Product details
Overview
JANS1N4614-1 from Microsemi is a 1.8 V, 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 ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 250 mA test current, 1200 Ω dynamic impedance, and -0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4614-1 datasheet, JANS1N4614-1 pinout, JANS1N4614-1 application, or JANS1N4614-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability qualification, low-noise regulation (1 µV/√Hz), axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical robustness, and thermal derating behavior from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Technical Context
The JANS1N4614-1 operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable junction characteristics under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
It exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 1.8 V at 250 mA, with maximum reverse leakage of 3.5 µA at 1.0 V and dynamic impedance of 1200 Ω measured at 10% AC modulation of IZT - critical for low-noise analog reference and biasing circuits in harsh environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4614-1 | Same electrical specs; qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS) | Approved for high-reliability industrial and ground-based defense systems, not spaceflight | Select when full JANS radiation and thermal cycling requirements are not mandated |
| 1N4614UR-1 | Same Zener parameters; DO-213AA surface-mount package instead of DO-35 axial | Used in automated SMT assembly lines; lacks JANS qualification; RoHS-compliant only | Choose for volume production PCBs where manual axial insertion is impractical |
Compared with JANS1N4614-1, JANTXV1N4614-1 offers identical regulation performance with reduced qualification cost and lead time, while 1N4614UR-1 trades military reliability for SMT manufacturability and RoHS compliance - neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages and qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4614-1?
JANS1N4614-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 1.8 V with ±5% tolerance at 250 mA test current, consistent with JEDEC standard for the 1N4614–1N4627 series. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium conditions at 25 °C ambient, and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening requirements for JANS-level devices.
Is JANS1N4614-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANS1N4614-1 is not RoHS compliant. RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants per the datasheet. The JANS-level qualification requires tin-lead plating for solderability and reliability validation under MIL-STD-750 method 2026, which is incompatible with RoHS restrictions.
What is the maximum operating temperature for JANS1N4614-1?
JANS1N4614-1 supports junction and storage temperatures from -65 °C to +175 °C. Its power dissipation linearly derates from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C, enabling reliable operation in extreme environments such as jet engine bays or spacecraft thermal vacuum chambers.
How is polarity marked on JANS1N4614-1?
JANS1N4614-1 uses a single black cathode band on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode and must be held positive relative to the anode for proper Zener regulation. This marking conforms to industry-standard DO-35 axial-leaded diode conventions and is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 visual inspection requirements.
Does JANS1N4614-1 require heatsinking in typical applications?
JANS1N4614-1 does not require external heatsinking in most applications due to its 500 mW rating and DO-35 package thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (with 3/8″ lead length). However, sustained operation above 50 °C ambient requires linear derating per Figure 2 in the datasheet, and board-level copper area should follow Microsemi's recommended 4 mm² pad layout for optimal thermal performance.
