Product details
Overview
JANS1N4118-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 27.0 V, ±1% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. It delivers stable voltage regulation with 150 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, 0.01 µA max reverse leakage at 20.5 V, and +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4118-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4118-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4118-1/TR application, or JANS1N4118-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level radiation hardness, low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V), hermetic glass sealing, and precise 27.0 V Zener voltage with 1% tolerance under military-grade thermal and reliability testing.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and vibration stress typical of spaceflight and avionics systems.
The JANS1N4118-1/TR exhibits a linear power derating curve from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C, and maintains ≤40 µV/√Hz noise density above 6.8 V - though actual ND at 27 V is ≤1 µV/√Hz per specification. Its junction-to-lead thermal resistance is 250 °C/W with 10 mm lead length.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4118-1 | Same 27.0 V, ±1%, DO-35, but qualified only to JANTXV level (not JANS); lower radiation tolerance | Lacks full Class S space qualification; suitable for ground-test or non-flight subsystems | Select when full JANS documentation and radiation testing are not required |
| 1N4118US-1 | Same electrical specs, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; incompatible with through-hole mounting | Select only if board layout supports SMT and JANS-level reliability is not mandatory |
Compared with JANTXV1N4118-1 and 1N4118US-1, the JANS1N4118-1/TR provides the highest assurance of performance stability under radiation, thermal shock, and long-term storage - essential for flight-critical voltage references where replacement is impossible post-deployment.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JANS1N4118-1/TR?
The JANS1N4118-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 27.0 V with a tight ±1% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This precision enables use in high-accuracy reference circuits where voltage drift must remain within strict limits across temperature and time.
Is JANS1N4118-1/TR qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435?
Yes, JANS1N4118-1/TR is fully qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, including extended environmental testing, lot traceability, radiation hardness verification, and screening for spaceflight use. Documentation includes certified test reports and conformance certificates for each production lot.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANS1N4118-1/TR?
The JANS1N4118-1/TR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at 20.5 V, ensuring minimal loading on high-impedance circuits such as precision voltage monitors and radiation detector bias networks where even nanoamp-level errors degrade accuracy.
Does JANS1N4118-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANS1N4118-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with validated performance up to ≥100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose. This makes it suitable for satellite power systems, nuclear instrumentation, and other high-radiation environments where parametric stability is mandatory.
What package type does JANS1N4118-1/TR use and how is polarity marked?
JANS1N4118-1/TR uses the hermetically sealed DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package. Polarity is marked by a distinct black cathode band; the banded end is the cathode and must be held positive relative to the anode for proper Zener regulation operation.
