Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4129D-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 62 V, 1% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4129D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4129D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4129D-1 application, or JANTX1N4129D-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 62 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 500 Ω at IZT. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable breakdown characteristics under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
Designed for operation in the reverse-biased breakdown region, it delivers regulated output with ≤0.01 µA reverse leakage at 47.1 V and supports continuous DC regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C ambient range, with linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise reference generation in analog power monitoring circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports stable regulation in compact, convection-cooled designs |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 500 Ω at 250 mA - limits output voltage variation under load transients |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - critical for low-noise reference applications such as precision ADC biasing |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.01 µA at 47.1 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby-mode systems |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.100 %/°C - predictable drift behavior simplifies temperature compensation design |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - validated for extended-range operation in avionics and space-qualified electronics |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass package; cathode indicated by band; banded end is anode when used as forward diode, but functions as cathode (positive terminal) during Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Zener cathode connection | Connected to regulated output node; must be held at higher potential than cathode for breakdown conduction |
| Cathode (unbanded end) | Zener anode connection | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for regulation |

| Metallurgical bond construction | Eliminates interfacial delamination risk under thermal shock and vibration, ensuring long-term parameter stability |
| 1% Zener voltage tolerance (D suffix) | Reduces need for external trimming in precision reference circuits, lowering BOM count and calibration cost |
| Radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 | Enables use in low-earth orbit and nuclear-hardened systems without additional shielding or derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4129US-1 | Same electrical specs, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package instead of axial DO-35 | Requires rework of PCB layout for SMT assembly; lacks axial lead flexibility for prototyping or through-hole repair | Select when automated assembly and board space constraints outweigh manual serviceability needs |
| JANTXV1N4129D-1 | Identical electrical and mechanical specs, but qualified to JANTXV (enhanced screening) per MIL-PRF-19500/435 | Required for programs demanding extended burn-in, life testing, and tighter parametric limits on αVZ and ZZT | Select when program specification mandates JANTXV-level reliability screening and lot acceptance testing |
Compared with JANTX1N4129D-1, the JANTXV variant adds enhanced screening for long-life deployments, while the 1N4129US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a space-saving SMT form factor-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package types.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4129D-1?
JANTX1N4129D-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, indicated by the "D" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tight tolerance is achieved through post-process binning and verified during MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification testing at 25 °C with 250 mA test current. The 62 V nominal value remains within 61.38 V to 62.62 V across all qualified lots, supporting high-accuracy reference design without external trimming.
Is JANTX1N4129D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4129D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade variants-not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS levels. The JANTX1N4129D-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 and retains lead content to ensure solderability and reliability under thermal cycling in military environments.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4129D-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4129D-1 is 0.01 µA at 47.1 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference nodes and supports stable operation in battery-backed or low-power monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
How does JANTX1N4129D-1 handle thermal derating?
JANTX1N4129D-1 linearly derates from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C ambient, per Figure 2 in the datasheet. Derating begins at 50 °C lead temperature, with a slope of -6.25 mW/°C. For typical FR4 PCB mounting with 4 mm² copper pads, this allows sustained 350 mW operation at 70 °C ambient-critical for convection-cooled avionics enclosures where forced airflow is unavailable.
Can JANTX1N4129D-1 be used as a transient voltage suppressor?
JANTX1N4129D-1 is not rated or characterized as a transient voltage suppressor (TVS). While it clamps above 62 V in reverse breakdown, its 500 mW average power rating and lack of peak pulse power (IPP) specification make it unsuitable for ESD or lightning surge suppression. It is designed for steady-state regulation-not transient energy absorption. For TVS applications, Microsemi's dedicated JAN/ JANTX-rated TVS diodes (e.g., JANTXV1N6105A) should be selected instead of JANTX1N4129D-1.
