FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4623-1/TR?
JANTX1N4623-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V with ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its nomenclature per Microsemi's part numbering system. This tight tolerance is achieved through post-production screening and is maintained across the full -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. The JANTX1N4623-1/TR datasheet specifies this value at 250 mA test current under thermal equilibrium conditions.
Is JANTX1N4623-1/TR RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4623-1/TR is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS qualified devices. The JANTX1N4623-1/TR uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and retains lead content required for high-reliability solder joint integrity in military applications.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for JANTX1N4623-1/TR?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4623-1/TR is 77 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and 4.3 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at 25 °C ambient with proper thermal management; derating begins linearly at 50 °C lead temperature and reaches zero at 175 °C. The JANTX1N4623-1/TR datasheet confirms this limit in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does JANTX1N4623-1/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTX1N4623-1/TR is inherently radiation hard, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It exhibits tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effects (SEE) due to its metallurgically bonded glass construction and junction design. While not individually tested per MIL-STD-883, its family-level radiation performance is validated for use in low-earth orbit and terrestrial high-radiation environments without additional shielding.
What does the "TR" suffix mean in JANTX1N4623-1/TR?
"TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, enabling automated pick-and-place assembly. The JANTX1N4623-1/TR is supplied in reels containing specified quantities (typically 2,000 or 5,000 units), with carrier tape conforming to industry-standard pitch and pocket dimensions. This format supports high-volume manufacturing while preserving MIL-spec traceability and handling integrity for the JANTX1N4623-1/TR device.
