Product details
Overview
JANS1N4126C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 51 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 applications. It delivers stable voltage regulation with 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, 7.5 mA maximum Zener current, and low noise density of 1 µV/√Hz.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4126C-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4126C-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4126C-1/TR application, or JANS1N4126C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level radiation hardness, 51 V nominal Zener voltage with 2% tolerance, DO-35 axial-leaded hermetic package, and verified performance across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
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 operation.
The JANS1N4126C-1/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C above 50 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits. Its 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 51 V supports low-noise analog references where spectral purity is essential.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4126C-1 | Same electrical specs but qualified only to JANTXV level; lower radiation tolerance and screening depth than JANS | Suitable for airborne avionics where full JANS qualification is not mandated | Select when cost and lead time are prioritized over space-grade radiation assurance |
| 1N4126C-1/TR | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; RoHS-compliant plating | Applicable in industrial test gear or non-safety-critical instrumentation | Choose for terrestrial applications requiring same Zener voltage but without military screening |
Compared with JANS1N4126C-1/TR, JANTXV1N4126C-1 offers reduced screening rigor and radiation assurance, while 1N4126C-1/TR sacrifices all military qualification for commercial cost and RoHS compliance-making JANS1N4126C-1/TR the sole choice for mission-critical space systems demanding full JANS compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4126C-1/TR?
JANS1N4126C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a ±2% tolerance, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and remains stable across the full –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range due to its metallurgical bond construction and JANS-level screening.
Is JANS1N4126C-1/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
JANS1N4126C-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 and is rated for 10 s at 260 °C solder temperature. While it can withstand lead-free reflow profiles, it is not RoHS compliant due to its JANS qualification and lead content; Microsemi does not offer a RoHS-compliant JANS variant of JANS1N4126C-1/TR.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for JANS1N4126C-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANS1N4126C-1/TR is 75 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 51 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at 25 °C lead temperature; current must be linearly derated above 50 °C per the published power derating curve in the datasheet.
Does JANS1N4126C-1/TR have documented radiation hardness data?
Yes, JANS1N4126C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded die and hermetic DO-35 package provide proven tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID), making it suitable for low-earth orbit and nuclear environments without additional shielding or derating.
How is polarity marked on JANS1N4126C-1/TR?
JANS1N4126C-1/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode for proper Zener regulation. This marking complies with JEDEC standards and is visible under standard visual inspection during board assembly.
