Product details
Overview
JANS1N4118C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 27.0 V, 500 mW, 2% tolerance 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 requiring stable voltage regulation under wide temperature and current variation.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4118C-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4118C-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4118C-1/TR application, or JANS1N4118C-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its 27.0 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, 150 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.01 µA maximum reverse leakage at 20.5 V, radiation-hardened construction, and hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 package.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a specified Zener test current (IZT) of 250 mA and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C - critical for thermal stability in high-temperature environments. Its metallurgical bond ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages) and minimal capacitance, supporting low-jitter reference design.
The JANS1N4118C-1/TR is rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C and features a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (with 10 mm lead length), enabling reliable operation in conduction-cooled military platforms where ambient thermal management is constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JANS1N4118C-1/TR?
JANS1N4118C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 27.0 V at 250 mA test current with a tight ±2% tolerance. This value is measured under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C and reflects the device's precision regulation capability in high-reliability applications such as avionics and satellite systems where calibration margin is constrained.
Is JANS1N4118C-1/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4118C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 due to its metallurgically bonded structure and hermetic DO-35 packaging. It is qualified for use in low-Earth orbit and nuclear instrumentation without supplemental shielding, maintaining Zener voltage stability after total ionizing dose exposure up to 100 krad(Si).
What does the "C" in JANS1N4118C-1/TR signify?
The "C" in JANS1N4118C-1/TR denotes ±2% Zener voltage tolerance per the Microsemi part nomenclature. It distinguishes this variant from the standard ±5% (blank suffix) and ±1% (D suffix) versions within the same 1N4118-1 family, enabling tighter system-level voltage accuracy without post-manufacture trimming.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANS1N4118C-1/TR?
JANS1N4118C-1/TR has a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.01 µA at 20.5 V (76% of nominal Zener voltage). This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference circuits, preserving accuracy in precision analog measurement and calibration systems.
Does JANS1N4118C-1/TR require derating above 25 °C?
Yes, JANS1N4118C-1/TR must be linearly derated from 500 mW starting at 25 °C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at 175 °C. For PCB-mounted operation, derating follows the curve in Figure 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2, ensuring safe thermal operation in conduction-cooled enclosures without forced airflow.
