Product details
Overview
JANS1N4120D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 30 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense voltage regulation. It delivers stable reference voltage with 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, <0.01 µA reverse leakage at 22.8 V, and +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4120D-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4120D-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4120D-1/TR application, or JANS1N4120D-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (1%), radiation hardness, hermetic glass packaging, MIL-spec qualification level, and noise density performance in precision analog references.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250 °C/W) and stable long-term Zener voltage drift under thermal cycling.
The JANS1N4120D-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C), making it suitable for temperature-compensated reference designs when paired with negative-TC components. Its 40 µV/√Hz noise density at 30 V supports low-noise analog signal conditioning in instrumentation-grade circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4120US-1 | Same 30 V, 1% spec but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical mounting | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is available |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4120D-1/TR?
JANS1N4120D-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 30.0 V with ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature per Microsemi's part numbering standard. This tight tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening and applies at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature. The JANS1N4120D-1/TR maintains this specification across its qualified temperature range.
Is JANS1N4120D-1/TR suitable for radiation-intensive environments?
Yes, JANS1N4120D-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, which includes rigorous radiation testing. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and hermetic DO-35 package provide proven resilience to total ionizing dose (TID), making JANS1N4120D-1/TR appropriate for satellite, nuclear, and high-altitude avionics applications.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANS1N4120D-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANS1N4120D-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. This format is standard for volume orders and does not affect electrical or reliability specifications. JANS1N4120D-1/TR retains full JANS qualification and 1% Zener tolerance regardless of packaging method.
How is thermal derating applied to JANS1N4120D-1/TR?
JANS1N4120D-1/TR linearly derates from 500 mW at 25 °C ambient to zero at 175 °C, per Figure 2 in the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. Derating begins at 50 °C lead temperature, with RθJL = 250 °C/W measured at 3/8″ lead length. For PCB-mounted use, thermal performance depends on copper pad area and trace geometry as specified in the datasheet notes.
Can JANS1N4120D-1/TR be used in place of commercial-grade 1N4120D-1?
No - JANS1N4120D-1/TR is not a drop-in replacement for commercial 1N4120D-1 due to differences in screening, traceability, and qualification. While both share identical electrical parameters, JANS1N4120D-1/TR undergoes full MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANS-level testing including burn-in, thermal cycling, and lot acceptance tests. Substituting requires formal design change approval in certified systems.
