Product details
Overview
JANS1N4618D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 2.7 V, 1% tolerance, 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, with dynamic impedance of 1500 Ω at 250 mA and max reverse leakage of 0.5 µA at rated voltage.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4618D-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4618D-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4618D-1/TR application, or JANS1N4618D-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, temperature coefficient, noise density, power derating behavior, and military qualification status - all critical for precision voltage reference design in radiation-hardened or extended-temperature environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable junction characteristics under thermal cycling and mechanical stress, supporting operation from –65 °C to +175 °C.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –0.075 %/°C and low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at 2.7 V), making it suitable for low-noise analog references where stability across temperature and minimal broadband noise are required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4618D-1 | Same electrical specs but qualified only to JANTXV level; no radiation hardness data published | Lacks documented TID performance; unsuitable for space missions requiring radiation assurance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for full JANS screening and radiation test reports |
| 1N4618D-1/TR (commercial) | Identical Zener parameters and DO-35 package, but RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating and no MIL qualification | Not screened for reliability or environmental stress; limited to non-critical industrial prototypes | Choose for bench validation or non-mission-critical subsystems where MIL-PRF-19500 compliance is not mandated |
Compared with JANTXV1N4618D-1 and 1N4618D-1/TR, the JANS1N4618D-1/TR provides verified radiation hardness, full lot traceability, and extended temperature performance - essential for flight hardware where parameter drift or latent failure cannot be tolerated.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4618D-1/TR?
JANS1N4618D-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±1%, as indicated by the "D" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tight tolerance is maintained across the full operating temperature range and qualifies the device for precision reference applications where post-calibration is impractical.
Is JANS1N4618D-1/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4618D-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to JANS level under MIL-PRF-19500/435, which includes total ionizing dose (TID) testing and lot acceptance screening for space-grade reliability. The metallurgical bond and hermetic DO-35 package contribute directly to its radiation tolerance.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANS1N4618D-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated placement in high-volume manufacturing. JANS1N4618D-1/TR retains full JANS qualification and electrical specifications; only the packaging format differs from the bulk or ammo-pack versions.
What is the maximum Zener test current IZT for JANS1N4618D-1/TR?
The maximum Zener test current IZT for JANS1N4618D-1/TR is 250 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This current defines the operating point at which VZ, ZZT, and other key parameters are measured and guaranteed.
Can JANS1N4618D-1/TR be used in surface-mount designs?
No - JANS1N4618D-1/TR uses the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) through-hole package. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the 1N4618UR-1 in DO-213AA and 1PMT4618 in DO-216 packages, but those are commercial-grade and lack JANS qualification.
