Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4623C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 4.3 V Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTX reliability level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 2% voltage tolerance, 1600 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and -0.050 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in military-grade power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4623C-1 datasheet, JANTX1N4623C-1 pinout, JANTX1N4623C-1 application, or JANTX1N4623C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (±2%), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), hermetic DO-35 packaging, MIL-qualified thermal stability (-65 °C to +175 °C), and metallurgically bonded junction reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener regulator with a nominal breakdown voltage of 4.3 V at 250 mA test current (IZT), exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient of -0.050 %/°C - enabling stable reference generation across wide temperature ranges in high-reliability analog subsystems.
Its metallurgically bonded glass construction ensures low leakage (IR ≤ 2.0 µA at VR = 3.6 V), minimal capacitance (typical < 2 pF), and radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - critical for aerospace, defense, and downhole instrumentation where parametric drift and single-event effects must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 4.3 V ±2% at IZT = 250 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at TC = 25 °C, derated linearly to zero at 175 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB layout |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1600 Ω at IZT = 250 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤2.0 µA at VR = 3.6 V - ensures low quiescent current in standby or sensing circuits |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz at IZT = 250 mA - supports low-noise analog references in precision ADC/DAC biasing |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | -0.050 %/°C - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in temperature-critical designs |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +175 °C - qualifies for extended-range operation in avionics and space-qualified systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4623US-1 | Same electrical specs but in surface-mount DO-213AA package; no axial leads | Requires SMT reflow process; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical retention | Select for space-constrained PCBs where automated assembly and reduced board area are priorities |
| JANTXV1N4623C-1 | Identical electrical specs with enhanced JANTXV screening (including burn-in and life test) | Required for mission-critical flight hardware where failure probability must be <10⁻⁶ per 1000 hrs | Select when full MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTXV compliance is mandated by system specification |
Compared with JANTX1N4623C-1, the 1N4623US-1 offers footprint reduction at the cost of mechanical robustness and hand-soldering compatibility, while JANTXV1N4623C-1 adds screening rigor for ultra-high-reliability deployments - neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages or qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4623C-1?
JANTX1N4623C-1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the "C" suffix in its nomenclature per MIL-PRF-19500/435. This means its measured VZ at IZT = 250 mA falls within 4.214 V to 4.386 V at 25 °C. The tighter tolerance reduces calibration effort in precision analog circuits compared to standard ±5% variants like JANTX1N4623-1.
Is JANTX1N4623C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTX1N4623C-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., with "e3" suffix) are available only for commercial-grade parts, not for JAN/JANTX/JANTXV/JANS qualified devices. JANTX1N4623C-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 to ensure solderability and reliability under military thermal cycling requirements.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTX1N4623C-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for JANTX1N4623C-1 is 2.0 µA at VR = 3.6 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-backed monitoring circuits and ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference nodes.
Can JANTX1N4623C-1 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, JANTX1N4623C-1 is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-35 (DO-204AH) glass case and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, consider the 1N4623US-1 in DO-213AA package - which shares identical electrical specs but requires reflow soldering and lacks axial mechanical retention.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for JANTX1N4623C-1?
JANTX1N4623C-1 has a thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) of 250 °C/W when mounted with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, per Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of T4-LDS-0245-2 Rev. 1. This value guides heatsinking decisions for sustained 500 mW operation and informs derating curves when lead temperature exceeds 50 °C.
