Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4964DUS/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 18 V ±1% (D suffix), dynamic impedance of 4.0 Ω at 65 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 JANTX1N4964DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4964DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4964DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4964DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1% voltage tolerance, voidless-glass hermetic construction, Category I metallurgical bond, radiation-hardened behavior per MicroNote 050, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class JANTX.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable output voltage across wide current (10–50% of IZM) and temperature ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (4.0 Ω) and tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ ≤ 0.75 V between 10% and 50% IZM) ensure minimal output variation under load transients.
The "D" suffix confirms ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, and its "E" package (D-5B) uses tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish. Cathode polarity is marked by a band, and it exhibits ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 18 V ±1% at IZT = 65 mA - enables precise voltage clamping in regulated supplies |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports high-stress operation without derating until 175 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | 4.0 Ω @ IZT = 65 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation under varying load |
| Max Reverse Leakage IR | 5 μA @ VR = 13.7 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power modes |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.085 %/°C @ IZT - provides predictable, low-drift voltage reference over full military temp range |
| Surge Current IZSM | 9.0 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands transient overvoltage events such as EFT or inductive kickback |
| Forward Voltage VF | 1.50 V @ 1.0 A - defines conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with copper end caps, Sn/Pb finish, and cathode indicated by band. Weight: 539 mg. Tape-and-reel compliant per EIA-481-B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to ground or low-side reference in Zener regulator configuration | Provides low-resistance path for forward conduction; must be routed to minimize parasitic inductance in surge applications |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; connected to input voltage rail in Zener shunt regulator topology | Carries full Zener current during regulation; requires thermal relief and adequate copper area for 5 W dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Category I metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity and thermal stability under extreme thermal cycling (–65 °C to +175 °C) |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage and contamination-induced parameter drift in high-humidity or particle-rich environments |
| Radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 | Validated performance in total ionizing dose (TID) environments up to 100 krad(Si), suitable for satellite systems |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >4 kV HBM without parameter shift-reduces handling precautions and test screening overhead |

What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4964DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4964DUS/TR is 294 mA at TEC = 140 °C. This value is derived from its 5 W power rating and 18 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PD/VZ). Derating is linear above 140 °C, reaching zero at 175 °C junction temperature.
Does JANTX1N4964DUS/TR meet radiation hardness requirements?
Yes, JANTX1N4964DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It is characterized for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance up to 100 krad(Si) with no functional degradation or parameter shift-making it suitable for low-earth orbit and deep-space satellite applications where radiation exposure is unavoidable.
