Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4958DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 10.0 V ±1% (D suffix), dynamic impedance of 2.0 Ω at 125 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and regulation element in high-reliability power supply and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4958DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4958DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4958DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4958DUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for aerospace, defense, and downhole instrumentation where radiation hardness, ESD immunity, and long-term parametric stability under thermal cycling are mandatory.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N4954US–1N4996US series, featuring voidless hermetic glass construction with internal Category I metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation across 10%–50% of maximum Zener current (IZM = 475 mA) with ΔVZ ≤ 0.76 V.
It exhibits low thermal resistance (7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap), nonsensitive ESD performance per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and inherent radiation hardness documented in MicroNote 050. The D suffix confirms ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, validated at IZT = 125 mA.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4958DUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-19500/356. | Required for Class S (spaceflight) applications; not needed for ground-based military systems. | Select JANTXV variant only when mission assurance requires extended burn-in and radiation lot acceptance testing. |
| 1N4958US (commercial grade) | No MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; wider temp range (−65 °C to +150 °C); same electrical specs at 25 °C. | Suitable for industrial controls but excluded from defense/aerospace BOMs requiring traceable screening. | Use 1N4958US only in non-military programs where cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability requirements. |
Compared with JANTX1N4958DUS/TR, the JANTXV variant adds radiation lot acceptance and extended environmental stress screening at higher cost, while the commercial 1N4958US omits military screening entirely-making JANTX1N4958DUS/TR the optimal balance of assured reliability and procurement accessibility for Tier 1 defense contractors.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4958DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4958DUS/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1% at 25 °C, confirmed by the "D" suffix per Microsemi's SD44A datasheet. This tolerance is measured at IZT = 125 mA and remains stable across its full operating temperature range due to low temperature coefficient (±0.07%/°C). The JANTX1N4958DUS/TR achieves this via tight process control and post-screening verification.
Is JANTX1N4958DUS/TR suitable for space applications?
JANTX1N4958DUS/TR is radiation-hardened per MicroNote 050 and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356, making it suitable for low-earth orbit missions. However, for Class S spaceflight use, the JANTXV1N4958DUS/TR variant-with additional radiation lot acceptance testing-is required. JANTX1N4958DUS/TR itself is approved for airborne and ground-based defense platforms.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4958DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4958DUS/TR is 475 mA at TEC = 140 °C, derived from its 5 W power rating and 10.0 V nominal Zener voltage. Derating is linear above 140 °C, reaching zero at 175 °C. This value is verified per the SD44A datasheet's Maximum Ratings table and applies only when mounted per recommended pad layout.
Does JANTX1N4958DUS/TR require external ESD protection?
No, JANTX1N4958DUS/TR does not require external ESD protection. It is explicitly characterized as nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, with demonstrated immunity to ≥4 kV HBM. This eliminates the need for TVS diodes or RC filters in most interface circuits, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count for JANTX1N4958DUS/TR implementations.
What package type is used for JANTX1N4958DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4958DUS/TR uses the "E" package (also designated "D-5B"), a hermetically sealed voidless glass surface-mount case with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb. Its dimensions and pad layout are standardized per Microsemi's SD44A datasheet, and it complies with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
