Product details
Overview
JANS1N6116AUS/TR from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a hermetically sealed, military-grade silicon Zener diode rated for 15 V nominal breakdown voltage, 5% tolerance, 500 mW power dissipation, and operating temperature range of −65°C to +175°C; used in precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits in aerospace avionics power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANS1N6116AUS/TR datasheet, JANS1N6116AUS/TR pinout, JANS1N6116AUS/TR application, or JANS1N6116AUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, high-temperature stability, hermetic packaging compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/428, and radiation-hardened performance for space-qualified systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. It meets MIL-PRF-19500/428 Class H requirements for screening, including burn-in, thermal cycling, and lot acceptance testing.
Its Zener voltage exhibits low temperature coefficient (±0.0005%/°C typical) and minimal long-term drift (<0.5% after 1000 hrs at rated power), enabling stable reference generation in unregulated DC-DC converter feedback paths and analog sensor biasing networks.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANS1N6116AUS/TR?
The JANS1N6116AUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 5 mA test current per MIL-PRF-19500/428. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision reference and protection circuits across its full military temperature range.
Is JANS1N6116AUS/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANS1N6116AUS/TR is radiation hardened and qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose (TID) per MIL-STD-883 Test Method 1019. This makes JANS1N6116AUS/TR suitable for use in low-Earth orbit satellite power systems where cumulative radiation exposure is a critical design factor.
What package type does JANS1N6116AUS/TR use?
JANS1N6116AUS/TR uses a hermetically sealed DO-35 glass axial package with cathode band marking. This package meets MIL-STD-202 mechanical test requirements and provides long-term stability in high-humidity, vacuum, and thermal shock environments typical of aerospace deployments.
How does JANS1N6116AUS/TR differ from commercial 1N6116 variants?
JANS1N6116AUS/TR differs from commercial 1N6116 variants through MIL-PRF-19500/428 Class H screening, tighter 5% voltage tolerance, extended −65°C to +175°C operating range, and hermetic DO-35 packaging. These attributes make JANS1N6116AUS/TR appropriate for flight hardware where reliability and environmental resilience are mandatory.
