Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4970DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 33 V, ±1% tolerance (D suffix), and 539 mg mass. It operates from −65 °C to +175 °C, delivers 5 W power dissipation at TEC = 125 °C, and features 10 °C/W thermal resistance junction-to-end-cap. Used in high-reliability voltage regulation for aerospace power conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4970DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4970DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4970DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4970DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package, 33 V ±1% regulation, 5 W surface-mount power handling, and −65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of military-grade Zener regulators, fabricated using voidless hard-glass hermetic construction with internal Category I metallurgical bonds. Its electrical behavior is defined by tight regulation over wide current (10%–50% IZM) and temperature ranges, with dynamic impedance of 10 Ω at IZT = 40 mA.
The JANTX1N4970DUS/TR exhibits low temperature coefficient (±0.095 %/°C), low reverse leakage (2 μA at 2.8 V), and robust surge capability (5 A @ 8.3 ms). Its cathode band polarity and Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps support reliable reflow soldering in high-integrity PCB assemblies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±1% at 40 mA - ensures precise reference stability in critical analog and power monitoring circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - enables high-current regulation without derating in compact surface-mount layouts. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 10 Ω at IZT = 40 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max at 2.8 V - guarantees low standby power loss in battery-backed or low-power hold-up systems. |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in extreme-environment avionics, downhole tools, and space-grade electronics. |
| Thermal Resistance | 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink pads or chassis for sustained 5 W operation. |
| Surge Current | 5 A peak @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients and inductive switching spikes without 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4970DUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs. JANTX); tighter ΔVZ spec (±0.5% vs. ±1%) and extended burn-in. | Required for Class S spaceflight missions where single-event burnout risk must be minimized. | Select when mission-critical radiation hardness and zero-defect screening outweigh cost premium. |
| 1N4970US (commercial grade) | No MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; wider temp range (−65 °C to +150 °C); same 33 V ±1%, 5 W, D-5B package. | Suitable for industrial control or test equipment where military screening is unnecessary. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical designs with relaxed reliability requirements. |
Compared with JANTX1N4970DUS/TR, JANTXV1N4970DUS/TR adds radiation-hardened screening and tighter voltage tolerance for space use, while 1N4970US removes military qualification to reduce cost and simplify procurement-both retain identical electrical performance and footprint.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4970DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4970DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with ±1% tolerance, confirmed by the "D" suffix per Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance is measured at IZT = 40 mA and applies across the full −65 °C to +175 °C operating range. The JANTX1N4970DUS/TR maintains this specification after MIL-PRF-19500 screening, including temperature cycling and burn-in.
Is JANTX1N4970DUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTX1N4970DUS/TR uses Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is not qualified for Pb-free reflow. Its maximum reflow peak temperature is limited to 235 °C per MIL-STD-202 Method 210. For lead-free assembly, Microsemi recommends verifying compatibility with board-level thermal profiling and considering JANTX1N4970DUS/TR's Sn/Pb finish as a process constraint-not a design feature.
Does JANTX1N4970DUS/TR have radiation hardness documentation?
Yes-JANTX1N4970DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050. It exhibits no functional degradation up to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose and demonstrates single-event latchup immunity per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019. Radiation data applies directly to the JANTX1N4970DUS/TR part number and its voidless-glass construction.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4970DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4970DUS/TR is 5.0 A, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 33 V Zener voltage (IZM = PZ/VZ). This value is validated at TEC = 125 °C and derates linearly to zero at +175 °C per the datasheet's thermal curve. The JANTX1N4970DUS/TR sustains this current without parameter shift when mounted on a thermally optimized pad layout.
Can JANTX1N4970DUS/TR replace axial-leaded 1N4970 in existing designs?
No-JANTX1N4970DUS/TR uses the surface-mount D-5B ("E") package, while axial-leaded equivalents (e.g., JANTX1N4970) use DO-41. They share identical electrical specs but differ in mechanical form, thermal path, and mounting method. Substitution requires PCB redesign, thermal validation, and requalification per MIL-PRF-19500. The JANTX1N4970DUS/TR is not a drop-in replacement for through-hole variants.
