Product details
Overview
JANS1N4615-1/TR from Microsemi is a 2.0 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, 1250 Ω dynamic impedance, and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 2.0 V, operating across –65 °C to +175 °C.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4615-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4615-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4615-1/TR application, or JANS1N4615-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability qualification, low-noise regulation (1 µV/√Hz), thermal stability up to 175 °C, and axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at IZT = 250 mA and characterized over full military temperature range. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable junction behavior under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The JANS1N4615-1/TR exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –0.075 %/°C and maintains ≤1.0 µA reverse current at VR = 2.0 V, supporting low-power biasing and reference functions in analog signal chains and power supervision circuits where long-term parametric drift must be minimized.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 2.0 V ±5% at 250 mA - defines stable regulation point for low-voltage reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1250 Ω at 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤1.0 µA at VR = 2.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or sensing paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4615US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires rework of PCB layout for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is available |
| JANTXV1N4615-1 | Identical DO-35 package and electrical parameters; qualified to JANTXV (not JANS) per MIL-PRF-19500/435 | Lacks JANS-level screening for radiation hardness and extended life testing; not approved for spaceflight | Select for high-reliability ground systems where full JANS qualification is not mandated |
Compared with JANS1N4615-1/TR, the 1N4615US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but requires SMT infrastructure, while JANTXV1N4615-1 reduces cost and lead time but omits radiation tolerance and extended burn-in required for orbital missions.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4615-1/TR?
JANS1N4615-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, as defined in the Electrical Characteristics table at IZT = 250 mA and 25 °C. This tolerance remains valid across the full military temperature range due to JANS-level screening and metallurgical bond construction, ensuring consistent performance in mission-critical systems.
Is JANS1N4615-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANS1N4615-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide and datasheet notes, RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) is available only on commercial-grade versions. The JANS variant uses traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
What is the maximum operating temperature for JANS1N4615-1/TR?
JANS1N4615-1/TR has a junction and storage temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. Its rated 500 mW power dissipation linearly derates to zero at 175 °C, enabling reliable operation in engine bays, satellite payload bays, and nuclear containment zones where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits.
Does JANS1N4615-1/TR require heatsinking in standard PCB layouts?
No additional heatsinking is required for JANS1N4615-1/TR at ≤500 mW dissipation within its derating curve. With RθJA = 300 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pads), self-heating remains within specification at 25 °C ambient. At elevated ambient temperatures, layout must follow the linear derating profile shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet to avoid exceeding 175 °C junction limit.
How is polarity marked on JANS1N4615-1/TR?
JANS1N4615-1/TR uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node during Zener regulation. This marking complies with JEDEC DO-35 standards and is visible on the glass body; the anode is the unmarked lead. Polarity reversal will cause forward conduction at ~1.1 V instead of 2.0 V regulation.
