Product details
Overview
JAN1N4129C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 62 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±2% voltage tolerance, 500 Ω max dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and 0.01 µA max reverse leakage at 47.1 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference in high-reliability military power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4129C-1 datasheet, JAN1N4129C-1 pinout, JAN1N4129C-1 application, or JAN1N4129C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), JANS qualification status, DO-35 axial-leaded hermetic packaging, noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz), and thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode for regulation. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable voltage regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It delivers 62 V nominal regulation at 250 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance measured at 10% AC modulation superimposed on IZT, and exhibits minimal capacitance (<1.5 pF typical) and low noise density - critical for low-noise analog references and precision biasing in avionics and space-grade systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±2% at 250 mA - enables precise mid-range voltage reference with tight tolerance for calibration-critical circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports stable operation in compact, conduction-cooled military PCB layouts with linear derating to zero at 175 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 500 Ω max at 250 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients in regulated supply feedback paths. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.01 µA max at 47.1 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance sensing and reference divider networks. |
| Noise Density (ND) | ≤1 µV/√Hz - provides ultra-low noise performance essential for precision instrumentation and ADC reference buffers. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.100 %/°C - allows predictable, monotonic drift compensation in temperature-stable reference designs. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - meets extended environmental requirements for aerospace, missile, and downhole electronics. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; cathode indicated by black band; weight ≈0.2 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink in reverse bias | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; carries full Zener current during regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JAN1N4129-1 | Same 62 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (vs. ±2% for JAN1N4129C-1) | Acceptable where tighter tolerance not required; lower cost for non-critical biasing | Select when budget constraints outweigh precision needs and JANS qualification remains mandatory |
| 1N4129UR-1 | Same electrical specs, but DO-213AA surface-mount package (vs. DO-35 axial) | Required for automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole or high-vibration mechanical mounting | Choose only when board-level automation and space constraints justify trade-off in mechanical robustness |
Compared with JAN1N4129-1 and 1N4129UR-1, the JAN1N4129C-1 uniquely combines JANS qualification, ±2% tolerance, and DO-35 axial packaging - making it the sole option for legacy-replacement, high-precision, vibration-resistant military power references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4129C-1?
JAN1N4129C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V with a tolerance of ±2%, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tighter tolerance enables higher-accuracy voltage referencing compared to standard ±5% variants like JAN1N4129-1, and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test requirements.
Is JAN1N4129C-1 qualified to JANS level?
Yes, JAN1N4129C-1 is fully qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, including radiation hardness testing, extended burn-in, and lot acceptance testing. This qualification is confirmed in the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet and applies specifically to the JAN1N4129C-1 variant, not commercial or lower-reliability grades.
What package type does JAN1N4129C-1 use?
JAN1N4129C-1 uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package. Dimensions comply with JEDEC standards: body diameter 1.42–2.29 mm, body length 3.56–5.08 mm, and lead length 25.4–38.1 mm. The cathode is marked by a black band on the glass envelope.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4129C-1?
JAN1N4129C-1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at VR = 47.1 V (80% of nominal VZ), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference networks and minimizes error in precision divider circuits used with the JAN1N4129C-1.
Does JAN1N4129C-1 require special ESD handling?
No, JAN1N4129C-1 is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, as confirmed in the official datasheet. Its metallurgically bonded structure and glass encapsulation eliminate gate oxide vulnerability, allowing standard handling without ESD workstations or wrist straps in production environments.
