For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4126C-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4126C-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4126C-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4126C-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±2%), 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 51 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a dynamic impedance of 300 Ω and a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
Designed for high-reliability environments, JANTX1N4126C-1/TR maintains regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 38.8 mA max) and supports operation from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with linear power derating beginning at +50 °C lead temperature.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4126C-1/TR?
JANTX1N4126C-1/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the "C" suffix in its nomenclature. This means its nominal 51 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 49.98 V and 52.02 V at 250 mA test current and +25 °C, supporting tight regulation in feedback loops where accuracy directly impacts system performance.
Is JANTX1N4126C-1/TR suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, JANTX1N4126C-1/TR is rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +175 °C and features linear power derating starting at +50 °C lead temperature. Its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 package ensure stable regulation and parameter retention in engine bay, avionics bay, and downhole electronics environments.
Does JANTX1N4126C-1/TR have radiation hardness?
Yes, JANTX1N4126C-1/TR is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It exhibits robust performance under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure, making it suitable for satellite payloads, nuclear instrumentation, and other high-radiation environments without requiring external shielding or derating.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANTX1N4126C-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. JANTX1N4126C-1/TR is supplied in reels for high-volume manufacturing, with standard reel quantities defined by Microsemi; contact Aetrix Electronics for specific packaging configurations and minimum order quantities.
How does the noise performance of JANTX1N4126C-1/TR compare to lower-voltage Zeners?
JANTX1N4126C-1/TR delivers 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 250 mA, consistent with Microsemi's specification that noise falls rapidly below 6.8 V and stabilizes at this ultra-low level for voltages ≥51 V. This makes JANTX1N4126C-1/TR especially valuable in precision analog circuits where broadband noise degrades signal integrity.
