Product details
Overview
JANS1N4122-1/TR from Microsemi is a 36 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, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4122-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4122-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4122-1/TR application, or JANS1N4122-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability qualification, low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz), thermal resistance of 250 °C/W (junction-to-lead), and axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision voltage reference and regulation element in analog power supply rails, bias networks, and overvoltage protection circuits where radiation hardness and long-term stability under thermal stress are required. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable Zener voltage under high-temperature operation and mitigates parameter drift in harsh environments.
The JANS1N4122-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C, enabling predictable voltage drift compensation in multi-device reference stacks. Its 0.5 W power rating is linearly derated from 50 °C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at 175 °C - consistent with MIL-PRF-19500/435 thermal performance requirements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4122-1/TR?
The JANS1N4122-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a ±5% tolerance, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with 250 mA test current and reflects the standard JEDEC specification for the 1N4099–1N4135 series.
Is JANS1N4122-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANS1N4122-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade parts; JANS-level devices retain tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability and reliability requirements for high-reliability applications.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4122-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4122-1/TR is 40 mA, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value corresponds to the current at which the device dissipates its rated 500 mW at 36 V, and must be applied with appropriate thermal derating above 50 °C lead temperature.
How is polarity marked on JANS1N4122-1/TR?
JANS1N4122-1/TR uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node during Zener regulation. The anode is the unbanded lead. This marking follows JEDEC DO-35 conventions and is verified in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANS1N4122-1/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANS1N4122-1/TR is 250 °C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the package body. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under sustained power dissipation.
