Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4118-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 27.0 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation. It delivers 20.5 mA maximum Zener current at 27 V with 150 Ω dynamic impedance and +0.090 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4118-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4118-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4118-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4118-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include its military-grade reliability qualification, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), hermetic glass packaging, and precise 27 V regulation under variable load and temperature conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable junction characteristics across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range and supports radiation-hardened performance per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
It exhibits minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF at 27 V), low leakage (<0.01 µA at 20.5 V), and thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead - enabling stable regulation in high-temp aerospace and defense power supply rails without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 27.0 V ±5% at 250 mA test current - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load in lead-mounted configuration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4118US-1 | Same 27 V Zener voltage and JANTX qualification, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package | Requires SMT reflow process; no axial through-hole mounting option | Select when board space constraints mandate surface-mount integration without lead-forming |
| JAN1N4118-1 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN (not JANTX) reliability level | Lacks extended screening per MIL-PRF-19500/435 Table IV; not approved for mission-critical flight hardware | Select for cost-sensitive ground-test or non-flight prototypes where full JANTX screening is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4118-1/TR?
JANTX1N4118-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 27.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under thermal equilibrium at 25 °C with 250 mA test current.
Is JANTX1N4118-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4118-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, which is available only on commercial-grade versions - JANTX-level parts retain tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and are exempt from RoHS restrictions.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANTX1N4118-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4118-1/TR is 40 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value corresponds to the current at which the device dissipates its rated 500 mW at 27 V, assuming ideal thermal conditions at 25 °C.
Does JANTX1N4118-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTX1N4118-1/TR is inherently radiation hard as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. The metallurgically bonded glass construction and hermetic sealing provide tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID), making it suitable for satellite and nuclear instrumentation applications without additional shielding or qualification testing.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANTX1N4118-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANTX1N4118-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, as documented on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is the standard shipping configuration for volume orders of this MIL-qualified Zener diode.
