Product details
Overview
JANS1N4620C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 3.3 V, 2% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense systems requiring stable voltage regulation under wide temperature and current variation.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4620C-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4620C-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4620C-1/TR application, or JANS1N4620C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), low dynamic impedance (1650 Ω at 250 mA), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation hardness, and hermetic DO-35 packaging for harsh-environment deployment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with cathode-banded polarity, designed for reverse-bias breakdown operation where the banded end is held positive relative to the anode. It delivers stable 3.3 V regulation across 250 mA test current and supports full-rated power up to +50 °C before linear derating to zero at +175 °C junction temperature.
Its internal metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length), while its minimal capacitance (<1.5 pF typical at 3.3 V) and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 support use in sensitive analog and timing reference circuits.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4620C-1 | Same 3.3 V ±2%, DO-35, but qualified only to JANTXV level (less rigorous screening than JANS). | Approved for high-reliability ground-based radar, not spaceflight or nuclear-hardened systems. | Select when full JANS screening is not required and cost sensitivity is higher. |
| 1N4620C-1/TR | Commercial-grade version: same electrical specs, RoHS-compliant plating, no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification. | Intended for industrial test equipment or non-safety-critical embedded systems. | Choose for prototyping or commercial production where radiation hardness and extended temp range are not mandatory. |

JANS1N4620C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a tolerance of ±2%, measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet and applies across the full JANS-qualified operating temperature range.
Is JANS1N4620C-1/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4620C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, a documented characteristic of its metallurgically bonded structure and DO-35 hermetic glass package. This makes JANS1N4620C-1/TR suitable for low-Earth orbit satellite power regulation where total ionizing dose (TID) resistance is required.
What is the maximum power dissipation and derating behavior of JANS1N4620C-1/TR?
JANS1N4620C-1/TR is rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature, with linear derating beginning at +50 °C and reaching zero at +175 °C. This derating curve is defined in the Maximum Ratings table and Figure 2 of the official datasheet, ensuring predictable thermal performance in high-temp environments.
Does JANS1N4620C-1/TR have low noise characteristics suitable for precision references?
Yes, JANS1N4620C-1/TR exhibits a maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz at 250 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low-noise performance is validated using a 1 kHz–3 kHz bandpass filter and directly supports use in precision analog references for high-resolution data converters and sensor signal chains.
What packaging and marking does JANS1N4620C-1/TR use?
JANS1N4620C-1/TR uses a hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass package with cathode identified by a single black band. The part is marked with its full JEDEC type number, and the "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, as confirmed in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the datasheet.
