Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4118C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 27.0 V ±2% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability applications. It delivers stable voltage regulation at 250 mA test current with 150 Ω dynamic impedance, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4118C-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4118C-1 pinout, JANTX1N4118C-1 application, or JANTX1N4118C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), radiation hardness, RoHS compliance status, and MIL-qualified reliability level.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt voltage regulator in feedback loops and reference circuits where stable DC biasing under wide current and temperature variation is required. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures long-term parameter stability, while its hermetically sealed DO-35 glass package provides immunity to moisture and contaminants.
The JANTX1N4118C-1 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-diode references. Its low 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 27 V supports use in low-noise analog references and precision instrumentation front-ends.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4118US-1 | Same 27.0 V ±2% Zener voltage, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair | Select when automated assembly, space-constrained layouts, or vibration resistance are priorities |
| JANS1N4118C-1 | Identical electrical specs and package, but qualified to JANS (highest MIL reliability level) with additional screening | Required for spaceflight, nuclear, or other Class S applications demanding zero-defect assurance | Select only when JANS-level documentation, lot traceability, and extended burn-in are contractually mandated |
Compared with JANTX1N4118C-1, the 1N4118US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a compact SMT form factor, while JANS1N4118C-1 adds enhanced screening for ultra-high-reliability deployment-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages or qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4118C-1?
JANTX1N4118C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27.0 V with a ±2% tolerance, meaning the actual regulation voltage falls between 26.46 V and 27.54 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C. This tighter tolerance than standard 5% Zeners enables higher-accuracy reference designs without external trimming.
Is JANTX1N4118C-1 RoHS compliant?
JANTX1N4118C-1 is not RoHS compliant; the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, which applies only to commercial-grade versions. As a JANTX-qualified military part, JANTX1N4118C-1 uses tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and does not meet EU RoHS Directive requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4118C-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4118C-1 is 10 nA at 21.6 V (80% of VZ). This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision reference dividers where leakage-induced voltage drop must be negligible.
Can JANTX1N4118C-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-JANTX1N4118C-1 uses a DO-35 axial-leaded glass package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, consider the 1N4118US-1 in DO-213AA package, which shares identical electrical specifications but requires different footprint and reflow profile.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4118C-1?
JANTX1N4118C-1 has a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load and must be used-not RθJA-when heatsinking via leads in high-power or high-temperature applications.
