Product details
Overview
JANS1N4623-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 4.3 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass axial-leaded package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. It delivers 4.3 V regulation at 250 mA test current, with 1% tolerance (D suffix), 1600 Ω dynamic impedance, and 2.0 µA max reverse leakage at 3.5 V.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4623-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4623-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4623-1/TR application, or JANS1N4623-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its JANS-level radiation hardness, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), metallurgically bonded construction, and stable temperature coefficient (–0.050 %/°C) across –65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage reference in feedback loops and bias networks, leveraging its tightly controlled 4.3 V Zener voltage and low dynamic impedance (1600 Ω at IZT = 250 mA) to maintain regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and long-term stability in harsh environments.
The JANS1N4623-1/TR exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of –0.050 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog circuits. Its hermetically sealed DO-35 package supports operation up to +175 °C junction temperature and meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity requirements (Method 1020).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4623US-1 | Same electrical specs, but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mounting | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is required |
| JANTXV1N4623-1 | Identical Zener parameters, but qualified only to JANTXV level (not JANS); lower radiation tolerance margin | Approved for airborne avionics but not space-grade missions requiring full JANS screening | Select for cost-sensitive military platforms where full JANS testing is not mandated |
Compared with JANS1N4623-1/TR, the 1N4623US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices mechanical ruggedness and hand-solderability, while the JANTXV1N4623-1 reduces procurement cost and lead time at the expense of guaranteed radiation hardness and extended temperature validation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4623-1/TR?
JANS1N4623-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature per MIL-PRF-19500/435. This tight tolerance is verified during JANS-level screening and ensures consistent regulation across production lots used in flight-critical systems.
Does JANS1N4623-1/TR require derating above 25 °C ambient?
Yes, JANS1N4623-1/TR must be linearly derated from 500 mW starting at 25 °C ambient temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at +175 °C. Derating follows the curve in Figure 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2, ensuring safe operation under thermal stress in sealed enclosures or high-density assemblies.
Is JANS1N4623-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANS1N4623-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4623-1e3). JANS-level parts retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 to ensure solder joint reliability under thermal cycling and mechanical shock.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANS1N4623-1/TR?
JANS1N4623-1/TR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 2.0 µA at VR = 3.5 V, measured at 25 °C. This low leakage supports ultra-low-power bias networks in battery-operated telemetry modules and ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference dividers.
How is polarity marked on JANS1N4623-1/TR?
JANS1N4623-1/TR uses a cathode band painted on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode and must be held positive relative to the anode to achieve Zener regulation. This marking complies with JEDEC DO-35 standards and is visible under standard optical inspection.
