Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4126D-1/TR 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.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4126D-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4126D-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4126D-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4126D-1/TR 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 51.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a dynamic impedance of 300 Ω and temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C. 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/TR maintains regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 38.8 mA max) and supports low-noise analog references due to its 1 µV/√Hz noise density - verified at 1 kHz–3 kHz bandwidth per Figure 1 test circuit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 51.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise reference generation in regulated DC-DC feedback paths |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW @ TL = 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - defines maximum safe continuous power in lead-mounted configurations |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 300 Ω @ 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients in shunt regulation |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz @ 1–3 kHz - critical for low-noise analog references and precision instrumentation circuits |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.100 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; used to calculate worst-case regulation error in wide-temp environments |
| Max Reverse Current IR | 10 µA @ 38.8 V - specifies leakage below knee voltage, affecting standby power and stability in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including space and engine bay applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4126D-1/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter lot acceptance testing, extended burn-in, and enhanced quality assurance per MIL-PRF-19500/435 | Required for mission-critical avionics where failure probability must be <10−6/hour | Select when program spec mandates JANTXV-level reliability; same electrical specs and DO-35 footprint |
| 1N4126US-1 | Same Zener voltage and tolerance but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Suitable for automated SMT assembly; not interchangeable in through-hole designs without board rework | Choose for space-constrained PCBs or high-volume production where reflow compatibility is essential |
Compared with JANTX1N4126D-1/TR, the JANTXV variant adds process controls for ultra-high reliability without changing regulation performance, while the 1N4126US-1 offers identical electrical behavior in a surface-mount form factor - enabling layout flexibility but requiring physical redesign.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4126D-1/TR?
JANTX1N4126D-1/TR 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 reduces calibration burden in precision reference designs compared to standard 5% variants like JANTX1N4126-1/TR.
Is JANTX1N4126D-1/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANTX1N4126D-1/TR is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050, referenced in the Applications/Benefits section of T4-LDS-0245-2. Its metallurgically bonded glass construction and DO-35 hermetic package provide resistance to total ionizing dose (TID) and displacement damage, making it suitable for low-earth orbit and nuclear instrumentation without additional hardening measures.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4126D-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4126D-1/TR 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 reaches its rated 500 mW power dissipation at 51.0 V, assuming ideal thermal conditions. Derating applies above +50 °C lead temperature.
Does JANTX1N4126D-1/TR have RoHS compliance?
No, JANTX1N4126D-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS qualified devices. JANTX1N4126D-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 and is intended for high-reliability applications where Pb-free requirements are waived.
What package type does JANTX1N4126D-1/TR use?
JANTX1N4126D-1/TR uses the hermetically sealed axial-leaded DO-35 (also designated DO-204AH) glass package, as stated in the Mechanical and Packaging section on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. Dimensions are provided on page 5, with body diameter 1.42–2.29 mm and overall length 25.4–38.1 mm. The cathode is marked by a visible band on the glass envelope.
