Product details
Overview
JAN1N4128C-1 from Microsemi is a 60 V, 2% tolerance, 500 mW 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 JAN1N4128C-1 datasheet, JAN1N4128C-1 pinout, JAN1N4128C-1 application, or JAN1N4128C-1 equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), dynamic impedance (400 Ω at 250 mA), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and JANS-qualified thermal stability across –65 °C to +175 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 60.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C - critical for stable reference generation in wide-temperature military systems.
Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise (1 µV/√Hz), minimal capacitance (<1.5 pF per Figure 3), and radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050, supporting use in space-grade analog front-ends and regulated bias networks where leakage and drift must remain predictable under stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 60.0 V at IZT = 250 mA - defines stable regulation point for 55–65 V supply rails |
| Zener Voltage Tolerance | ±2% (C grade) - enables tighter output tolerance vs. standard ±5% variants in precision references |
| Max Power Dissipation | 500 mW at TC = 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact axial-leaded layouts with 250 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal path |
| Zener Impedance | 400 Ω at IZT - determines load regulation error under varying current (e.g., ±24 mV change per ±10 mA load shift) |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - ensures low-noise performance in analog sensor excitation and reference buffers |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.100 %/°C - provides predictable, monotonic voltage drift over –65 °C to +175 °C operating range |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.01 µA at VR = 45.6 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass package; cathode indicated by band; banded end is anode when used in forward conduction, but functions as cathode (positive terminal) during Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Zener cathode connection | Connected to higher-potential rail; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal to be at higher voltage than cathode |
| Cathode (unbanded end) | Zener anode connection | Connected to regulated output or ground reference; current flows from anode to cathode during breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 JAN qualification | Validated reliability for mission-critical applications including avionics power sequencing and satellite telemetry conditioning |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates interfacial voids to ensure stable long-term Zener voltage and low parametric drift under thermal cycling |
| 1 µV/√Hz noise density | Enables use in low-noise reference chains without additional filtering, reducing BOM count in precision ADC drivers |
| Hermetic glass DO-35 package | Provides moisture immunity and outgassing control required for vacuum and high-humidity military environments |
| –65 °C to +175 °C operating range | Supports deployment in engine-mounted control units and orbital payload electronics without derating penalties |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4128-1 | Same 60 V nominal voltage, but ±5% tolerance (blank suffix) vs. ±2% for JAN1N4128C-1 | Acceptable for non-critical industrial supplies where tighter tolerance not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision needs; identical package and thermal specs |
| JANTX1N4128C-1 | Identical electrical specs and 2% tolerance, but qualified to JANTX level (higher screening than JAN) | Required for programs mandating extended burn-in and lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-19500 | Choose when procurement specifications require JANTX-level reliability documentation and traceability |
Compared with JAN1N4128C-1, 1N4128-1 trades ±2% tolerance for lower cost and broader commercial availability, while JANTX1N4128C-1 adds enhanced screening without altering regulation performance - enabling tiered sourcing for different program maturity stages.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4128C-1?
JAN1N4128C-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This is tighter than the standard ±5% tolerance of the base 1N4128-1 variant, making JAN1N4128C-1 suitable for precision reference applications where regulation accuracy is critical across temperature and life.
Is JAN1N4128C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JAN1N4128C-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JAN-qualified devices like JAN1N4128C-1, which retain tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and reliability standards.
What is the maximum Zener test current for JAN1N4128C-1?
The maximum Zener test current IZT for JAN1N4128C-1 is 250 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This current establishes the nominal 60.0 V Zener voltage and is used to measure dynamic impedance (400 Ω) and noise density (1 µV/√Hz).
How does the temperature coefficient affect JAN1N4128C-1 in circuit design?
JAN1N4128C-1 has a temperature coefficient αVZ of +0.100 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 60 mV per 10 °C rise. Designers must account for this monotonic drift in high-stability references - for example, using complementary components or calibration routines to maintain system-level accuracy over –65 °C to +175 °C.
What packaging options exist for JAN1N4128C-1?
JAN1N4128C-1 is supplied exclusively in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) hermetically sealed glass package, as confirmed in Microsemi's mechanical drawings and packaging notes. Surface-mount variants (e.g., DO-213AA or DO-216) exist for other members of the 1N41xx family but are not offered for the JAN-qualified JAN1N4128C-1.
