Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4122C-1/TR from Microsemi is a 36 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 and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4122C-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4122C-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4122C-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4122C-1/TR equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), MIL-spec qualification level, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), and axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical robustness.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 200 Ω at IZT. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
Designed for operation in the reverse-biased breakdown region, it delivers regulated voltage across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 27.4 mA max) while maintaining low capacitance (<10 pF typical) and minimal ESD sensitivity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4122US-1 | Same 36 V ±2% Zener voltage but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly; eliminates through-hole mounting and lead-forming steps | Select when automated placement and board space reduction outweigh manual assembly flexibility |

Compared with JANTX1N4122C-1/TR, the 1N4122US-1 offers footprint miniaturization at the cost of mechanical mounting flexibility, while JANS1N4122C-1 adds radiation assurance overhead without improving baseline regulation performance for terrestrial applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4122C-1/TR?
The "C" suffix in JANTX1N4122C-1/TR denotes a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 250 mA test current, tighter than the standard ±5% (blank suffix) version. This tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening and applies across the full operating temperature range when used within rated power limits.
Is JANTX1N4122C-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4122C-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation appears only on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4122C-1e3); JANTX-level parts retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 to ensure solderability and reliability under thermal cycling in military environments.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in JANTX1N4122C-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JANTX1N4122C-1/TR contains the same die, qualification, and electrical specs as the bulk-packaged JANTX1N4122C-1, with added logistics support for high-volume production lines.
How is polarity marked on JANTX1N4122C-1/TR?
JANTX1N4122C-1/TR uses a cathode band - a single painted ring near one end of the DO-35 glass body. For proper Zener regulation, the banded end must be connected to the more positive potential; the unmarked end is the anode and connects to circuit ground or lower potential.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4122C-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4122C-1/TR is 27.4 mA at 25 °C ambient, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 36 V Zener voltage. Operation above this current requires derating per the linear curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet to prevent junction overheating and parametric shift.
