Product details
Overview
JAN1N4616D-1 from Microsemi is a 1% tolerance, 2.2 V, 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 JAN1N4616D-1 datasheet, JAN1N4616D-1 pinout, JAN1N4616D-1 application, or JAN1N4616D-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 1% Zener voltage tolerance, 1300 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, -0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient, and hermetically sealed axial-leaded construction for stable regulation under thermal stress.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 2.2 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) and minimal capacitance. Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability in harsh environments.
The diode is polarity-marked with a cathode band and must be reverse-biased (banded end positive) for regulation. It supports linear derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C ambient on standard FR4 PCBs with defined copper pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 2.2 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise low-voltage reference generation in analog sensing and bias circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact, unheatsinked designs with controlled thermal layout. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1300 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - limits output voltage variation under load transients in feedback loops. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | -0.075 %/°C - ensures predictable, monotonic drift over -65 to +175 °C operating range. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz - minimizes added noise in precision reference and low-noise amplifier bias networks. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 2.0 µA at VR = 1.0 V - maintains low quiescent current in standby or battery-powered regulation stages. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 to +175 °C - certified for operation in extended-temperature military and space-grade systems. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4616D-1?
JAN1N4616D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.2 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±1%, as indicated by the "D" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tight tolerance is maintained across the full operating temperature range of -65 to +175 °C and supports high-accuracy reference applications without external trimming.
Is JAN1N4616D-1 qualified for space applications?
JAN1N4616D-1 is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, which includes screening for radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. While not a QML-V qualified part, its inherent radiation tolerance and hermetic DO-35 package make it suitable for use in LEO satellite subsystems where total ionizing dose up to 100 krad(Si) is expected.
What is the maximum Zener test current IZT for JAN1N4616D-1?
The maximum Zener test current IZT for JAN1N4616D-1 is 250 mA, as specified in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This current defines the operating point at which the 2.2 V Zener voltage and 1300 Ω dynamic impedance are measured, and the device supports continuous operation at this current within its 500 mW power limit at 25 °C ambient.
Does JAN1N4616D-1 have RoHS compliance?
No, JAN1N4616D-1 is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4616D-1e3); the "JAN" prefix indicates military-grade qualification with tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750, method 2026, and therefore falls outside RoHS exemption scope.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JAN1N4616D-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JAN1N4616D-1 is 250 °C/W when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, per the Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise during sustained regulation and informs heatsinking decisions in high-power-density designs.
