Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4127-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 56 V, ±5% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation. It delivers 42.6 mA maximum Zener current at 25 °C, exhibits 300 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and maintains stable regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range in aerospace power supply reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4127-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4127-1 pinout, JANTX1N4127-1 application, or JANTX1N4127-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 56 V nominal Zener voltage, 300 Ω ZZT at IZT = 250 mA, ±5% tolerance, JANTX-level military qualification, and DO-35 axial-leaded hermetic glass package - all critical for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in harsh-environment analog systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage regulator with a specified Zener voltage of 56 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C above 50 V. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V, scaling per datasheet) and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The JANTX1N4127-1 is designed for operation within strict thermal limits: 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 board, linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.01 µA at VR = 42.6 V - enabling stable regulation under wide current and temperature excursions in mission-critical analog subsystems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4127US | Same 56 V VZ and JANTXV qualification, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; lacks axial lead mechanical robustness | Select when automated assembly and board space constraints outweigh mechanical mounting needs |
| CMZ56 | Commercial-grade 56 V Zener, 5% tolerance, DO-35, no military qualification or radiation hardening | Not suitable for aerospace or defense programs requiring MIL-PRF-19500 compliance | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where JANTX screening is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4127-1?
JANTX1N4127-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined by JEDEC registration and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies under standard test conditions at 25 °C with IZT = 250 mA, and is consistent across all JANTX-level variants in the 1N4099–1N4135 series.
Is JANTX1N4127-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4127-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, RoHS compliance (suffix "e3") is available only on commercial-grade versions of this series. The JANTX prefix indicates military qualification under MIL-PRF-19500/435, which retains tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability and reliability in high-reliability applications.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4127-1 at 25 °C?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4127-1 is 42.6 mA at 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value is derived from the 500 mW power rating and the 56 V Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ ≈ 0.5 W / 56 V), and represents the absolute DC current limit before thermal derating begins.
Does JANTX1N4127-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTX1N4127-1 possesses inherent radiation hardness documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 package contribute to tolerance against total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effects, making it suitable for space and nuclear instrumentation applications without requiring external hardening measures.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4127-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4127-1 is 250 °C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This parameter is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under sustained Zener current and informs heatsinking requirements in high-power analog designs.
