Product details
Overview
JANS1N4109-1/TR from Microsemi is a 15.0 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. It delivers ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4109-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4109-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4109-1/TR application, or JANS1N4109-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability qualification, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), tight thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), and hermetic DO-35 packaging for radiation-hardened environments.
Technical Context
This JANS-level Zener regulator uses a metallurgical bond construction to ensure stable breakdown characteristics under extreme thermal cycling and radiation exposure. Its 15.0 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 250 mA test current with 100 Ω dynamic impedance, supporting precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in analog signal chains.
The device exhibits a +0.085 %/°C temperature coefficient and maximum 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 11.4 V, enabling predictable regulation across wide temperature ranges without external compensation. Its 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 15 V supports low-noise biasing in instrumentation amplifiers and ADC reference circuits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4109-1/TR?
JANS1N4109-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 15.0 V with ±5% tolerance, consistent with the standard JEDEC specification for the 1N4099–1N4135 series. This tolerance is measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, and applies across the full qualified temperature range when used within derated power limits.
Is JANS1N4109-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANS1N4109-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4109-1e3); JANS-level parts retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 requirements for solderability and reliability in high-reliability applications.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in JANS1N4109-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANS1N4109-1/TR denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated placement in high-volume manufacturing. This format includes standard reel quantities and orientation for pick-and-place equipment compatibility.
How is the cathode identified on JANS1N4109-1/TR?
The cathode of JANS1N4109-1/TR is marked by a distinct color band on the glass body. During Zener operation, the banded end must be held positive relative to the anode to maintain reverse-bias breakdown regulation, as confirmed in the mechanical specifications of T4-LDS-0245-2.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4109-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4109-1/TR is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 15.0 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ). This value assumes operation at 25 °C lead temperature and linear derating above 50 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
