Product details
Overview
JANS1N4123C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 39 V, 2% 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 voltage regulation. It delivers stable reference voltage across wide current (250 mA test current) and temperature (-65°C to +175°C) ranges with low dynamic impedance (200 Ω) and low noise density (1 µV/√Hz).
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4123C-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4123C-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4123C-1/TR application, or JANS1N4123C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (2%), radiation hardness, MIL-spec qualification level (JANS), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), and low-noise performance at 39 V.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical stability under thermal cycling and shock, critical for space-grade applications.
The JANS1N4123C-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and maintains ≤0.01 µA reverse leakage at 31.2 V, enabling stable biasing in high-temperature analog circuits and reference supplies where long-term drift must be minimized.
