For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4620D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4620D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4620D-1 application, or JANTX1N4620D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), dynamic impedance (1650 Ω), thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and military qualification level.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V at 250 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of –0.075 %/°C and low noise density ideal for reference circuits requiring stable DC bias under varying load and temperature conditions.
Its metallurgical bond construction ensures robust junction integrity, while hermetic glass DO-35 packaging provides immunity to moisture and contaminants-critical for operation across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range in harsh environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4620D-1 | Higher qualification level (JANTXV vs. JANTX); tighter screening, extended temperature testing, and enhanced lot traceability | Required for programs specifying MIL-PRF-19500/435 Class V screening (e.g., missile guidance subsystems) | Select when full JANTXV screening documentation and extended burn-in are mandated by system-level reliability requirements |
| 1N4620UR-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads; RoHS-compliant matte tin plating | Suitable for automated SMT assembly and space-constrained PCBs where through-hole mounting is impractical | Choose for high-volume production with reflow soldering and where board real estate limits axial component placement |
Compared with JANTX1N4620D-1, JANTXV1N4620D-1 adds screening rigor without altering electrical behavior, while 1N4620UR-1 shifts to surface-mount form factor-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages, making them functional alternatives rather than drop-in replacements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4620D-1?
JANTX1N4620D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with ±1% tolerance, denoted by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature per MIL-PRF-19500/435. This tight tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and ensures predictable regulation without post-production trimming in high-precision reference designs.
Is JANTX1N4620D-1 suitable for space applications?
Yes, JANTX1N4620D-1 is inherently radiation-hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level, making it suitable for low-earth orbit missions where total ionizing dose up to 100 krad(Si) is expected. Its hermetic DO-35 package further ensures long-term reliability in vacuum environments.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for JANTX1N4620D-1?
The maximum Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4620D-1 is 85.0 mA, calculated from its 500 mW power rating and 3.3 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). Derating begins linearly at lead temperature >50 °C, reaching zero dissipation at 175 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Does JANTX1N4620D-1 have RoHS compliance?
No, JANTX1N4620D-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade variants-not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS levels. JANTX1N4620D-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750.
How does the noise performance of JANTX1N4620D-1 compare to lower-voltage Zeners in the same family?
JANTX1N4620D-1 exhibits 1 µV/√Hz noise density at 250 mA, consistent with other sub-4 V devices in the 1N4614–1N4627 series. This is significantly lower than higher-voltage parts (e.g., 6.8 V and above), which reach 40 µV/√Hz-making JANTX1N4620D-1 optimal for ultra-low-noise analog references.
