Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4124-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 43.0 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level, with 1% Zener tolerance, 250 mA test current, and 250 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 °C - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4124-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4124-1 pinout, JANTX1N4124-1 application, or JANTX1N4124-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±1%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation hardness, hermetic glass packaging, and military-grade thermal derating behavior up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener regulator with metallurgically bonded junction, delivering stable 43.0 V reference across 5–40 mA operating current range. Its temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C ensures predictable drift in high-reliability environments.
Designed for high-reliability applications, JANTX1N4124-1 features minimal capacitance (~4 pF typical), non-ESD-sensitive construction per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and inherent radiation hardness validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - enabling use in space-qualified power supervisors and avionics voltage references.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4124US | Same 43.0 V Zener voltage, DO-213AA surface-mount package, JANS-qualified, 1% tolerance | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; lacks axial-lead flexibility for prototyping or through-hole legacy systems | Select when board space constraints mandate SMT or when JANS-level radiation assurance is mandatory |
| JANTXV1N4124-1 | Identical electrical specs, but qualified to higher JANTXV reliability level with extended burn-in and parametric screening | Higher cost and longer lead time; justified only for mission-critical flight hardware requiring enhanced lot traceability | Select when program requirements specify JANTXV screening per MIL-PRF-19500/435 Appendix A |
Compared with 1N4124US and JANTXV1N4124-1, JANTX1N4124-1 delivers optimal balance of military reliability, axial-lead serviceability, and cost for production avionics power monitoring - without over-specifying for non-flight-critical subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4124-1?
JANTX1N4124-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 43.0 V with ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature per MIL-PRF-19500/435. This tight tolerance is achieved through post-manufacture screening and is maintained across the full −65 to +175 °C junction temperature range specified for the JANTX level.
Is JANTX1N4124-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4124-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the Microsemi datasheet T4-LDS-0245-2, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants. The JANTX qualification level requires tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750, which contains lead and therefore falls outside RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU scope.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4124-1?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4124-1 is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 43.0 V Zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 0.5 W / 43.0 V ≈ 11.6 mA), but the datasheet specifies 40 mA as the absolute maximum continuous current before exceeding thermal limits under defined lead-length conditions.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JANTX1N4124-1 in circuit design?
JANTX1N4124-1 has a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 40.85 mV per °C rise. Designers must account for this predictable positive drift in precision references - for example, by incorporating complementary TC components or digital calibration routines in systems operating across wide thermal ranges.
Can JANTX1N4124-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
JANTX1N4124-1 itself is a DO-35 axial-leaded device and is not surface-mount compatible. However, Microsemi offers functionally equivalent surface-mount alternatives such as 1N4124US (DO-213AA) and 1PMT4124 (DO-216), both with identical 43.0 V Zener voltage and JANS qualification - enabling drop-in replacement in SMT layouts without electrical redesign.
