Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4969CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V at 40 mA test current, ±1% tolerance (C suffix), 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, analog signal conditioning circuits, and overvoltage protection stages.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4969CUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4969CUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4969CUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4969CUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for critical voltage stabilization where long-term parametric stability, radiation hardness, and zero voids in glass sealing are mandatory - especially in aerospace, defense avionics, and downhole instrumentation.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N4954US–1N4996US family and uses voidless hermetically sealed hard-glass construction with internal Category I metallurgical bonds. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation across wide current (10%–50% IZM) and temperature ranges, with low dynamic impedance (190 Ω at 40 mA) and minimal voltage drift (±0.090 %/°C).
The "E" package (D-5B outline) features tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, enabling robust thermal conduction (10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap) and compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles. Polarity is marked by cathode band; no surface marking is applied per specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30 V ±1% at 40 mA - enables precise 30 V rail clamping or reference generation with tight initial accuracy. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - supports sustained regulation under high ambient conditions with linear derating to zero at 175 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 190 Ω at IZT = 40 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation against load transients. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA at VR = 22.8 V - guarantees minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance bias networks. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | ±0.090 %/°C - provides predictable, low-drift behavior across full military temperature range. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.5 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands short-duration overvoltage events without degradation. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.5 V @ 1.0 A - defines forward conduction threshold for bidirectional protection or clamp configurations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard-glass "E" package (JEDEC D-5B outline), with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb. Cathode indicated by band; no surface marking. 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 configuration | Provides low-resistance path for forward conduction; must be routed with adequate thermal relief for 1.5 V @ 1 A dissipation. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in reverse breakdown; connected to regulated node or voltage source | Carries full Zener current during regulation; polarity band identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and internal delamination risk - certified for 20+ year field life in sealed enclosures. |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity under shock/vibration up to 500 g and thermal cycling from −65 °C to +175 °C. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage and contamination-induced parameter shift in high-humidity or ionizing environments. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - no handling precautions required beyond standard Class 1A protocols. |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Validated per MicroNote 050 - functional up to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose without parameter degradation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV per MIL-PRF-19500/356); tighter lot acceptance testing and 100% burn-in. | Required for Class H (spaceflight) and mission-critical flight control systems. | Select when extended reliability validation and zero-defect history are mandated. |
| 1N4969CUS/TR (non-JAN) | No military qualification; commercial-grade screening; same electrical specs and package. | Suitable for industrial test equipment or non-safety-critical embedded systems. | Select for cost-sensitive designs where MIL-spec is not contractually required. |
Compared with JANTX1N4969CUS/TR, the JANTXV variant adds burn-in and enhanced lot traceability for space-grade assurance, while the commercial 1N4969CUS/TR retains identical Zener performance but omits military screening - enabling trade-offs between lifecycle assurance and procurement cost.

The JANTX1N4969CUS/TR belongs to Microsemi's MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified Zener diode product line, engineered specifically for voltage regulation in mission-critical systems where hermeticity, radiation tolerance, and parametric stability are non-negotiable.
FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4969CUS/TR?
JANTX1N4969CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is guaranteed at 25 °C and 40 mA test current per MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements. The JANTX1N4969CUS/TR maintains this accuracy across its full operating temperature range due to its low temperature coefficient of ±0.090 %/°C.
Is JANTX1N4969CUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTX1N4969CUS/TR uses Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for traditional eutectic solder reflow. While it can survive peak temperatures up to 235 °C, Microsemi does not certify it for Pb-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020). For lead-free assembly, the JANTX1N4969CUS/TR requires process validation per customer-specific thermal profiling and may need alternative termination evaluation.
Does JANTX1N4969CUS/TR require derating above 125 °C?
Yes - JANTX1N4969CUS/TR is rated for 5 W at TEC = 125 °C and must be linearly derated to zero power at 175 °C. Derating slope is 100 mW/°C above 125 °C. This reflects its 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance and ensures safe operation within its −65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature limit. The JANTX1N4969CUS/TR datasheet specifies this derating curve explicitly.
What is the maximum surge current rating for JANTX1N4969CUS/TR?
JANTX1N4969CUS/TR is rated for a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 5.5 A at an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per MIL-STD-750 Method 3011 and allows the JANTX1N4969CUS/TR to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or catastrophic failure - critical for lightning and EFT protection in avionics and industrial controls.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4969CUS/TR?
JANTX1N4969CUS/TR uses a cathode band to indicate polarity - the banded end is the cathode terminal. Since the device is unmarked per specification, visual identification relies solely on this band. Correct orientation is essential: cathode connects to the higher-potential node during Zener operation. The JANTX1N4969CUS/TR package outline (D-5B) places the band adjacent to one end cap, matching standard SMT placement fiducials.
