Product details
Overview
JAN1N4626-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 5.6 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. It delivers ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, 1400 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the JAN1N4626-1 datasheet, JAN1N4626-1 pinout, JAN1N4626-1 application, or JAN1N4626-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its JANS qualification, low noise density (4 μV/√Hz), 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, and thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead - critical for stable biasing in radiation-hardened analog references.
Technical Context
The JAN1N4626-1 functions as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V at 250 mA test current (IZT). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and vibration stress.
It exhibits a temperature coefficient of –0.020 %/°C to +0.040 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature-range circuits. Maximum reverse leakage is 5.0 μA at 4.0 V (VR), and dynamic impedance (ZZT) is 1400 Ω - optimized for low-noise reference generation rather than high-current regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V at 250 mA - defines stable regulation point for analog reference and overvoltage clamp circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact, unheatsinked designs with linear derating above 50 °C. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1400 Ω at 250 mA - indicates moderate AC impedance; suitable for low-frequency biasing, not fast transient suppression. |
| Noise Density (ND) | 4 μV/√Hz at IZT - enables low-noise voltage references in precision instrumentation and sensor signal chains. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | –0.020 to +0.040 %/°C - allows predictable voltage drift modeling across –65 °C to +175 °C operating range. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 μA at 4.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby or low-power monitoring circuits. |
| Package | DO-35 (DO-204AH) - axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package rated for high-reliability military/aerospace use. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with cathode indicated by band; operated with banded end positive for Zener regulation. Hermetically sealed, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, ~0.2 g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference Ground Node | Connected to circuit ground or common return; establishes reference potential for Zener breakdown. |
| Cathode | Regulated Output Node | Banded terminal; supplies stable 5.6 V when reverse-biased; must be held at higher potential than anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Metallurgical Bond Construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal shock and mechanical stress - essential for space-grade reliability. |
| JANS Qualification | Fully qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 - meets highest military screening for radiation hardness, burn-in, and life testing. |
| Low Noise Density | 4 μV/√Hz at 5.6 V enables sub-mV RMS noise in precision analog references without external filtering. |
| Hermetic Glass Encapsulation | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift over decades - validated for >20-year shelf life in controlled storage. |
| ESD Immunity | Non-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for handling precautions during board assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4626US | Same 5.6 V Zener voltage and DO-35 package, but commercial-grade (non-mil-qualified); RoHS compliant (e3). | Lacks JANS screening and radiation hardness validation; unsuitable for space or nuclear environments. | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where full MIL-PRF-19500 compliance is not required. |
| JANTXV1N4626 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package; qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS but higher than JAN). | Validated for high-reliability avionics but not certified for space radiation environments per MIL-STD-883. | Choose when JANS-level radiation assurance is unnecessary but extended temperature and burn-in screening are mandatory. |
Compared with JAN1N4626-1, 1N4626US offers lower cost and RoHS compliance but no military qualification, while JANTXV1N4626 provides intermediate reliability assurance - making JAN1N4626-1 the sole choice for mission-critical spaceflight and nuclear instrumentation where full JANS screening is mandated.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JAN1N4626-1?
JAN1N4626-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium conditions at 25 °C with 250 mA test current (IZT).
Is JAN1N4626-1 suitable for surface-mount PCB designs?
No - JAN1N4626-1 uses the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package and is not a surface-mount device. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the 1N4626UR-1 in DO-213AA and 1PMT4626 in DO-216 packages, which share identical electrical specs but differ in mounting form factor and qualification level.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JAN1N4626-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JAN1N4626-1 is 5.0 μA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 4.0 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official Microsemi datasheet T4-LDS-0245-2. This value is specified at 25 °C and reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown bias conditions.
Does JAN1N4626-1 require heatsinking in typical operation?
JAN1N4626-1 does not require external heatsinking at ≤500 mW dissipation and lead temperature ≤50 °C. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 250 °C/W, so at 250 mA and 5.6 V (1.4 W theoretical), it must be operated below 250 mA to stay within 500 mW - typically limiting practical current to ~89 mA for continuous operation at 25 °C ambient.
How is polarity marked on JAN1N4626-1?
JAN1N4626-1 uses a cathode band marking on the glass body - the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode to achieve Zener breakdown regulation. Polarity is verified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and documented in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet.
