4127US-1 and JANTXV1N4127-1, the JAN1N4127-1/TR offers the optimal balance of proven military reliability, axial-leaded serviceability, and tape-and-reel logistics for medium-volume defense production-without over-specifying for non-critical subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4127-1/TR?
The JAN1N4127-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a standard ±5% tolerance, consistent with JEDEC registration for the 1N4099–1N4135 family. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with the diode in thermal equilibrium and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test requirements. The JAN1N4127-1/TR does not offer tighter tolerances like 2% or 1%-those are designated by suffixes 'C' or 'D' in other variants.
Is JAN1N4127-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, the JAN1N4127-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the manufacturer's nomenclature guide, RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) is available only on commercial-grade versions of this series-not on JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS reliability levels. The JAN1N4127-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750, method 2026, and is intended for applications where leaded finishes are required for solderability and reliability.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4127-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4127-1/TR is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 56 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 0.5 W / 56 V ≈ 8.9 mA), but the datasheet specifies 40 mA as the absolute maximum dc current rating under defined thermal conditions. This value appears in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects safe continuous operation when derated per the published power curve. The JAN1N4127-1/TR must be operated within this limit to avoid junction overheating.
Does JAN1N4127-1/TR have a specified noise density?
Yes, the JAN1N4127-1/TR has a specified noise density of 1 µV/√Hz, consistent with the family's behavior at lower Zener voltages (<6.8 V). This value is measured using a 1 kHz–3 kHz bandpass filter at 25 °C ambient and 250 mA test current. The low noise density makes the JAN1N4127-1/TR suitable for precision analog references where spectral purity affects measurement accuracy.
What is the meaning of the "TR" suffix in JAN1N4127-1/TR?
"TR" stands for Tape & Reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, indicating that the JAN1N4127-1/TR is supplied in industry-standard carrier tape and plastic reel format for automated SMT placement equipment-even though the DO-35 package itself is axial-leaded and typically used in through-hole assembly. This configuration supports mixed-technology board assembly lines and ensures consistent feeding into pick-and-place machines. The JAN1N4127-1/TR retains all electrical and reliability characteristics of the bulk version.
