Product details
Overview
JANS1N4993CUS/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 300 V ±1% (C-suffix), dynamic impedance of 950 Ω at 4 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range from –65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in radiation-hardened military power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N4993CUS/TR datasheet, JANS1N4993CUS/TR pinout, JANS1N4993CUS/TR application, or JANS1N4993CUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for high-reliability, high-temperature, radiation-tolerant voltage regulation where failure is not acceptable - especially in aerospace power supplies, missile guidance analog front-ends, and nuclear instrumentation signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This JANS1N4993CUS/TR belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N4954US–1N4996US family and uses Category I internal metallurgical bonds with triple-layer passivation. Its voidless-glass construction ensures hermetic sealing without internal voids, critical for long-term stability under thermal cycling and vacuum environments.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.120 %/°C at 4 mA, reverse leakage ≤2 μA at 228 V, and surge capability of 2150 A (8.3 ms square wave). It is nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and inherently radiation-hard per MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 300 V ±1% at 4 mA - enables precise 300 V rail clamping or reference generation with tight tolerance. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports sustained operation in high-temperature avionics enclosures without derating until 175 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 950 Ω @ IZT = 4 mA - ensures stable regulation under moderate load transients in feedback loops. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 228 V - guarantees minimal parasitic current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.120 %/°C @ IZT = 4 mA - quantifies predictable positive drift for thermal compensation design. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 2150 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients in vehicle-mounted power systems. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - validated for operation in space-grade cryogenic and engine-bay thermal environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4993CUS/TR | Same electrical specs and package, but screened to JANTXV level (lower screening rigor than JANS). | Limited to non-flight-critical subsystems where full JANS Class S screening is not mandated. | Select when cost and lead time constraints outweigh need for full space-qualified screening. |
| 1N4993CUS/TR | Commercial-grade version; lacks MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, radiation hardness validation, and extended temperature screening. | Suitable only for ground-based industrial equipment with ambient ≤85 °C and no radiation exposure. | Use only in non-mission-critical prototypes or commercial derivatives where military specs are waived. |
Compared with JANS1N4993CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4993CUS/TR offers identical performance with reduced screening overhead, while 1N4993CUS/TR omits radiation tolerance, hermeticity verification, and extreme-temperature validation - making it unsuitable for deployed aerospace or defense hardware.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N4993CUS/TR?
JANS1N4993CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 300 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix per Microsemi's standard coding. This tolerance is verified at 4 mA test current and 25 °C, and remains stable across the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating range due to hermetic construction and Category I bonding.
Is JANS1N4993CUS/TR radiation-hardened?
Yes, JANS1N4993CUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It exhibits no functional degradation or parametric shift after exposure to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose, making it suitable for satellite and nuclear instrumentation applications where radiation effects must be mitigated without shielding.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANS1N4993CUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANS1N4993CUS/TR is 1.0 mA, derived from its 5 W power rating and 300 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 5 W / 300 V ≈ 16.7 mA). However, the datasheet specifies IZM = 1.0 mA at 25 °C, reflecting conservative derating for sustained operation at elevated temperatures up to +175 °C.
Does JANS1N4993CUS/TR require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - JANS1N4993CUS/TR uses the "E" (D-5B) surface-mount package with center adhesive pad option. PCB land pattern must match Microsemi's recommended pad layout (SD44A.pdf, Page 4), including optional 0.080″ center contact for epoxy anchoring. Thermal relief to copper planes is recommended to manage 5 W dissipation at high ambient temperatures.
How does the voidless-glass construction of JANS1N4993CUS/TR improve reliability?
The voidless-glass construction of JANS1N4993CUS/TR eliminates internal micro-voids that could expand under thermal cycling or vacuum, preventing hermetic seal failure. Combined with tungsten slugs and Category I metallurgical bonds, it achieves >1000 thermal cycles between –65 °C and +175 °C without parameter drift or leakage increase - a key requirement for flight-qualified components.
