JANS1N4617-1/TR from Microsemi is a 2.4 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 250 mA Zener test current, 1400 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V, and -0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4617-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4617-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4617-1/TR application, or JANS1N4617-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation hardness, hermetic glass packaging, and MIL-qualified thermal derating behavior up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with regulation stable across wide current (250 mA IZT) and temperature (-65 to +175 °C) ranges. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise (1 µV/√Hz at 2.4 V) and inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
The JANS1N4617-1/TR exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -0.075 %/°C and is rated for 500 mW average power dissipation, linearly derated to zero at +175 °C ambient when mounted on FR4 with specified copper pad geometry.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and test current for JANS1N4617-1/TR?
The JANS1N4617-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.4 V measured at a Zener test current (IZT) of 250 mA. This value is guaranteed under thermal equilibrium at +25 °C ambient and forms the basis for its regulation accuracy in precision reference applications.
Is JANS1N4617-1/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, the JANS1N4617-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 due to its metallurgically bonded structure and hermetic DO-35 glass package. It is qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, making it suitable for space and nuclear environments without supplemental shielding.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANS1N4617-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANS1N4617-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard. This format supports automated SMT placement and is standard for volume orders; consult factory for minimum order quantities and reel specifications.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for JANS1N4617-1/TR?
The JANS1N4617-1/TR has a maximum junction and storage temperature range of -65 to +175 °C. Its 500 mW power rating is linearly derated to zero at +175 °C, ensuring safe operation in high-temperature avionics and downhole instrumentation.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JANS1N4617-1/TR performance?
The JANS1N4617-1/TR has a temperature coefficient of -0.075 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by approximately 1.8 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. This predictable drift allows for accurate compensation in calibrated systems where thermal gradients are known.
