Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4971DUS/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, hermetically sealed, voidless-glass 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 36 V, ±5% tolerance (D suffix), and maximum dynamic impedance of 220 Ω at 40 mA test current. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and delivers stable voltage regulation in high-reliability military power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4971DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4971DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4971DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4971DUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for aerospace power rail clamping, radiation-hardened reference design, and high-temperature analog stabilization where hermetic integrity and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification are mandatory.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the JANTX-grade 1N49xxUS series, qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 with Category I internal metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation. Its voidless hard-glass construction ensures zero internal delamination under thermal cycling and mechanical shock.
It exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C at 40 mA, reverse leakage ≤2 µA at 27.4 V, and forward voltage ≤1.5 V at 1.0 A - enabling predictable regulation across wide junction temperatures without external compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4971DUS/TR | Higher screening grade (JANTXV per MIL-PRF-19500/356); tighter parametric limits and 100% lot testing | Required for Class H (spaceflight) and critical flight control subsystems | Select when full burn-in, radiation lot acceptance testing, and enhanced screening documentation are mandated |
| 1N4971US | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-spec screening, wider tempco (+0.095 to +0.105 %/°C), no radiation data | Suitable only for non-mission-critical industrial controls below 125 °C ambient | Choose only for cost-sensitive ground-based prototypes where MIL-PRF-19500 compliance is not required |
Compared with JANTX1N4971DUS/TR, JANTXV1N4971DUS/TR adds guaranteed single-event burnout immunity and extended life testing, while 1N4971US omits hermeticity validation and temperature cycling certification - making JANTX1N4971DUS/TR the minimum qualified part for deployed defense electronics.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4971DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4971DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "D" suffix per Microsemi's standard coding. This means the actual measured VZ at 40 mA falls between 34.2 V and 37.8 V across all units at 25 °C, verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening.
Is JANTX1N4971DUS/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
JANTX1N4971DUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is rated for wave and reflow soldering per MIL-STD-202 Method 210. While not lead-free, its Sn/Pb termination is compatible with standard Pb-based assembly lines; conversion to lead-free requires redesign per Microsemi's obsolescence notice SD44A Rev E.
Does JANTX1N4971DUS/TR require derating above 140 °C case temperature?
Yes - JANTX1N4971DUS/TR must be linearly derated from 5 W at TEC = 140 °C to 0 W at 175 °C. For example, at 160 °C case temperature, maximum allowable power is 3.33 W. This derating is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies regardless of airflow or heatsinking.
What is the cathode marking convention for JANTX1N4971DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4971DUS/TR uses a visible band on the glass body to indicate the cathode terminal. The band aligns with the cathode end cap, which connects to the higher-potential side of the circuit during Zener operation. No laser marking or alphanumeric code is applied per Microsemi's "MARKING: None" specification.
Can JANTX1N4971DUS/TR be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - JANTX1N4971DUS/TR is not designed for parallel operation due to mismatched Zener voltage tolerances and dynamic impedances. Even with binning, thermal runaway risk remains high. For >5 W requirements, use a single higher-power Zener or discrete transistor-based shunt regulator per Microsemi Application Note AN-44.
