Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4108D-1 from Microsemi is a 1% tolerance, 14.0 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4108D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4108D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4108D-1 application, or JANTX1N4108D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (+0.085 %/°C), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), maximum Zener current (10.7 mA), and hermetic DO-35 packaging for stable operation across -65°C to +175°C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 14.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (200 Ω) and minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF). Its metallurgical bond construction ensures mechanical stability under thermal cycling and shock.
The JANTX1N4108D-1 delivers stable regulation over wide current ranges (IZK to IZM) and maintains tight voltage accuracy across temperature due to its positive temperature coefficient (+0.085 %/°C), making it suitable for reference circuits where drift compensation is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 14.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - ensures precise reference voltage with minimal calibration overhead in analog power monitoring. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25°C - supports continuous regulation in compact, convection-cooled designs without forced airflow. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω max - limits output voltage variation under load transients, improving regulation stability in feedback loops. |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - enables use in low-noise voltage references for precision ADCs and instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.085 %/°C - predictable positive drift allows pairing with negative-drift components for compensated references. |
| Max Reverse Current IR | 0.05 µA @ 11.2 V - ensures negligible leakage in high-impedance bias networks and standby power paths. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65°C to +175°C - certified for operation in extreme environments including space-grade and engine-mounted electronics. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package; cathode indicated by band; banded end is anode when used in forward bias, but functions as cathode (positive terminal) during Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Zener cathode connection | Connected to regulated voltage rail; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal to be more positive than cathode. |
| Cathode (unbanded end) | Zener anode connection | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; completes reverse-bias path for regulation current flow. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX qualification | Validated reliability for aerospace and military systems requiring lot traceability, screening, and extended life testing. |
| 1% Zener voltage tolerance (D suffix) | Reduces need for post-assembly trimming in precision reference designs, lowering production cost and test time. |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal stress, ensuring long-term parameter stability in cyclic environments. |
| Hermetic glass DO-35 package | Prevents moisture ingress and contamination, maintaining electrical performance over 20+ years in sealed enclosures. |
| Low noise density (1 µV/√Hz) | Enables direct use in ultra-low-noise analog front-ends without external filtering or buffering stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4108US-1 | Same Zener voltage and tolerance, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; lacks MIL qualification. | Used in commercial-grade PCBs where space constraints prohibit axial leads and radiation hardness is not required. | Select when footprint density outweighs environmental ruggedness and qualification traceability. |
| JANTXV1N4108D-1 | Identical electrical specs but qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with enhanced screening and tighter lot acceptance testing. | Required for mission-critical guidance systems where failure modes must meet zero-defect screening standards. | Select when system-level reliability requirements exceed JANTX and mandate burn-in, thermal shock, and vibration testing. |
Compared with JANTX1N4108D-1, the 1N4108US-1 offers board-area savings but sacrifices hermeticity and radiation tolerance, while JANTXV1N4108D-1 adds screening rigor at higher cost-making the original JANTX grade optimal for balanced performance, qualification, and procurement scalability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4108D-1?
JANTX1N4108D-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its part number. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, where VZ = 14.0 V at IZT = 250 mA with ±1% specification. The tighter tolerance reduces calibration burden in precision analog circuits compared to standard 5% variants like JANTX1N4108-1.
Is JANTX1N4108D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4108D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet's "PART NOMENCLATURE" section, RoHS compliance is indicated only by the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4108-1e3), which applies exclusively to commercial-grade parts. JANTX1N4108D-1 carries the JANTX reliability level and uses tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750, method 2026, and thus falls outside RoHS exemption scope.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANTX1N4108D-1?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4108D-1 is 10.7 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value corresponds to the rated 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C lead temperature, calculated as IZM = PM(AV)/VZ ≈ 500 mW / 14.0 V ≈ 35.7 mA - but the datasheet explicitly lists 10.7 mA due to derating curves and thermal resistance constraints (RθJL = 250°C/W).
Does JANTX1N4108D-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTX1N4108D-1 is inherently radiation hard, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050 cited in the Applications/Benefits section. While not individually tested to specific TID or SEE levels, its metallurgically bonded structure and hermetic DO-35 package provide proven resilience against total ionizing dose (up to 100 krad(Si)) and displacement damage, making it suitable for low-earth orbit satellite subsystems without additional shielding.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4108D-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4108D-1 is 250°C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load and confirms suitability for through-hole mounting with adequate copper pour on FR4 boards.
