Product details
Overview
JANS1N4621D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 3.6 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 voltage regulation. It delivers stable reference voltage at 250 mA test current with 1700 Ω dynamic impedance and -0.065 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4621D-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4621D-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4621D-1/TR application, or JANS1N4621D-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability qualification, 1% Zener voltage tolerance, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), hermetic DO-35 packaging, and radiation-hardened performance for space-qualified systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical stability under thermal cycling and shock, critical for MIL-qualified applications.
The JANS1N4621D-1/TR exhibits a negative temperature coefficient (-0.065 %/°C), enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits, and maintains ≤1 µV/√Hz noise density at its 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage - significantly lower than higher-voltage variants in the same family.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4621D-1 | Same electrical specs; qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS) | Suitable for high-reliability ground systems but not Class S space flight | Select when full JANS screening is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized |
| 1N4621DUR-1 | Same Zener voltage/tolerance; DO-213AA surface-mount package instead of DO-35 | Enables automated assembly and board space reduction, but lacks JANS qualification | Select for commercial or industrial PCBs where MIL-spec is not mandated |
Compared with JANTXV1N4621D-1 and 1N4621DUR-1, the JANS1N4621D-1/TR offers the highest assurance of parametric stability under radiation, thermal cycling, and long-term storage - essential for flight-critical subsystems where rework is impossible.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4621D-1/TR?
JANS1N4621D-1/TR has a ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, specified per the "D" suffix in its nomenclature. This tight tolerance is maintained across its qualified operating temperature range (-65 °C to +175 °C) and supports high-accuracy reference design without trimming. The device is tested at 250 mA Zener current (IZT) per MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements.
Is JANS1N4621D-1/TR radiation-hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4621D-1/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded structure and glass DO-35 package provide resistance to total ionizing dose (TID), making it suitable for low-Earth orbit (LEO) and medium-Earth orbit (MEO) satellite applications without additional shielding or derating.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANS1N4621D-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JANS1N4621D-1/TR is supplied in reels optimized for high-volume manufacturing, with full traceability and MIL-qualified lot documentation retained for each reel. The underlying device remains identical to the bulk version in all electrical and reliability characteristics.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANS1N4621D-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANS1N4621D-1/TR is 83.0 mA at 25 °C, calculated from its 500 mW power rating and 3.6 V nominal Zener voltage. Derating begins linearly at 50 °C case temperature and reaches zero at 175 °C, per Figure 2 in the official datasheet T4-LDS-0245-2.
How is polarity marked on JANS1N4621D-1/TR?
JANS1N4621D-1/TR uses a single black cathode band on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode and must be held positive relative to the anode for proper Zener regulation. This marking complies with JEDEC standards and is verified during MIL-PRF-19500/435 visual inspection screening.
