Product details
Overview
JANS1N4126D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 51 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 300 Ω dynamic impedance, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and radiation-hardened performance.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4126D-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4126D-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4126D-1/TR application, or JANS1N4126D-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (1%), JANS-level qualification, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), noise density at 51 V, and axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical compatibility in harsh-environment PCB layouts.
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 stable long-term Zener voltage drift under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The JANS1N4126D-1/TR exhibits a +0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient above 50 V, supports 38.8 mA maximum Zener current at rated power, and maintains ≤0.01 µA reverse leakage at 38.8 V, enabling use in reference circuits where stability over temperature and time is critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4126D-1/TR?
The JANS1N4126D-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51.0 V with a ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is guaranteed under standard test conditions at 25 °C with 250 mA Zener test current, and applies across the full qualified temperature range when used within derated power limits.
Is JANS1N4126D-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, the JANS1N4126D-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants-not for JANS-level devices. The JANS1N4126D-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating on its axial leads to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements for high-reliability military assemblies.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANS1N4126D-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANS1N4126D-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, intended for automated pick-and-place assembly. This format contains the same JANS-qualified device as the bulk version but supplied in industry-standard carrier tape with 2,000 units per reel, enabling high-volume manufacturing without manual handling.
How is the polarity marked on JANS1N4126D-1/TR?
The JANS1N4126D-1/TR uses a single black band on the glass body to mark the cathode terminal. When operated in Zener regulation mode, the banded end must be held at a higher potential than the anode (i.e., reverse biased), allowing current to flow from cathode to anode to maintain 51 V across the device.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANS1N4126D-1/TR at 25 °C?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANS1N4126D-1/TR is 38.8 mA at 25 °C lead temperature, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 51 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes ideal heat sinking; actual usable current decreases linearly above 50 °C lead temperature per the published derating curve.
