Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4621D-1 from Microsemi is a 1% tolerance, 3.6 V, 500 mW metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTX level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4621D-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4621D-1 pinout, JANTX1N4621D-1 application, or JANTX1N4621D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), dynamic impedance (1700 Ω @ 250 mA), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (–0.065 %/°C), and military-grade reliability qualification.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with cathode-banded polarity, delivering stable 3.6 V regulation across current (250 mA test point) and temperature (–65 °C to +175 °C) extremes. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures low thermal resistance (RθJL = 250 °C/W) and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
Designed for precision reference and low-noise biasing, it exhibits minimal capacitance (typical <1.5 pF at 0 V), low leakage (<2.0 µA @ 2.9 V), and tightly controlled temperature coefficient - critical for analog front-ends and voltage references in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4621D-1?
JANTX1N4621D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tight tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/435 screening and supports precision voltage reference applications where calibration margin is constrained.
Is JANTX1N4621D-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4621D-1 is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" RoHS designation applies only to commercial-grade versions (e.g., 1N4621D-1e3); military-grade variants like JANTX1N4621D-1 retain tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 to ensure solderability and reliability in high-reliability assemblies.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for JANTX1N4621D-1?
JANTX1N4621D-1 has a maximum Zener current (IZM) of 83 mA at 25 °C, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 3.6 V Zener voltage. Derating begins linearly above 50 °C lead temperature, reaching zero dissipation at 175 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
How does the temperature coefficient of JANTX1N4621D-1 affect its performance?
JANTX1N4621D-1 has a temperature coefficient of –0.065 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by approximately 2.34 mV per °C rise. This predictable negative drift allows designers to compensate in feedback networks or select complementary components for zero-drift references in wide-temperature applications.
Can JANTX1N4621D-1 be used as a substitute for JANS1N4621D-1?
No, JANTX1N4621D-1 cannot be substituted for JANS1N4621D-1 without design review. While both share identical electrical specs, JANS qualification requires additional radiation hardness testing and lot acceptance procedures per MIL-PRF-19500/435. JANTX is qualified for high-reliability use but lacks the full JANS-level screening required for space-grade applications.
