Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4122D-1 from Microsemi is a 36 V, 1% 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 JANTX1N4122D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4122D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4122D-1 application, or JANTX1N4122D-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 36 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, ±1% voltage tolerance (denoted by "D" suffix), 200 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.01 µA maximum reverse leakage at 27.4 V, and radiation-hardened hermetic DO-35 construction.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a specified Zener voltage of 36.0 V at IZT = 250 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V). Its metallurgical bond ensures stable junction characteristics under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
Rated for continuous operation from −65 °C to +175 °C, it delivers regulated output across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 27.4 mA max) while maintaining ≤200 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA and ≤0.01 µA reverse current at VR = 27.4 V - critical for low-drift reference designs in avionics and satellite subsystems.

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 Zener voltage and tolerance, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package | Requires reflow-compatible layout; lacks axial-lead mechanical retention for high-vibration mounts | Select when board space is constrained and automated assembly is prioritized over mechanical ruggedness |
| JANTXV1N4122D-1 | Identical electrical specs but qualified to higher JANTXV reliability level with extended screening | Required for mission-critical subsystems where failure probability must be <10−6 per 1000 hrs | Select when program requirements mandate enhanced screening beyond JANTX, such as for launch vehicle electronics |
Compared with JANTX1N4122D-1, the 1N4122US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices mechanical robustness, while JANTXV1N4122D-1 provides identical form-fit-function with superior reliability validation - making the latter ideal for launch-critical functions and the former for size-constrained commercial-space derivatives.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and test current for JANTX1N4122D-1?
JANTX1N4122D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 36.0 V measured at a test current (IZT) of 250 mA. This value is guaranteed within ±1% tolerance across the qualified temperature range and forms the basis for its use as a precision reference in regulated power supplies and analog circuits.
Is JANTX1N4122D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4122D-1 is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions of this family; JANTX-level devices retain traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability and reliability requirements for high-reliability applications.
What does the "D" suffix mean in JANTX1N4122D-1?
The "D" suffix in JANTX1N4122D-1 indicates ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, per the part nomenclature defined in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 specification. This tighter tolerance distinguishes it from standard 5% (blank suffix) or 2% (C suffix) variants in the same family.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4122D-1?
JANTX1N4122D-1 has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.01 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 27.4 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference node integrity in precision analog and measurement systems.
Can JANTX1N4122D-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - JANTX1N4122D-1 uses an axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, consider the 1N4122US-1 in DO-213AA package, which shares identical electrical specifications but requires different PCB layout and reflow processing.
