Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4126D-1 from Microsemi is a 51 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, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4126D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4126D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4126D-1 application, or JANTX1N4126D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±1%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation hardness, hermetic DO-35 packaging, and MIL-spec thermal derating behavior.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 51.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 300 Ω at IZT. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
Designed for operation in the reverse-biased breakdown region, JANTX1N4126D-1 maintains regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 38.8 mA max) and ambient temperatures (–65 °C to +175 °C), with noise density specified at 1 µV/√Hz - among the lowest in the 1N41xx series for voltages ≥43 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 51.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise 51 V reference generation with minimal calibration drift. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - supports robust thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 300 Ω @ 250 mA - limits output voltage variation under load transients in feedback loops. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz @ 25 °C - critical for low-noise analog references and precision instrumentation front-ends. |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.100 %/°C - predictable positive drift simplifies temperature compensation in wide-range environments. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.01 µA @ 38.8 V - ensures negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - validated for extended operation in avionics, downhole, and space-qualified systems. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package. Cathode indicated by color band; banded end must be held positive relative to anode for Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; defines return path for Zener current. |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded terminal; supplies stable 51 V when reverse-biased and current-limited externally. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX qualification | Validated reliability for military/aerospace use, including screening, lot traceability, and failure analysis reporting. |
| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal shock and long-term bias stress. |
| 1% Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-assembly trimming in precision voltage references and sensor excitation circuits. |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently tolerant per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for low-dose-rate space applications without shielding overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4126US-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. |
| JAN1N4126D-1 | Identical electrical and mechanical specs, but qualified only to JAN level (less stringent screening than JANTX). | Acceptable for non-critical subsystems where full JANTX burn-in and lot acceptance testing are not required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for extended reliability validation. |
Compared with JANTX1N4126D-1, the 1N4126US-1 enables PCB miniaturization at the expense of manual assembly flexibility, while JAN1N4126D-1 reduces procurement cost and lead time without sacrificing Zener performance - both require identical external current limiting and thermal management.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4126D-1?
JANTX1N4126D-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, where VZ = 51.0 V at IZT = 250 mA with 1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance supports precision reference designs without post-manufacture calibration.
Is JANTX1N4126D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4126D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for MIL-qualified JANTX-level devices like JANTX1N4126D-1. The part uses tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, consistent with legacy military requirements.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4126D-1?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4126D-1 is 38.8 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value corresponds to the current at which the device dissipates its rated 500 mW at VZ = 51.0 V, and must be respected in external current-limiting resistor calculations.
Does JANTX1N4126D-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTX1N4126D-1 is inherently radiation hard, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050 referenced in the datasheet. While not individually tested per MIL-STD-883, its metallurgically bonded structure and DO-35 hermetic package provide proven tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) and displacement damage, making it suitable for low-dose-rate space applications.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4126D-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4126D-1 is 250 °C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, per the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value guides heatsinking decisions when mounting to metal chassis or thermally conductive substrates.
