Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4621-1/TR from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 3.6 V ±5% metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation. It delivers 250 mA Zener test current, 1700 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range in precision reference and power-supply feedback circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4621-1/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4621-1/TR pinout, JANTX1N4621-1/TR application, or JANTX1N4621-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-qualified reliability grade, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), tight thermal coefficient (–0.065 %/°C), and axial-leaded DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be biased positive relative to the anode for regulation. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable voltage output under thermal cycling and radiation exposure, supporting operation up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The device exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 2.0 µA at 2.0 V and maintains 3.6 V regulation at 250 mA test current. Its dynamic impedance of 1700 Ω at IZT and temperature coefficient of –0.065 %/°C enable predictable performance in analog reference and overvoltage clamp applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4621-1/TR?
JANTX1N4621-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the JEDEC-registered specification and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with the diode in thermal equilibrium and is maintained across the full JANTX qualification screen.
Is JANTX1N4621-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4621-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per the nomenclature guide on page 2 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1, the "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance and is only available on commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4621-1e3). JANTX1N4621-1/TR uses tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and retains lead content required for military reliability standards.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4621-1/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4621-1/TR is 2.0 µA at VR = 2.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value is measured at 25 °C and reflects the device's ability to maintain low standby current in clamp or reference configurations.
Does JANTX1N4621-1/TR require special handling for ESD sensitivity?
No, JANTX1N4621-1/TR is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, as stated in the Applications/Benefits section on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This eliminates the need for ESD-protective packaging, wrist straps, or ionizers during standard handling and assembly operations.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4621-1/TR?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTX1N4621-1/TR is 250 °C/W when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from the body, as listed in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value supports thermal modeling for PCB layout and heatsinking decisions in high-reliability power regulation circuits.
