Product details
Overview
JAN1N4128-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 60 V, ±5% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JAN level for high-reliability applications. It delivers stable voltage regulation at 250 mA test current with 400 Ω dynamic impedance, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4128-1 datasheet, JAN1N4128-1 pinout, JAN1N4128-1 application, or JAN1N4128-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), radiation hardness, MIL-qualified reliability level, and low-noise performance in precision reference and aerospace power conditioning circuits.
Technical Context
The JAN1N4128-1 operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 60.0 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical stability under thermal cycling and shock.
It maintains regulation over wide current ranges (up to 45.6 mA maximum Zener current IZM) and features minimal capacitance (<1 pF typical per Figure 3), enabling use in high-frequency biasing and low-jitter reference paths where parasitic reactance must be minimized.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4128US | Same 60 V Zener voltage and DO-35 package but commercial-grade (non-MIL); RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Lacks JAN qualification, radiation hardness, and extended temperature screening - limited to benign industrial environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements and full MIL compliance is not mandated |
| JANTXV1N4128 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package; qualified to higher JANTXV level with additional burn-in and parametric testing | Supports longer mission-critical lifetimes and tighter lot traceability than JAN grade; higher screening cost | Select for flight hardware or systems requiring enhanced process controls beyond baseline JAN requirements |
Compared with JAN1N4128-1, 1N4128US offers lower cost and RoHS compliance but no MIL qualification or radiation assurance, while JANTXV1N4128 provides superior screening confidence at higher procurement cost - choice depends on program reliability tier and environmental severity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4128-1?
JAN1N4128-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 60.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by JEDEC registration and verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test requirements. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium conditions at 25 °C ambient temperature with 250 mA test current.
Is JAN1N4128-1 suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, JAN1N4128-1 is rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C and is fully characterized across this range. Its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 package ensure stable Zener voltage and low leakage even at maximum rated temperature, making it appropriate for downhole and avionics applications.
Does JAN1N4128-1 meet RoHS requirements?
No, JAN1N4128-1 is not RoHS compliant. The JAN reliability level uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750. RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., 1N4128-1e3) are only available in commercial-grade variants, not in JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS configurations.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for JAN1N4128-1?
The maximum Zener current for JAN1N4128-1 is 45.6 mA, calculated from its 500 mW power rating and 60 V Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ). This value assumes operation at 25 °C lead temperature; derating is required above 50 °C per the linear derating curve in the datasheet.
How does the noise performance of JAN1N4128-1 compare to lower-voltage Zeners in the same series?
JAN1N4128-1 exhibits 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 250 mA, consistent with the trend for higher-voltage Zeners in the 1N4099–1N4135 family. Lower-voltage devices (e.g., <10 V) show higher noise (up to 40 µV/√Hz), so JAN1N4128-1 is preferred when low-noise 60 V referencing is required.
