Product details
Overview
JANS1N4623C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 4.3 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANS level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications. It features 2% Zener voltage tolerance, 1600 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4623C-1/TR datasheet, JANS1N4623C-1/TR pinout, JANS1N4623C-1/TR application, or JANS1N4623C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, radiation hardness, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and military qualification level - all critical for precision voltage reference and regulation in harsh-environment systems.
Technical Context
This device is a metallurgically bonded, hermetically sealed axial-leaded Zener diode designed for stable voltage regulation under wide current and temperature variations. Its internal bond structure ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz at 4.3 V) and inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
It operates with cathode-banded polarity and requires reverse-bias configuration (banded end positive) for Zener regulation. The DO-35 package supports flexible through-hole mounting and meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 4.3 V ±2% at 250 mA - enables precise low-voltage reference in analog power rails and sensor biasing circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C lead temperature - supports continuous regulation in compact, conduction-cooled designs. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1600 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients. |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - critical for low-noise analog references in instrumentation and telemetry receivers. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | –0.050 %/°C - ensures predictable voltage drift over extended temperature ranges in avionics. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - validated for operation in space-grade and engine-mounted electronics. |
| Thermal Resistance RθJL | 250 °C/W (3/8″ lead length) - informs heatsinking requirements for sustained power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4623C-1 | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level (not JANS); lacks Class S screening and radiation test documentation. | Suitable for high-reliability ground-based systems where space qualification is not mandated. | Select JANTXV1N4623C-1 only if JANS-level radiation hardness and extended life testing are unnecessary. |
| 1N4623C-1/TR | Commercial-grade version; RoHS-compliant (e3 suffix), no military qualification, max junction temp +150 °C. | Applicable in industrial controls or test equipment where cost and RoHS compliance outweigh radiation or extreme temp needs. | Choose 1N4623C-1/TR for non-military production where MIL-spec screening adds unnecessary cost and lead time. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4623C-1 and 1N4623C-1/TR, the JANS1N4623C-1/TR delivers verified space-level radiation tolerance, extended temperature capability (+175 °C), and full Class S screening - making it the sole option for mission-critical aerospace voltage reference where failure is not acceptable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JANS1N4623C-1/TR?
JANS1N4623C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V with a ±2% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, and applies across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is JANS1N4623C-1/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4623C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with no degradation observed up to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose. Its metallurgical bond and hermetic DO-35 package contribute to this performance, and radiation test data is included in the JANS qualification report.
What does the "C" in JANS1N4623C-1/TR indicate?
The "C" in JANS1N4623C-1/TR denotes 2% Zener voltage tolerance, per the Part Nomenclature section on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. It is distinct from "D" (1%) and blank (5%), and applies specifically to the JANS-level variant of the 1N4623-1 device.
What is the maximum power dissipation and derating behavior of JANS1N4623C-1/TR?
JANS1N4623C-1/TR has a rated average power dissipation of 500 mW at 25 °C lead temperature. Per Figure 2 and Note 2 on page 4, it linearly derates to zero at 175 °C junction temperature - meaning usable power drops to ~375 mW at 50 °C lead temperature.
Does JANS1N4623C-1/TR have low-noise performance suitable for precision analog circuits?
Yes, JANS1N4623C-1/TR exhibits a noise density of 1 µV/√Hz at 4.3 V and 250 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is confirmed in Figure 1 and referenced in the FEATURES section, making it suitable for low-noise reference applications such as telemetry receiver biasing and ADC reference staging.
