Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4118C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 27 V, ±2% tolerance, 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 power conditioning and precision reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4118C-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4118C-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4118C-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4118C-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, noise density, and military qualification status required for radiation-hardened analog design and legacy system sustainment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator with cathode-banded polarity, designed for stable reverse-bias breakdown across wide current (250 mA test point) and temperature (–65 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250 °C/W) and minimal capacitance per Figure 3.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.090 %/°C and maximum noise density of 1 μV/√Hz at 27 V, supporting low-noise reference applications where stability under thermal stress and ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 27.0 V ±2% at IZT = 250 mA - precise regulation point for mid-range analog references. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at TL = 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - defines safe operating area in conduction-limited designs. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 150 Ω max at IZT = 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Temperature Coefficient αVZ | +0.090 %/°C - quantifies drift direction and magnitude for thermal compensation planning. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 μV/√Hz - enables low-phase-noise oscillator biasing and precision ADC reference buffering. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | 0.01 μA max at VR = 20.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks. |
Pinout & Package

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/TR | Same 27 V ±2% Zener voltage but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads. | Requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole legacy boards. | Select when automated assembly and board space reduction outweigh lead-forming requirements. |
| JAN1N4118C-1/TR | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN level (lower screening than JANTX). | Approved for less demanding military programs; not accepted in JANTX-mandated contracts. | Select only if procurement specification permits JAN-level qualification and cost sensitivity overrides reliability tier. |
Compared with JANTX1N4118C-1/TR, the 1N4118US-1/TR offers identical regulation performance in a space-constrained SMT form factor, while the JAN1N4118C-1/TR provides cost savings at the expense of reduced environmental screening-neither is pin-compatible without mechanical or qualification review.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4118C-1/TR?
JANTX1N4118C-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 27.0 V with ±2% tolerance, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature guide. This tighter tolerance reduces calibration effort compared to standard ±5% variants and is verified at IZT = 250 mA and 25 °C ambient. The JANTX1N4118C-1/TR maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is JANTX1N4118C-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4118C-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JANTX-qualified devices. The JANTX1N4118C-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and maintain compatibility with legacy aerospace assembly processes.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4118C-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4118C-1/TR is 0.01 µA at VR = 20.5 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes power loss in battery-backed systems where JANTX1N4118C-1/TR serves as a reference node.
Does JANTX1N4118C-1/TR require heatsinking in typical applications?
JANTX1N4118C-1/TR does not require external heatsinking in most applications due to its 500 mW rating and RθJL = 250 °C/W thermal resistance when mounted with 3/8″ lead length. However, power must be linearly derated above 50 °C lead temperature, reaching zero dissipation at 175 °C. For continuous 500 mW operation, JANTX1N4118C-1/TR relies on adequate PCB copper area and ambient airflow rather than discrete heatsinks.
How is polarity marked on JANTX1N4118C-1/TR?
JANTX1N4118C-1/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode for proper Zener regulation. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-35 standards and is visible under standard visual inspection. During circuit operation, JANTX1N4118C-1/TR conducts in reverse bias, with current flowing into the banded cathode terminal.
