Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4125D-1 from Microsemi is a 1% tolerance, 47 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4125D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4125D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4125D-1 application, or JANTX1N4125D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±1%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation hardness, and military-grade thermal derating behavior up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a dynamic impedance of 250 Ω and temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C. 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 output with minimal capacitance (<1 pF typical at 47 V) and low leakage (≤10 nA at 37.6 V), supporting stable reference generation in analog signal chains and feedback loops of DC-DC converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 47 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise 47 V rail regulation with tight tolerance for mission-critical references. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - supports robust thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 250 Ω @ 250 mA - ensures stable regulation under varying load current without excessive output drift. |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz @ 47 V - critical for low-noise analog references and precision instrumentation front-ends. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤10 nA @ 37.6 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance bias networks and sensor interfaces. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.095 %/°C - allows predictable voltage drift compensation in wide-temperature-range systems. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +175 °C - validated for operation in extreme environments including space and avionics. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package; cathode indicated by band; banded end is anode when used as Zener regulator (cathode connected to higher potential).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; defines Zener regulation polarity. |
| Cathode (non-banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to input supply; maintains 47 V above anode when reverse-biased above knee voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX qualification | Validated reliability for aerospace and defense programs requiring traceable lot data and screening. |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal shock and mechanical stress. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4125US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads. | Required for automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical retention. | Select when board space is constrained and reflow compatibility is mandatory. |
| JANTXV1N4125D-1 | Identical electrical parameters with additional JANTXV-level screening (extended burn-in, parametric limits). | Required for Class H or Class K reliability programs where failure-in-time (FIT) rate must be <10 FIT. | Select when system-level reliability requirements exceed standard JANTX qualification. |
Compared with JANTX1N4125D-1, the 1N4125US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a compact SMT form factor, while JANTXV1N4125D-1 adds enhanced screening for ultra-high-reliability deployments-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages or qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4125D-1?
JANTX1N4125D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±1%, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified under standard test conditions (25 °C, 250 mA Zener test current) and maintained across the full military temperature range per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening.
Is JANTX1N4125D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4125D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants-not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS levels. The JANTX1N4125D-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4125D-1?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4125D-1 is 40 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 47 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ ≈ 500 mW / 47 V). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1.
Does JANTX1N4125D-1 require heatsinking in normal operation?
JANTX1N4125D-1 does not require external heatsinking at ambient temperatures ≤50 °C and power dissipation ≤500 mW. Its thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 300 °C/W on a standard FR4 board; however, linear derating begins at 50 °C lead temperature, reaching zero dissipation at 175 °C-so board layout and copper area should be evaluated per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
How is polarity marked on JANTX1N4125D-1?
JANTX1N4125D-1 uses a single black band to indicate the cathode terminal. When used as a Zener regulator, the cathode (non-banded end) must be connected to the higher-potential supply rail, and the anode (banded end) to the reference or ground node-this is explicitly stated in the Mechanical and Packaging section of T4-LDS-0245-2.
