Overview
JANTX1N4618D-1/TR from Microsemi is a 2.7 V, 1% tolerance, 500 mW axial-leaded Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTX reliability level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, used for precision voltage regulation in military-grade power supply reference and biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4618D-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4618D-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4618D-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4618D-1/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, noise density, and military qualification details critical for high-reliability analog design and legacy system sustainment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of –0.075 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 1500 Ω at IZT. Its metallurgically bonded construction ensures stable regulation across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.
Designed for low-noise applications, JANTX1N4618D-1/TR delivers maximum noise density of 1 μV/√Hz at its rated Zener voltage and supports stable regulation under wide current variation (IZK to IZM), with reverse leakage limited to 0.5 µA at VR = 2.2 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4618US-1 | Same 2.7 V/1% spec but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads. | Used where board space is constrained and reflow assembly is required instead of through-hole soldering. | Select 1N4618US-1 only when migrating to SMT layout; not drop-in compatible due to package and thermal path differences. |
| JAN1N4618D-1 | Identical electrical specs and DO-35 package, but qualified only to JAN (not JANTX) level per MIL-PRF-19500/435. | Approved for less demanding military subsystems where full JANTX screening (e.g., burn-in, life test) is not mandated. | Choose JAN1N4618D-1 for cost-sensitive programs meeting baseline MIL-spec without extended reliability testing. |
Compared with JANTX1N4618D-1/TR, 1N4618US-1 enables PCB area reduction but sacrifices thermal performance and repairability, while JAN1N4618D-1 reduces procurement cost and lead time at the expense of screened reliability margin for mission-critical functions.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of JANTX1N4618D-1/TR?
JANTX1N4618D-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 2.7 V with ±1% tolerance at 250 mA test current, as confirmed in the Microsemi T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet Table on Page 3. This tight tolerance is enabled by the "D" suffix in the part number and supports precision reference applications without post-calibration.
Is JANTX1N4618D-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4618D-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade parts; JANTX-level devices retain tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and are exempt from RoHS under military procurement waivers.
What is the maximum power dissipation and derating behavior of JANTX1N4618D-1/TR?
JANTX1N4618D-1/TR has a rated average power dissipation of 500 mW at 25 °C, linearly derated to zero at 175 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet. Derating begins at 50 °C for lead temperature and follows a slope of –6.25 mW/°C, ensuring safe operation under sustained thermal stress in enclosed enclosures.
What does the "TR" suffix indicate in JANTX1N4618D-1/TR?
"TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. The base part JANTX1N4618D-1 is supplied in bulk or ammo pack; adding "TR" confirms reel format with standard quantities and orientation-critical for high-volume manufacturing of military PCBs.
How is polarity marked on JANTX1N4618D-1/TR, and how must it be connected?
JANTX1N4618D-1/TR uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode to operate in Zener breakdown mode. Reverse connection (band to ground) results in forward conduction (~1.1 V drop), not regulation.
