Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4127C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 56 V, ±2% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power supplies and precision reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4127C-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4127C-1 pinout, JANTX1N4127C-1 application, or JANTX1N4127C-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 56 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, 300 Ω maximum dynamic impedance, 0.01 µA maximum reverse leakage at 42.6 V, ±2% voltage tolerance, and -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at IZT = 250 mA and characterized by αVZ = +0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable regulation under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
It exhibits low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages), minimal capacitance (~2.5 pF at 56 V), and inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - critical for space-grade analog signal conditioning and voltage monitoring in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 56 V at 250 mA test current - defines precise regulation point for mid-range high-voltage references. |
| Zener Tolerance | ±2% (C grade) - enables tighter output voltage control than standard ±5% parts in feedback loops. |
| Max Dynamic Impedance | 300 Ω at 250 mA - limits regulation error under load current variation in precision shunt regulators. |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 0.01 µA at 42.6 V - ensures negligible standby current in battery-backed or low-power bias networks. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - supports operation in conduction-cooled avionics enclosures. |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +175 °C - validated for extended-range military and space applications without derating penalties. |
| Thermal Resistance | 250 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables direct thermal path to chassis ground in through-hole mounting. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANS1N4127C-1 | Qualified to JANS level (higher screening, wider temp range, full radiation testing) | Required for Class S spaceflight hardware; not needed for ground-based or airborne JANTX-tier systems | Select JANS1N4127C-1 only when full MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANS compliance is mandated. |
| 1N4127C-1 (commercial) | No military qualification; RoHS-compliant plating; 0 °C to +70 °C operating range | Suitable for lab prototypes or non-critical industrial equipment where cost and lead time dominate | Choose 1N4127C-1 for commercial-grade designs lacking environmental or reliability requirements. |
Compared with JANTX1N4127C-1, the JANS variant adds radiation hardness validation and extended screening but increases cost and lead time, while the commercial 1N4127C-1 sacrifices military reliability for affordability and availability in non-harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4127C-1?
JANTX1N4127C-1 has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 56 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 54.88 V and 57.12 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C, tighter than the standard ±5% tolerance of non-suffixed variants.
Is JANTX1N4127C-1 suitable for space applications?
JANTX1N4127C-1 is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level and exhibits inherent radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050, making it appropriate for many space-qualified subsystems. However, for Class S flight hardware, the fully screened JANS1N4127C-1 is required - JANTX1N4127C-1 does not include full radiation testing documentation.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4127C-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4127C-1 is 0.01 µA at VR = 42.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports use in high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered monitoring circuits.
Does JANTX1N4127C-1 have a defined temperature coefficient?
Yes, JANTX1N4127C-1 has a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 56 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. This positive tempco is typical for Zeners above 5.6 V and must be compensated in high-accuracy reference designs.
What package type is used for JANTX1N4127C-1?
JANTX1N4127C-1 uses the DO-35 (also designated DO-204AH) hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass package. The cathode is marked by a visible band on the glass body, and the device is intended for through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for thermal performance per datasheet RθJL specification.
