Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4109-1/TR from Microsemi is a 15.0 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4109-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4109-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4109-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4109-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability over temperature, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), dynamic impedance (100 Ω at 250 mA), and hermetic DO-35 packaging for radiation-hardened environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with cathode-banded polarity, requiring reverse bias for Zener conduction. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable junction characteristics across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range and supports MIL-STD-750 compliant solderability.
It delivers regulated output at 15.0 V with ±5% tolerance at IZT = 250 mA, exhibits αVZ = +0.085 %/°C temperature coefficient, and maintains low capacitance (<1.5 pF typical) per Figure 3 - critical for low-noise analog reference and timing circuits.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 15.0 V ±5% at 250 mA test current - defines nominal regulation point under standard thermal conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 100 Ω at 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz at 250 mA - enables use in low-noise voltage references and precision analog circuits |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.085 %/°C - quantifies drift magnitude over operating temperature range |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 50 nA max at 12.0 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environmental conditions without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4109US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires SMT reflow process; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical mounting | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is used |
| JAN1N4109-1 | Identical electrical and mechanical specs but qualified only to JAN level (less stringent screening than JANTX) | Lacks JANTX-level burn-in and parametric testing; not approved for mission-critical avionics | Select for cost-sensitive commercial or non-safety-critical industrial use |
Compared with JANTX1N4109-1/TR, the 1N4109US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a compact SMT form factor, while the JAN1N4109-1 provides baseline functionality at lower qualification cost - enabling trade-offs between reliability assurance, mechanical integration, and program budget.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4109-1/TR?
JANTX1N4109-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 15.0 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature per MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements. This tolerance reflects the standard JEDEC specification for the 1N4099–1N4135 family and applies to all JANTX-level variants including JANTX1N4109-1/TR.
Is JANTX1N4109-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4109-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS qualified devices like JANTX1N4109-1/TR. The JANTX1N4109-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4109-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4109-1/TR is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 15.0 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2, where IZM is listed as 40 mA for all 1N4108-1 through 1N4111-1 variants.
Does JANTX1N4109-1/TR have a specified noise density?
Yes, JANTX1N4109-1/TR has a maximum noise density of 1 µV/√Hz at 250 mA test current, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This value falls within the general trend for 14–17 V Zeners in the series and is verified via the measurement circuit in Figure 1.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANTX1N4109-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANTX1N4109-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. As noted on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2, this option is available for all variants in the series and requires consultation with the factory for minimum order quantities.
