Product details
Overview
JANS1N4129C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 62 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, 500 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and 40 µV/√Hz max noise density - used for precision voltage regulation in radiation-hardened aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4129C-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4129C-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4129C-1/TR application, or JANS1N4129C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-qualified reliability level (JANS), 62 V nominal Zener voltage with 2% tolerance, DO-35 axial-leaded hermetic packaging, thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead, and low-noise performance critical for analog reference circuits.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener regulator with cathode band marking polarity, requiring banded end positive relative to anode for regulation. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
It delivers regulated voltage over broad current ranges (IZK to IZM = 47.1 mA max) with temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF at 62 V), supporting stable reference generation in high-reliability analog signal chains where low noise and long-term parametric stability are mandatory.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4129US-1/TR | Same 62 V Zener voltage and JANS qualification, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; no axial through-hole mounting | Select when automated assembly and board space reduction are priorities over legacy through-hole compatibility |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4129C-1/TR?
JANS1N4129C-1/TR has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 250 mA test current, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its nomenclature per Microsemi's part numbering convention. This tighter tolerance enables higher-accuracy voltage references compared to standard ±5% variants like JANS1N4129-1/TR, and is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1.
Is JANS1N4129C-1/TR suitable for radiation-hardened applications?
Yes, JANS1N4129C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, making it suitable for total ionizing dose (TID) environments up to 100 krad(Si). Its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 package contribute to this radiation resilience, confirmed in the Applications/Benefits section of the datasheet.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANS1N4129C-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANS1N4129C-1/TR is 47.1 mA at 25 °C, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 62 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ ≈ 500 mW / 62 V). This value is explicitly listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1.
Does JANS1N4129C-1/TR have low-noise performance?
Yes, JANS1N4129C-1/TR exhibits low-noise performance with a maximum noise density of 40 µV/√Hz at 250 mA test current and 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This performance is typical for Zener diodes ≥6.8 V and supports use in precision analog references where spectral purity is critical.
What package type does JANS1N4129C-1/TR use?
JANS1N4129C-1/TR uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package with cathode indicated by a band. Mechanical dimensions, plating details (tin-lead or RoHS matte-tin), and weight (~0.2 g) are documented in the Mechanical and Packaging section on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1.
