Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4618C-1 from Microsemi is a 2.7 V, 500 mW axial-leaded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 2% voltage tolerance, 1500 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and -0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage regulation in military-grade power supply reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4618C-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4618C-1 pinout, JANTX1N4618C-1 application, or JANTX1N4618C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (2%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), noise density (1 μV/√Hz), maximum reverse leakage (0.5 μA @ 2.2 V), and MIL-qualified reliability level.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-bias breakdown mode, with metallurgically bonded construction ensuring stable regulation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. Its low-noise performance (1 μV/√Hz) and tight 2% Zener voltage tolerance support high-accuracy analog references.
The DO-35 package provides hermetic glass sealing and axial leads with cathode band marking; thermal derating begins linearly at 50 °C ambient, reducing rated power from 500 mW to zero at 175 °C. It is non-ESD-sensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4618C-1 | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter parametric limits on IR and ZZT | Required for space-flight critical subsystems where burn-in and radiation testing are mandated | Select when mission-critical reliability exceeds standard JANTX requirements |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4618C-1?
JANTX1N4618C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with ±2% tolerance, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and applies across the full qualified temperature range when used within derated power limits. The JANTX1N4618C-1 maintains this specification after MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening.
Is JANTX1N4618C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4618C-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 JANTX-qualified parts. The JANTX1N4618C-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating on its axial leads and meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements without lead-free processing.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4618C-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4618C-1 is 0.5 μA at 2.2 V reverse voltage and 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains valid across the full qualified temperature range when operated within thermal derating limits. The JANTX1N4618C-1 exhibits this low leakage due to its metallurgically bonded junction structure.
Can JANTX1N4618C-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, JANTX1N4618C-1 is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT implementation, engineers should select the functionally equivalent 1N4618UR-1 in DO-213AA package. The JANTX1N4618C-1 requires through-hole mounting and manual or wave-solder processes.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4618C-1?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4618C-1 is 250 °C/W, measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the package body. This value enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on PCBs with defined copper land patterns. Derating of the 500 mW power rating begins linearly at 50 °C lead temperature, reaching zero at 175 °C - a key constraint for JANTX1N4618C-1 thermal design.
