Product details
Overview
JANS1N4100-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 7.5 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. It delivers ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, 250 mA test current, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4100-1 datasheet, JANS1N4100-1 pinout, JANS1N4100-1 application, or JANS1N4100-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level radiation hardness, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), hermetic DO-35 packaging, and thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead - critical for space-grade analog reference and overvoltage protection designs.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V at 250 mA test current. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and ionizing radiation exposure.
The JANS1N4100-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.065 %/°C and maintains ≤1.0 µA reverse leakage at VR = 5.7 V. Its 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT supports stable regulation across load current variations in low-noise analog supply rails.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4100-1 | Same electrical specs but qualified only to JANTXV level; lacks JANS radiation hardness validation | Suitable for high-reliability ground-based military systems where TID exposure is not expected | Select when full JANS screening and radiation testing are not required to reduce cost and lead time |
| 1N4100US-1 | Same Zener voltage and DO-213AA surface-mount package; 250 mW rating vs. 500 mW | Used in compact PCB layouts where axial leads are impractical but lower power dissipation is acceptable | Choose for space-constrained avionics modules needing SMT assembly compatibility and moderate derating |
Compared with JANTXV1N4100-1 and 1N4100US-1, the JANS1N4100-1 uniquely combines JANS-level radiation hardness, 500 mW power handling, and hermetic DO-35 packaging - making it the sole option for mission-critical spaceborne voltage references requiring zero parameter drift after radiation exposure.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4100-1?
JANS1N4100-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C with 250 mA test current.
Is JANS1N4100-1 compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
JANS1N4100-1 features tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 and is rated for 10 s at 260 °C solder temperature. While RoHS-compliant versions exist for commercial grades (e.g., with e3 suffix), the JANS variant uses traditional tin-lead terminations and is not qualified for lead-free reflow profiles exceeding 260 °C.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANS1N4100-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANS1N4100-1 is 1.0 µA at VR = 5.7 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value is measured at 25 °C and reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown bias.
Does JANS1N4100-1 require heatsinking in typical applications?
JANS1N4100-1 has a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead when mounted with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body. At 500 mW dissipation and 25 °C ambient, junction temperature rises ~125 °C - within its –65 °C to +175 °C rating. Heatsinking is not required if lead length and PCB copper area meet the FR4 mounting conditions described in the Maximum Ratings table.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JANS1N4100-1 performance?
JANS1N4100-1 has a temperature coefficient αVZ of +0.065 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 4.88 mV/°C near 7.5 V. This predictable positive drift allows compensation in precision references and ensures monotonic behavior across –65 °C to +175 °C without reversal or knee effects.
