Product details
Overview
JANS1N4621-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 3.6 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. It delivers 3.6 V regulation at 250 mA test current, with 1% voltage tolerance, 1700 Ω dynamic impedance, and -0.065 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4621-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4621-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4621-1/TR application, or JANS1N4621-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level radiation hardness, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), metallurgically bonded construction, and axial-leaded DO-35 package suitable for hermetic through-hole mounting in harsh-environment power regulation circuits.
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 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical integrity under thermal cycling and shock, critical for space-grade deployments.
The JANS1N4621-1/TR exhibits low capacitance (typical <2 pF at 0 V, per Figure 3), minimal leakage (≤2.0 µA at 2.0 V VR), and tightly controlled temperature coefficient (-0.065 %/°C), enabling use in low-drift analog references and bias networks where parametric stability is essential.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4621-1 | Same electrical specs; qualified to JANTXV (not JANS) per MIL-PRF-19500/435; no radiation hardness assurance | Suitable for high-reliability ground-based military systems but not spaceflight | Select when radiation tolerance is not required and cost sensitivity favors JANTXV screening |
| 1N4621US-1 | Same Zener voltage and DO-35 package; commercial-grade only, no MIL qualification; RoHS compliant (e3) | Applicable for industrial test equipment or non-safety-critical avionics prototypes | Select for rapid prototyping or cost-sensitive production where MIL spec is unnecessary |
Compared with JANS1N4621-1/TR, JANTXV1N4621-1 offers identical regulation performance but lacks JANS-level radiation hardening and extended screening, while 1N4621US-1 trades all military qualifications for RoHS compliance and lower unit cost-making it viable only in benign environments.
