Product details
Overview
JANS1N4618C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 2.7 V, 500 mW, 2% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense voltage regulation. It delivers stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature in precision analog power supplies and radiation-hardened systems.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4618C-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4618C-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4618C-1/TR application, or JANS1N4618C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage (2.7 V), tolerance (±2%), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), max reverse current (0.5 µA @ VR), and JANS-level qualification for extended temperature (-65°C to +175°C) and radiation hardness.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250°C/W) and minimal capacitance (<1 pF typical at 2.7 V), enabling stable regulation across wide current ranges (IZT = 250 mA) and temperatures.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of -0.075%/°C and dynamic impedance ZZT = 1500 Ω at IZT, supporting low-noise performance critical in precision instrumentation and space-grade analog circuits where long-term stability and ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4618C-1 | Same electrical specs but qualified only to JANTXV level; lacks full JANS screening (e.g., burn-in, lot acceptance tests) | Suitable for high-reliability ground systems but not certified for spaceflight or nuclear environments | Select JANS1N4618C-1/TR when mission-critical radiation hardness and full MIL-PRF-19500/435 compliance are mandatory |
| 1N4618C-1/TR (commercial) | Identical Zener parameters and DO-35 package, but unqualified; RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix) available | Applicable only in non-military commercial designs with no environmental or reliability requirements | Choose JANS1N4618C-1/TR when extended temperature range, hermeticity, and traceable lot history are required |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JANS1N4618C-1/TR?
JANS1N4618C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V at 250 mA test current with a tight ±2% tolerance (denoted by 'C' in the part number). This specification is guaranteed across the full -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range and is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening requirements for JANS devices.
Is JANS1N4618C-1/TR radiation-hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4618C-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction provides immunity to total ionizing dose (TID) effects without requiring additional shielding or derating - a key qualification for satellite and nuclear instrumentation use of JANS1N4618C-1/TR.
What does the 'TR' suffix mean in JANS1N4618C-1/TR?
'TR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated placement in high-volume manufacturing. JANS1N4618C-1/TR is supplied in reels with standard orientation (cathode band facing consistent direction), and the tape meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements per method 2026.
Can JANS1N4618C-1/TR replace commercial 1N4618C-1/TR in existing designs?
JANS1N4618C-1/TR shares identical electrical parameters and DO-35 mechanical form factor with commercial 1N4618C-1/TR, but adds JANS-level screening, extended temperature rating, and hermetic sealing. Replacement is electrically valid but requires requalification for radiation, thermal, and reliability performance in mission-critical systems using JANS1N4618C-1/TR.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANS1N4618C-1/TR?
JANS1N4618C-1/TR has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.5 µA at rated reverse voltage (VR), measured per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test conditions. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power bias networks and extends battery life in portable radiation detection equipment using JANS1N4618C-1/TR.
