Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4128D-1 from Microsemi is a 60 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4128D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4128D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4128D-1 application, or JANTX1N4128D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±1%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), radiation hardness, and military-grade thermal derating behavior up to +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 60.0 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 400 Ω at IZT. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
Designed for operation in the reverse-biased breakdown region, it delivers regulated output with ≤0.01 µA reverse leakage at VR = 45.6 V and supports stable regulation across 13–45.6 mA operating current range while maintaining <1 µV/√Hz noise density below 1 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 60.0 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise reference generation for 60 V rail monitoring and overvoltage clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - defines maximum continuous thermal load on PCB traces |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 400 Ω at 250 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load transients |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz - critical for low-noise analog references and precision instrumentation front-ends |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.100 %/°C - quantifies drift magnitude per degree Celsius in high-temperature environments |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.01 µA at 45.6 V - ensures minimal standby current in battery-backed or ultra-low-power circuits |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 to +175 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature avionics and space-qualified systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4128US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Requires PCB rework for SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical retention | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is available |
| JANS1N4128D-1 | Identical electrical and mechanical specs but qualified to JANS (highest MIL-PRF-19500 level) with full lot traceability and radiation testing | Required for mission-critical spaceflight hardware where single-event burnout (SEB) immunity must be documented | Select when full JANS certification and radiation test reports are mandated by program requirements |
Compared with JANTX1N4128D-1, the 1N4128US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but sacrifices mechanical robustness and hand-solderability, while JANS1N4128D-1 adds full radiation characterization and lot-level screening at higher cost and longer lead time.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4128D-1?
JANTX1N4128D-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, denoted by the "D" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, where VZ = 60.0 V at IZT = 250 mA with 1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance reduces calibration overhead in precision reference designs compared to standard 5% variants like JANTX1N4128-1.
Is JANTX1N4128D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4128D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS qualified devices. JANTX1N4128D-1 retains traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and ensure compatibility with legacy aerospace assembly processes.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4128D-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4128D-1 is 0.01 µA at VR = 45.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This ultra-low leakage supports use in battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems where standby current must remain below 10 nA, and confirms stable regulation well below the knee voltage.
Does JANTX1N4128D-1 require a heatsink in normal operation?
No, JANTX1N4128D-1 does not require an external heatsink under typical conditions. With a rated average power dissipation of 500 mW and thermal resistance RθJL = 250 °C/W at 3/8″ lead length, self-heating remains within limits up to ~125 mW at +70 °C ambient. Full 500 mW operation requires careful PCB copper area design per Figure 2 derating curve, but most reference applications operate well below this threshold.
How is polarity marked on JANTX1N4128D-1?
JANTX1N4128D-1 uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential side of the circuit for proper Zener regulation. This is explicitly stated in the Mechanical and Packaging section on page 2, and the device must be operated with the banded end positive relative to the anode to function as a shunt regulator.
