Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4127-1/TR from Microsemi is a 56 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded 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 - used in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits in aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4127-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4127-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4127-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4127-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal derating behavior, MIL-spec qualification level, noise density at operating current, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C above 47 V. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages, rising to ≤40 µV/√Hz at ≥6.8 V) and radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
The JANTX1N4127-1/TR is rated for 500 mW average power dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length. It features hermetically sealed glass packaging, cathode band polarity marking, and RoHS-compliant plating only on commercial-grade variants - not applicable to this JANTX-level part.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4127US (Microchip) | Same 56 V nominal Zener, but DO-213AA surface-mount package; no MIL qualification | Lacks JANTX-level screening and radiation hardness; suitable only for commercial industrial use | Select when board space is constrained and MIL-spec compliance is not required |
| JAN1N4127-1 (Microsemi) | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN level (lower screening than JANTX) | Reduced burn-in and environmental test coverage; acceptable for non-critical military subsystems | Select when cost reduction is prioritized and full JANTX reliability assurance is unnecessary |
Compared with JANTX1N4127-1/TR, the 1N4127US trades MIL qualification and axial-leaded mounting for SMT compatibility, while JAN1N4127-1 retains the same package and function but reduces reliability assurance scope - making JANTX1N4127-1/TR the only choice for programs requiring verified JANTX-level performance and traceability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4127-1/TR?
JANTX1N4127-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a ±5% tolerance, as defined by its JEDEC 1N4127 designation and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and is standard for the JAN/JANTX-level variants unless otherwise marked with C (2%) or D (1%) suffixes - which JANTX1N4127-1/TR does not carry.
Is JANTX1N4127-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4127-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (marked with "e3" suffix) are available only on commercial-grade parts. The JANTX qualification level requires tin-lead plating for solderability and reliability validation per MIL-STD-750, and therefore uses non-RoHS-compliant leaded terminations.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANTX1N4127-1/TR at 25 °C?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4127-1/TR 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 corresponds to the 500 mW power rating divided by the 56 V Zener voltage, and assumes thermal equilibrium at lead temperature - actual usable current decreases with rising ambient or PCB temperature due to linear derating.
Does JANTX1N4127-1/TR have a specified noise density?
Yes, JANTX1N4127-1/TR has a noise density specification: ≤40 µV/√Hz for devices rated 6.8 V and above, as stated in the FEATURES section on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. While the exact value at 56 V is not tabulated separately, it falls within this upper bound, making JANTX1N4127-1/TR suitable for low-noise reference applications where broadband noise must be minimized.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4127-1/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4127-1/TR is 250 °C/W, measured at 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as listed in the MAXIMUM RATINGS table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load and verifying compliance with the 175 °C absolute maximum rating during sustained operation.
