Product details
Overview
JANS1N4975CUS/TR from Microsemi is a hermetically sealed, voidless-glass surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 51 V ±2% (C suffix), dynamic impedance of 27 Ω at 25 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and regulation element in high-reliability military power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4975CUS/TR datasheet, JANS1N4975CUS/TR pinout, JANS1N4975CUS/TR application, or JANS1N4975CUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for mission-critical voltage stabilization where radiation hardness, ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and long-term parametric stability under thermal cycling are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This JANS1N4975CUS/TR belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N4954US–1N4996US series, featuring Category I internal metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal ensures zero moisture ingress and eliminates delamination risk under extreme thermal shock.
It operates with a forward voltage of 1.50 V at 1.0 A and exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C at IZT, enabling predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature-range analog references. Thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, supporting stable 5 W operation up to 140 °C end-cap temperature before linear derating to zero at 175 °C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4975CUS/TR | Same electrical specs and package; qualified to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS) | Lacks full JANS-level radiation hardness verification and extended life testing | Select when radiation tolerance is secondary to cost and lead time in ground-based military systems |
| 1N4975CUS/TR | Commercial-grade version; identical Zener voltage, impedance, and thermal specs but no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification | Not screened for high-reliability environmental stress; unsuitable for flight or nuclear environments | Use only in non-safety-critical industrial prototypes where full military qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with JANS1N4975CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4975CUS/TR offers reduced screening depth but retains identical thermal and electrical behavior for most ground-platform applications, while 1N4975CUS/TR provides identical performance at commercial reliability levels-neither is pin-compatible with axial-leaded variants due to differing package geometry and thermal path.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4975CUS/TR?
The JANS1N4975CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with ±2% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is specified at 25 °C and IZT = 25 mA, and remains stable across its full operating temperature range due to its Category I metallurgical bond and triple-layer passivation.
Does JANS1N4975CUS/TR require heatsinking in 5 W operation?
JANS1N4975CUS/TR is rated for 5 W dissipation at an end-cap temperature of 140 °C, with a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance of 7 °C/W. In typical PCB layouts with adequate copper area, no external heatsink is required-but thermal derating must be applied linearly above 140 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Is JANS1N4975CUS/TR radiation-hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4975CUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with verified tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) exceeding 100 krad(Si). This capability stems from its voidless-glass hermetic seal and internal metallurgical structure, making it suitable for low-Earth orbit and tactical nuclear environments.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANS1N4975CUS/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JANS1N4975CUS/TR is 2 μA at VR = 40.8 V and 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage is critical for maintaining accuracy in high-impedance reference circuits and is preserved across temperature due to triple-layer passivation and hermetic sealing.
Can JANS1N4975CUS/TR replace axial-leaded 1N4975 in existing designs?
No-JANS1N4975CUS/TR uses a surface-mount "E" (D-5B) glass package with tungsten slugs and end-cap terminations, whereas axial-leaded 1N4975 uses a DO-41 package with wire leads. The thermal path, mounting method, and PCB footprint differ fundamentally; redesign is required for substitution.
