Overview
JANS1N4126-1/TR from Microsemi is a 51 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications, with 1% voltage tolerance, 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and max noise density of 1 µV/√Hz.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4126-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4126-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4126-1/TR application, or JANS1N4126-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±1%), radiation hardness, low noise performance, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), and military-grade qualification level.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, delivering stable regulation across wide current (250 mA test point) and temperature (-65 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and vibration stress.
The JANS1N4126-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and maximum reverse leakage of 10 nA at 38.8 V, supporting use in low-drift reference circuits where parametric consistency across environmental extremes is critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4126US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or wire-wrap | Select when automated assembly, board space constraints, or vibration resistance outweigh lead-forming flexibility |
| JANTXV1N4126-1 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical parameters, but qualified only to JANTXV (not JANS) level | Lacks full JANS screening (e.g., burn-in, lot acceptance tests); not approved for Class S spaceflight | Select for high-reliability ground-based systems where JANS cost premium is unjustified |
Compared with JANS1N4126-1/TR, the 1N4126US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices mechanical serviceability, while JANTXV1N4126-1 reduces procurement cost and lead time at the expense of radiation tolerance validation and extended screening coverage.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4126-1/TR?
JANS1N4126-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51.0 V with a ±1% tolerance, corresponding to the "D" suffix in its nomenclature per Microsemi's part numbering system. This tight tolerance is achieved through post-process binning and verified during JANS-level qualification testing at 25 °C with thermal equilibrium.
Is JANS1N4126-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANS1N4126-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants; JANS-level devices retain tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability and reliability requirements.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANS1N4126-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANS1N4126-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. This packaging option is optional and must be specified at order time; the base part JANS1N4126-1 is supplied in bulk or ammo pack formats.
How is polarity marked on JANS1N4126-1/TR?
JANS1N4126-1/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body - the banded end is the cathode and must be held at higher potential than the anode for proper Zener regulation. This marking complies with JEDEC DO-35 orientation standards and is visible under 10× magnification.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4126-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4126-1/TR is 38.8 mA at 25 °C ambient, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 51 V Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ). Derating begins linearly above 50 °C lead temperature, reaching zero at 175 °C.
