Product details
Overview
JAN1N4127D-1 from Microsemi is a 56 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 JAN1N4127D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4127D-1 pinout, JAN1N4127D-1 application, or JAN1N4127D-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 1% Zener voltage tolerance, 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, 0.01 µA reverse leakage at 42.6 V, radiation-hardened construction, and hermetically sealed axial-leaded package for stable operation across -65 °C to +175 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and low noise density of 1 µV/√Hz - optimized for low-drift reference circuits in harsh environments.
Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure, while the DO-35 glass package provides hermetic sealing and minimal parasitic capacitance (<2 pF typical at 56 V), supporting clean regulation in analog sensing and power monitoring 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 surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads. | Required for automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical retention. | Select when board space is constrained and reflow compatibility is mandatory. |
| JANTXV1N4127D | Identical Zener parameters and 1% tolerance; differs only in qualification level (JANTXV vs JANS) and screening rigor. | Approved for Class V (JANTXV) but not Class S (JANS) programs; lower radiation hardness margin and fewer environmental tests. | Select for cost-sensitive defense subsystems where full JANS is not mandated. |
Compared with JAN1N4127D-1, the 1N4127US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices mechanical robustness and hand-solderability, while JANTXV1N4127D reduces procurement cost and lead time at the expense of radiation hardness validation and extended temperature screening.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4127D-1?
JAN1N4127D-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This 56 V regulation point is guaranteed within ±0.56 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C, enabling high-accuracy reference design without post-manufacturing calibration.
Is JAN1N4127D-1 qualified for space applications?
Yes, JAN1N4127D-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, including radiation hardness characterization documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded structure and hermetic DO-35 package meet requirements for low-Earth orbit and deep-space missions where single-event effects and total ionizing dose must be mitigated.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4127D-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JAN1N4127D-1 is 0.01 µA at VR = 42.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This ultra-low leakage supports use in high-impedance feedback networks and battery-powered systems where standby current must be minimized.
Does JAN1N4127D-1 have RoHS compliance?
No, JAN1N4127D-1 is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS suffix is only available on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4127D-1e3); the JAN prefix indicates military-specification qualification with tin-lead plating required for solderability and reliability in high-reliability applications per MIL-STD-750.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for JAN1N4127D-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for JAN1N4127D-1 is 300 °C/W when mounted on an FR4 PCB with 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm track width, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table. Derating begins linearly at 50 °C ambient, reducing power dissipation to zero at 175 °C.
