Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4129C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 62 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package with 2% voltage tolerance, metallurgically bonded construction, and MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX qualification for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4129C-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4129C-1 pinout, JANTX1N4129C-1 application, or JANTX1N4129C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±2%), low noise density (≤1 μV/√Hz), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), and hermetic DO-35 packaging for radiation-hardened environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 500 Ω at IZT. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling.
Designed for operation in the reverse-biased breakdown region, JANTX1N4129C-1 maintains regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM = 47.1 mA) and supports stable reference generation in analog circuits where low capacitance (<2 pF typical) and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 method 1020 are required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANS1N4129C-1 | Same electrical specs but qualified to JANS level with enhanced screening and extended temperature validation (-65 to +175 °C fully tested) | Required for Class K spaceflight hardware where full radiation testing and lot acceptance testing are mandated | Select JANS1N4129C-1 only when JANS-level documentation, radiation test reports, and 100% lot testing are contractually required |
| 1N4129UR-1 | Identical Zener parameters in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Used in automated SMT production where board space is constrained and reflow compatibility is needed | Choose 1N4129UR-1 for new PCB designs targeting high-volume assembly and reduced footprint, not for legacy through-hole upgrades |
Compared with JANTX1N4129C-1, JANS1N4129C-1 adds full radiation test data and extended environmental validation at higher cost and longer lead time, while 1N4129UR-1 trades axial mounting flexibility for SMT manufacturability and eliminates lead-forming steps.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4129C-1?
JANTX1N4129C-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This corresponds to a guaranteed 62 V regulation within 60.76 V to 63.24 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, enabling tighter closed-loop control than standard ±5% variants.
Is JANTX1N4129C-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, JANTX1N4129C-1 is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level, making it suitable for low-earth orbit missions. However, for flight-critical systems requiring full radiation test reports, the JANS1N4129C-1 variant with documented TID and SEE testing should be selected instead of JANTX1N4129C-1.
What is the maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4129C-1?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4129C-1 is 47.1 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 62 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PM(AV)/VZ ≈ 0.5 W / 62 V). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1.
Does JANTX1N4129C-1 have RoHS compliance?
No, JANTX1N4129C-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade parts (blank reliability level), not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS qualified devices like JANTX1N4129C-1, which retain tin-lead plating for solderability and reliability in high-reliability assemblies.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4129C-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4129C-1 is 250 °C/W when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the DO-35 package body, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value assumes standard lead-forming and PCB mounting practices.
