Product details
Overview
JANS1N4969CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage of 30 V at 40 mA test current, ±1% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum dynamic impedance of 8 Ω at IZT - used in precision voltage regulation for avionics power conditioning and radiation-hardened instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4969CUS/TR datasheet, JANS1N4969CUS/TR pinout, JANS1N4969CUS/TR application, or JANS1N4969CUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless-glass package, -65°C to +175°C operating temperature range, Category III metallurgical bond, MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, and 2.5 V maximum voltage regulation (ΔVZ) across 10–50% of IZM.
Technical Context
This JANS1N4969CUS/TR is part of Microsemi's high-reliability Zener series qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 under JANS level, featuring voidless hermetic glass construction with internal Category III metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation. It operates as a shunt voltage regulator with stable breakdown behavior over wide current (10–50% IZM) and temperature (-65°C to +175°C) ranges.
The device exhibits 8 Ω dynamic impedance at 40 mA, 2.5 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ), and 2.5 mA maximum reverse leakage at 22.8 V - confirming tight regulation performance suitable for critical biasing and reference applications where parametric drift must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 30 V ±1% at 40 mA - enables precise 30 V reference generation with minimal calibration burden. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125°C - supports sustained regulation in high-temperature environments without derating below 125°C. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | 8 Ω @ IZT - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation under varying load currents. |
| Voltage Regulation ΔVZ | 2.5 V max between 10% and 50% of IZM - guarantees predictable voltage deviation across operational current range. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 2 μA max at VR = 22.8 V - minimizes parasitic current draw in high-impedance sensing circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +175°C - validated for extended-range operation in aerospace, downhole, and defense systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | 10°C/W junction-to-end-cap - informs thermal design for PCB pad layout and heatsinking requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard glass case with tungsten slugs and copper end caps (Sn/Pb finish); "E" package (also designated D-5B), surface-mount, polarity indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during regulation; requires proper thermal anchoring to PCB copper for heat dissipation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage rail; cathode band identifies this terminal for correct orientation during placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS); 100% burn-in and lot acceptance testing omitted. | Suitable for high-reliability non-space programs where full JANS screening is not mandated by system spec. | Select JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR when cost sensitivity outweighs need for full MIL-PRF-19500/356 JANS compliance. |
| 1N4969CUS/TR | No military qualification; commercial-grade screening, no radiation hardness data, and unspecified metallurgical bond category. | Applicable only in benign-environment industrial systems with no temperature, radiation, or lifetime requirements. | Choose 1N4969CUS/TR only for prototyping or non-critical commercial designs where MIL-spec is unnecessary. |
Compared with JANS1N4969CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR offers identical regulation performance at reduced cost and screening depth, while 1N4969CUS/TR lacks military qualification, radiation tolerance, and guaranteed Category III bonding - making it unsuitable for aerospace or defense deployments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANS1N4969CUS/TR?
JANS1N4969CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix per Microsemi's standard coding. This tolerance is verified at 25°C and maintained across the full -65°C to +175°C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening requirements.
Is JANS1N4969CUS/TR qualified for space applications?
JANS1N4969CUS/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 JANS level and features inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050. While not QML-V certified, its Category III metallurgical bond, voidless-glass construction, and 100 krad(Si) TID tolerance make it widely accepted in LEO and MEO satellite subsystems.
What is the maximum surge current rating for JANS1N4969CUS/TR?
JANS1N4969CUS/TR supports a nonrepetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 5.5 A for an 8.3 ms square-wave pulse, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design and is validated per MIL-STD-750 Method 3013.
Does JANS1N4969CUS/TR require derating above 125°C?
Yes - JANS1N4969CUS/TR is rated for 5 W at TEC = 125°C and must be linearly derated to zero at 175°C. Derating slope is 0.05 W/°C above 125°C, based on its 10°C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance and MIL-PRF-19500/356 thermal validation limits.
How is polarity identified on JANS1N4969CUS/TR?
JANS1N4969CUS/TR uses a cathode band to indicate polarity, consistent with JEDEC standard marking for Zener diodes. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node in shunt regulation configurations.
