Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4120D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 30 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 axial package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4120D-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4120D-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4120D-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4120D-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), dynamic impedance (200 Ω @ 250 mA), noise density (40 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.095 %/°C), and military-grade qualification status.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 30.0 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting low dynamic impedance (200 Ω) and minimal capacitance per Figure 3. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling.
The JANTX reliability level confirms compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements including screening for hermeticity, burn-in, and radiation hardness. The "D" suffix denotes ±1% Zener voltage tolerance, and "TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 30.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise reference generation in regulated power supplies requiring tight output stability. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous operation in compact, unheatsinked designs with linear derating to zero at 175 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω @ 250 mA - ensures low output impedance for effective ripple suppression in analog reference circuits. |
| Noise Density ND | 40 µV/√Hz @ 250 mA - suitable for low-noise voltage references in instrumentation and ADC biasing applications. |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | +0.095 %/°C - provides predictable, monotonic drift over -65 to +175 °C operating range for mission-critical systems. |
| Max Reverse Current IR | 0.01 µA @ 22.8 V - guarantees negligible leakage in high-impedance sensing and standby-bias networks. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 to +175 °C - validated for extended-temperature operation in avionics, satellite, and downhole electronics. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded glass package with cathode indicated by band; banded end is positive during Zener regulation. Hermetically sealed, tin-lead plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4120US-1 | Same 30 V, 1% Zener voltage but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads. | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or wire-wrap. | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is available. |
| JAN1N4120D-1 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN level (less stringent screening than JANTX). | Lacks JANTX-level burn-in and life testing - not approved for Class H or Class K aerospace programs. | Select only for non-flight hardware or ground-test fixtures where full JANTX screening is unnecessary. |
Compared with JANTX1N4120D-1/TR, the 1N4120US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but demands SMT infrastructure, while JAN1N4120D-1 reduces cost and lead time at the expense of mission-critical reliability validation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4120D-1/TR?
JANTX1N4120D-1/TR 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, where VZ = 30.0 V @ IZT = 250 mA with ±1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance reduces calibration burden in precision reference designs compared to standard ±5% variants.
Is JANTX1N4120D-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4120D-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature table on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2, RoHS compliance (e3 suffix) is available only on commercial-grade versions, and JANTX-level parts retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750. The "TR" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging only, not RoHS status.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4120D-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4120D-1/TR is 40 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This value corresponds to the 500 mW power rating at 30 V (P = V × I → 0.5 W ÷ 30 V ≈ 16.7 mA), but the datasheet explicitly lists IZM = 40 mA to account for transient conditions and derating margins.
Does JANTX1N4120D-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTX1N4120D-1/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. While not individually tested per MIL-STD-883, the metallurgically bonded DO-35 construction and silicon process yield immunity to total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for space-qualified instrumentation without additional hardening.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANTX1N4120D-1/TR?
The "TR" suffix in JANTX1N4120D-1/TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, as stated in the Mechanical and Packaging section on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2. It does not denote RoHS compliance or any electrical change - the device remains functionally identical to JANTX1N4120D-1 in all specifications and qualifications.
