Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4099-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 6.8 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation. It delivers 250 mA test current, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 5.2 mA maximum Zener current, and +0.060 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4099-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4099-1 pinout, JANTX1N4099-1 application, or JANTX1N4099-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability qualification, low-noise operation (40 µV/√Hz), axial-leaded DO-35 mounting, and stable regulation across -65°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode band indicating polarity, requiring banded end positive relative to anode for regulation. Its metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and thermal stability under shock/vibration, supporting operation up to 175°C junction temperature with 250°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.
Designed for precision reference and regulation in harsh environments, it exhibits minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF at 0 V), low leakage (≤1.0 µA at VR = 5.2 V), and noise density tightly specified at 40 µV/√Hz - critical for analog signal conditioning and low-noise power supply feedback paths.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4099US (Microchip) | Same 6.8 V rating and DO-35 package but commercial-grade only; no MIL qualification; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. | Lacks JANTX-level screening, burn-in, and radiation hardness data - unsuitable for flight hardware or nuclear-grade systems. | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial controls where military reliability is not mandated. |
| CMZ5339B (Central Semiconductor) | 6.8 V, 5 W rating in DO-204AL (DO-41); higher power, larger footprint; 200 Ω Zzt at 1.0 A, not 250 mA. | Designed for high-current regulation; thermal mass and layout incompatible with space-constrained JANTX1N4099-1 designs. | Use only when ≥3 W dissipation is required and PCB real estate allows DO-41 footprint. |
Compared with 1N4099US and CMZ5339B, JANTX1N4099-1 uniquely combines military-grade reliability, low-noise operation, and compact DO-35 form factor - making it irreplaceable for size- and mission-critical analog references where qualification evidence and parameter stability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4099-1?
JANTX1N4099-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a ±5% tolerance, as defined by its JAN/JANTX nomenclature and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This tolerance applies at 25°C with 250 mA test current and reflects the standard JEDEC specification for this part number.
Is JANTX1N4099-1 RoHS compliant?
JANTX1N4099-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade variants, not for JANTX-level qualified parts like JANTX1N4099-1. The JANTX1N4099-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4099-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4099-1 is 1.0 µA at VR = 5.2 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at 25°C and ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference networks where leakage could induce offset errors.
Can JANTX1N4099-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - JANTX1N4099-1 is exclusively packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case. Surface-mount equivalents such as 1N4099UR-1 (DO-213AA) or 1PMT4099 (DO-216) exist but are distinct orderable parts with different qualifications and thermal profiles; JANTX1N4099-1 itself is not SMT-compatible.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4099-1?
JANTX1N4099-1 has a thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 250°C/W when mounted with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load and verifying safe operation within the -65°C to +175°C range.
