Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4618D-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 2.7 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTX level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 1% voltage tolerance, 1500 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and -0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision low-voltage reference and regulation in military power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4618D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4618D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4618D-1 application, or JANTX1N4618D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±1%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), hermetic DO-35 packaging, MIL-qualified reliability, and thermal derating behavior from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener regulator with metallurgically bonded junction, enabling stable voltage reference under varying load and temperature conditions. It exhibits a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V at 250 mA test current, with dynamic impedance of 1500 Ω and temperature coefficient of -0.075 %/°C - indicating predictable negative drift over temperature.
The DO-35 axial-glass package provides hermetic sealing and supports operation across -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length, and it delivers ≤0.5 µA reverse leakage at 1.0 V reverse bias - critical for low-power standby regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 2.7 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise low-voltage reference for analog sensing and biasing circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C - defines usable thermal envelope on PCB with standard copper pads. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1500 Ω at 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients; lower values improve regulation stability. |
| Noise Density | 1 µV/√Hz - ensures minimal added noise in precision reference paths, especially below 3 kHz bandwidth. |
| Temp. Coefficient αVZ | -0.075 %/°C - quantifies predictable negative drift; allows compensation in multi-stage reference designs. |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤0.5 µA at 1.0 V - guarantees negligible quiescent current draw in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Junction Temp. Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature military, aerospace, and downhole electronics. |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JANTX1N4618D-1?
JANTX1N4618D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with ±1% tolerance at 250 mA test current, as specified in the Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet. This tight tolerance is achieved via post-process binning and supports precision reference applications without external trimming. The 1% tolerance is marked by the 'D' suffix in the part nomenclature and applies across the full qualified temperature range.
Is JANTX1N4618D-1 suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, JANTX1N4618D-1 is rated for junction temperatures from -65 °C to +175 °C and is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 at JANTX level. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 250 °C/W, and power dissipation linearly derates from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C - making it suitable for downhole, engine bay, and avionics applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
What does the 'JANTX' prefix indicate for JANTX1N4618D-1?
The 'JANTX' prefix in JANTX1N4618D-1 denotes qualification to the JANTX reliability level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, which includes extended screening such as burn-in, life testing, and lot traceability beyond baseline JAN requirements. This level is required for high-integrity military and aerospace deployments where field failure risk must be minimized through rigorous process validation.
Does JANTX1N4618D-1 have low noise performance?
Yes, JANTX1N4618D-1 delivers 1 µV/√Hz noise density at its 250 mA test current, as confirmed in the Microsemi datasheet. This low noise is critical in precision analog signal chains - particularly for ADC reference buffers and sensor bias networks - and results from its metallurgically bonded junction and optimized low-voltage Zener structure.
What package type is used for JANTX1N4618D-1?
JANTX1N4618D-1 uses the DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package. The cathode is marked by a band, and the device is intended for through-hole mounting with 10 mm lead length defining thermal resistance junction-to-lead as 250 °C/W. This package supports MIL-qualified reliability and extended temperature operation up to +175 °C junction temperature.
