Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4128-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 60 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass axial-leaded package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level, with 1% voltage tolerance, 400 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.01 µA at 45.6 V. It serves as a precision reference in military-grade power supply regulation and analog circuit biasing.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4128-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4128-1 pinout, JANTX1N4128-1 application, or JANTX1N4128-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V nominal Zener voltage, JANTX reliability qualification, DO-35 thermal resistance (RθJL = 250 °C/W), low noise density (≤1 µV/√Hz below 6.8 V), and radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050.
Technical Context
The JANTX1N4128-1 operates in reverse breakdown mode with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode for regulation. Its metallurgically bonded junction ensures stable voltage reference over temperature (αVZ = +0.100 %/°C) and high-reliability operation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction range.
It delivers regulated output at IZT = 250 mA with VZ = 60.0 V ±1%, exhibits minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF per Figure 3), and maintains low noise density - critical for precision analog signal chains and low-jitter timing references in aerospace avionics and test instrumentation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4128US (Microchip) | Same 60 V, 1% tolerance, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; RθJA = 400 °C/W vs. 300 °C/W for JANTX1N4128-1 | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair | Select when automated assembly and space-constrained layouts outweigh thermal performance needs |
| JAN1N4128-1 (Microsemi) | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN level (less stringent screening than JANTX) | Approved for non-critical commercial/military hybrids; not cleared for flight hardware or Class H applications | Select only if full JANTX screening is not mandated by program requirements |
Compared with 1N4128US and JAN1N4128-1, the JANTX1N4128-1 provides superior thermal performance (RθJL = 250 °C/W), full JANTX-level screening for burn-in and life testing, and guaranteed radiation hardness - making it the sole choice for Class H aerospace and safety-critical defense systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for JANTX1N4128-1?
The JANTX1N4128-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 60.0 V with ±1% tolerance, measured at a Zener test current (IZT) of 250 mA. This tight tolerance ensures consistent regulation in high-precision applications such as avionics power supplies and calibration standards where voltage drift must remain within strict limits across temperature and time.
Is JANTX1N4128-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4128-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade variants (e.g., 1N4128-1e3), not for JANTX-qualified parts. The JANTX1N4128-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and maintain compatibility with legacy military assembly processes.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for JANTX1N4128-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4128-1 is 0.01 µA at 45.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This extremely low leakage ensures minimal power loss and high impedance in reference node applications, preserving accuracy in high-gain analog circuits and battery-powered instrumentation where standby current must be minimized.
How does the temperature coefficient of JANTX1N4128-1 affect its performance in wide-temperature environments?
JANTX1N4128-1 has a temperature coefficient αVZ of +0.100 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising temperature. This positive, linear drift allows straightforward compensation in circuits where temperature-induced error must be modeled or canceled - especially valuable in aerospace systems operating from -65 °C to +175 °C, where uncontrolled drift would compromise regulation accuracy.
Can JANTX1N4128-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, JANTX1N4128-1 is packaged exclusively in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT-compatible alternatives, consider Microchip's 1N4128US in DO-213AA package - though it lacks JANTX qualification and has higher thermal resistance. JANTX1N4128-1 requires through-hole mounting with ≥10 mm lead length for optimal thermal performance per RθJL spec.
