Product details
Overview
JAN1N4128C-1/TR 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/TR datasheet, JAN1N4128C-1/TR pinout, JAN1N4128C-1/TR application, or JAN1N4128C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), and MIL-spec qualification level - all critical for precision reference and radiation-hardened designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 60.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (400 Ω) and minimal temperature coefficient (+0.100 %/°C). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
Designed for operation in the Zener breakdown region, it delivers regulated voltage across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 45.6 mA max), with leakage current limited to ≤0.01 µA at VR = 48 V and noise density specified at ≤1 µV/√Hz - enabling use in low-noise analog references and precision biasing circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4128US-1 | Same 60 V, 2% spec but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping | Select when automated assembly and space-constrained layouts are required |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JAN1N4128C-1/TR?
JAN1N4128C-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its nomenclature. This means its nominal 60.0 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 58.8 V and 61.2 V at IZT = 250 mA and TA = 25 °C. The tighter tolerance supports precision regulation where standard ±5% devices would introduce unacceptable error margins.
Is JAN1N4128C-1/TR suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, JAN1N4128C-1/TR is rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C and features linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C. Its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 package ensure stable Zener voltage and low leakage even under sustained thermal stress, making it suitable for engine bay or spacecraft thermal environments.
Does JAN1N4128C-1/TR meet RoHS requirements?
JAN1N4128C-1/TR uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its leads, as confirmed in the Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. While the "e3" RoHS suffix is reserved for commercial-grade versions, the JAN-level part retains RoHS compliance per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 solderability testing - verified for lead-free assembly processes.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4128C-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JAN1N4128C-1/TR 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; actual usable current decreases with rising ambient or lead temperature due to thermal derating per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
How does the noise performance of JAN1N4128C-1/TR compare to lower-voltage Zeners?
JAN1N4128C-1/TR exhibits ≤1 µV/√Hz noise density at IZT = 250 mA - consistent with Microsemi's specification that noise falls rapidly below 6.8 V and stabilizes at this ultra-low level for voltages ≥60 V. This makes it significantly quieter than mid-range Zeners (e.g., 12 V parts at ~40 µV/√Hz), supporting high-fidelity analog references where noise floor directly impacts measurement resolution.
