Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4125C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 47 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass axial-leaded package, qualified to JANTX reliability level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, 250 mA test current, and 250 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at 25 °C - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in military-grade power supplies and analog instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4125C-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4125C-1 pinout, JANTX1N4125C-1 application, or JANTX1N4125C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±2%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation-hardened construction, and thermal derating behavior from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener regulator with metallurgically bonded junction, enabling stable voltage reference over wide temperature (–65 to +175 °C) and current ranges. Its 47 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 250 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of ≤250 Ω measured at 10% ac modulation superimposed on IZT.
Noise performance is characterized at 1 µV/√Hz (typical), verified under 1–3 kHz bandpass filtering at 25 °C ambient. Temperature coefficient is +0.095 %/°C, indicating positive drift with rising temperature - critical for high-stability reference designs requiring compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4751A | 47 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, non-mil-qualified, higher noise (5 µV/√Hz). | Commercial industrial power supplies where cost and power margin outweigh radiation tolerance and noise. | Select only if JANTX-level screening, hermetic sealing, and sub-µV noise are not required. |
| JAN1N4125C | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN level (less stringent screening than JANTX). | Lower-tier defense programs accepting reduced burn-in and environmental testing per MIL-PRF-19500/435. | Use when full JANTX screening is unnecessary but same 47 V ±2% regulation and radiation hardness are needed. |
Compared with 1N4751A and JAN1N4125C, JANTX1N4125C-1 uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, 1 µV/√Hz noise, JANTX-level screening, and hermetic DO-35 packaging - making it irreplaceable for high-reliability analog references where parameter stability under stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for JANTX1N4125C-1?
JANTX1N4125C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with ±2% tolerance, verified at a Zener test current (IZT) of 250 mA. This tolerance ensures regulation within ±0.94 V under specified conditions, supporting high-accuracy reference designs where tight voltage control is essential. The 250 mA test current reflects the standard operating point used to characterize dynamic impedance and noise performance.
Is JANTX1N4125C-1 suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, JANTX1N4125C-1 is rated for junction temperatures from –65 to +175 °C and features linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C. Its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 glass package ensure stable 47 V regulation even under sustained thermal stress - validated in downhole and avionics applications exceeding 150 °C ambient.
Does JANTX1N4125C-1 meet MIL-PRF-19500/435 requirements?
Yes, JANTX1N4125C-1 is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 at the JANTX reliability level, including rigorous screening for vibration, thermal shock, burn-in, and parameter verification. This qualification confirms its suitability for defense and aerospace programs requiring full traceability, lot acceptance testing, and guaranteed lifetime performance under extreme operational stresses.
What is the noise performance of JANTX1N4125C-1, and how is it measured?
JANTX1N4125C-1 exhibits a typical noise density of 1 µV/√Hz, measured using a 1–3 kHz bandpass filter at 25 °C ambient and 250 mA Zener test current. This low-noise characteristic is intrinsic to its metallurgical bond structure and enables use in precision analog circuits - such as ADC references and low-phase-noise oscillator bias networks - without requiring external filtering.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JANTX1N4125C-1's regulation accuracy?
JANTX1N4125C-1 has a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 44.65 mV per °C rise. This predictable positive drift allows designers to implement passive or active compensation in high-stability reference circuits - especially critical in aerospace and instrumentation applications where ambient temperature may vary by >100 °C.
