Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4965US/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 4.5 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 rails and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4965US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4965US/TR pinout, JANTX1N4965US/TR application, or JANTX1N4965US/TR equivalent, this part is selected for aerospace power sequencing, radiation-hardened sensor biasing, and MIL-PRF-19500/356-compliant voltage clamping where voidless-glass construction and Category I metallurgical bonding are mandatory.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation across 10%–50% of maximum Zener current (IZM = 8.0 A), exhibiting ΔVZ ≤ 1.5 V under that load variation. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature when mounted on thermally optimized PCB pads per D-5B footprint.
The JANTX1N4965US/TR uses triple-layer passivation and tungsten slugs within a voidless hard-glass case, with copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb. Polarity is marked by a cathode band, and it complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD robustness and Microsemi MicroNote 050 for inherent radiation hardness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±5% at IZT = 65 mA - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PZ) | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load before derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 4.5 Ω @ IZT = 65 mA - determines voltage regulation stability under varying load current |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 15.2 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 8.0 A @ 8.3 ms square wave - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.085 %/°C @ IZT - quantifies voltage drift with temperature in precision reference designs |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.50 V @ 1.0 A - defines conduction loss if used in forward-biased protection or clamp configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4965US | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter tempco (±0.075 %/°C vs ±0.085 %/°C); same VZ, PZ, package | Required for programs demanding extended burn-in, 100% lot testing, and enhanced radiation assurance | Select JANTXV1N4965US when full JANTXV qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/356 is mandated |
| 1N4965US | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-qualified screening; same electrical specs and D-5B package | Suitable only for non-military industrial prototypes or cost-sensitive ground-test hardware | Choose 1N4965US for development boards or non-flight subsystems where MIL-spec is not required |
Compared with JANTX1N4965US/TR, JANTXV1N4965US adds process controls for mission-critical reliability, while 1N4965US removes screening overhead but retains identical Zener behavior-enabling phased qualification paths from prototype to flight hardware.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4965US/TR?
The JANTX1N4965US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and IZT = 65 mA. Tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require different suffixes (C or D) and are not applicable to the JANTX1N4965US/TR variant.
Does JANTX1N4965US/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes, JANTX1N4965US/TR must be derated linearly above an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 140 °C, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. The derating slope is –35.7 mW/°C, calculated from 5 W over the 35 °C interval. Thermal design must account for this using the 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance.
Is JANTX1N4965US/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
No, JANTX1N4965US/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is not qualified for lead-free reflow profiles. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is limited to 235 °C per MIL-STD-202 Method 210, and lead-free processes exceeding 260 °C may compromise the hermetic seal or metallurgical bond integrity.
What is the maximum surge current rating for JANTX1N4965US/TR?
JANTX1N4965US/TR is rated for a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 8.0 A under an 8.3 ms square-wave pulse, as defined in the SD44A datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal mass and is validated per MIL-PRF-19500/356 transient stress requirements.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4965US/TR?
JANTX1N4965US/TR uses a visible cathode band on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This marking is consistent across all 1N49xxUS-series devices and aligns with JEDEC-standard diode orientation conventions.
