Product details
Overview
JANS1N4121D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 33 V, 1% tolerance, 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 stable voltage regulation at 250 mA test current with 200 Ω dynamic impedance, low noise density (≤40 µV/√Hz), and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4121D-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4121D-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4121D-1/TR application, or JANS1N4121D-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (1%), radiation hardness, hermetic glass packaging, MIL-spec qualification level, and thermal derating behavior above 50 °C.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical robustness and low parameter drift under thermal cycling and radiation exposure. The DO-35 axial-glass package provides hermetic sealing and inherent ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C for Zener voltage, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references. Maximum Zener current is 40 mA at 25 °C, with linear power derating to zero at 175 °C ambient on standard FR4 board layout.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4121D-1/TR?
The JANS1N4121D-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 33.0 V with a tight ±1% tolerance, denoted by the "D" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is validated during JANS-level screening, making JANS1N4121D-1/TR suitable for applications requiring minimal post-calibration adjustment.
Is JANS1N4121D-1/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4121D-1/TR is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded structure and hermetic DO-35 glass package provide proven resistance to total ionizing dose (TID) and displacement damage, supporting use in low-earth orbit and nuclear environments without additional shielding.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in JANS1N4121D-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JANS1N4121D-1/TR is supplied in reels optimized for high-volume manufacturing, with full traceability and JANS-level documentation retained for each reel lot.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANS1N4121D-1/TR at 25 °C?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4121D-1/TR is 40 mA at 25 °C ambient, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 33 V Zener voltage. This value assumes proper thermal management; current must be reduced linearly above 50 °C lead temperature per the published derating curve.
Does JANS1N4121D-1/TR require special ESD handling?
No, JANS1N4121D-1/TR is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. Its construction eliminates gate oxides or fine-line structures vulnerable to static discharge, allowing standard handling without wrist straps or ionized air-critical for field maintenance and depot repair workflows.
