Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4128C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 60 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass package with 2% tolerance, metallurgical bond construction, and MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX qualification for high-reliability analog reference and power regulation applications.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4128C-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4128C-1 pinout, JANTX1N4128C-1 application, or JANTX1N4128C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±2%), low noise density (≤1 μV/√Hz at 60 V), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), and military-grade reliability under extended temperature (-65 to +175 °C).
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, delivering stable 60 V regulation across 250 mA test current and up to 45.6 mA maximum Zener current. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and low parameter drift under thermal cycling.
Designed for high-reliability environments, JANTX1N4128C-1 exhibits a +0.100 %/°C temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance of 400 Ω at IZT, and reverse leakage ≤0.01 µA at 48 V - enabling use in precision analog circuits where long-term stability and radiation hardness are required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4128US-1 | Same 60 V Zener voltage, DO-213AA surface-mount package, 5% tolerance, no military qualification | Used in commercial PCBs where space-constrained SMT layout is required and MIL-spec not mandated | Select when footprint size and automated assembly outweigh need for JANTX screening and 2% tolerance |
| JAN1N4128C-1 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN level (less rigorous screening than JANTX) | Suitable for cost-sensitive defense subsystems where full JANTX environmental testing is not required | Select when budget constraints exist but DO-35 form factor and 2% tolerance remain mandatory |
Compared with JANTX1N4128C-1, 1N4128US-1 trades military reliability and tight tolerance for SMT compatibility, while JAN1N4128C-1 reduces cost and test burden without sacrificing package or basic Zener performance - enabling tiered sourcing across program maturity stages.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4128C-1?
JANTX1N4128C-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its nomenclature. This corresponds to a regulated voltage of 60.0 V ±1.2 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. The tighter tolerance supports higher-accuracy reference designs compared to standard 5% variants like JANTX1N4128-1.
Is JANTX1N4128C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4128C-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JANTX-qualified devices. JANTX1N4128C-1 uses tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and retains lead content to meet solderability and reliability requirements for military applications.
What is the maximum Zener current for JANTX1N4128C-1?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4128C-1 is 45.6 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 60 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at 25 °C lead temperature; current must be reduced linearly above 50 °C per the published derating curve to avoid exceeding junction temperature limits.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JANTX1N4128C-1 in wide-temperature applications?
JANTX1N4128C-1 has a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 60 mV per °C rise above 25 °C. Over the full -65 to +175 °C range, this results in a total shift of ~12 V - a critical factor in precision references where compensation or trimming may be required to maintain system-level accuracy.
Can JANTX1N4128C-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, JANTX1N4128C-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 with identical 60 V rating, consider the commercial-grade 1N4128US-1 in DO-213AA package - though it lacks JANTX qualification and 2% tolerance.
