Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4975US/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 nominal Zener voltage of 51 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 27 Ω at 25 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4975US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4975US/TR pinout, JANTX1N4975US/TR application, or JANTX1N4975US/TR equivalent, this part is selected for MIL-PRF-19500/356-compliant systems requiring radiation-hardened, voidless-glass Zener regulation with stable VZ across wide thermal and current ranges.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation (ΔVZ ≤ 4.0 V between 10% and 50% of IZM) and low dynamic impedance (27 Ω @ IZT = 25 mA). Its voidless glass construction and Category I metallurgical bond ensure mechanical robustness and long-term stability under thermal cycling and shock.
It exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.095%/°C at IZT, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog references. Reverse leakage remains ≤2 μA at 38.8 V, and forward voltage is specified at 1.50 V @ 1.0 A - critical for bidirectional protection and clamping integrity.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4975US | Higher screening grade (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-19500/356 | Required for Class S spaceflight or nuclear-hardened systems where single-event burnout margin is critical | Select JANTXV1N4975US when full MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening and radiation test reports are mandated |
| 1N4975US | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-qualified screening; same electrical specs and package | Suitable for industrial prototypes or non-mission-critical test fixtures where cost and lead time outweigh qualification needs | Choose 1N4975US for bench validation or non-certified subsystems where military traceability is not required |
Compared with JANTX1N4975US/TR, JANTXV1N4975US adds radiation test documentation and enhanced lot traceability but shares identical Zener voltage, impedance, and thermal performance; 1N4975US retains all electrical behavior but omits military screening - making it viable for early-stage design verification without certification overhead.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4975US/TR?
JANTX1N4975US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in MIL-PRF-19500/356. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with test current IZT = 25 mA and is verified per qualified lot sampling. Tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require different suffixes (C or D), which are not present in the JANTX1N4975US/TR designation.
Does JANTX1N4975US/TR have a documented radiation hardness specification?
Yes, JANTX1N4975US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose (TID). Its voidless glass construction and Category I metallurgical bond contribute to this performance, making it suitable for low-Earth orbit satellite applications without additional shielding.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4975US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4975US/TR is 930 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 51 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value is valid at TEC = 140 °C and must be derated linearly to zero at 175 °C per the datasheet's thermal curve.
Is JANTX1N4975US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
No - JANTX1N4975US/TR features tin/lead (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 for 10 seconds, consistent with Sn63/Pb37 process windows. Lead-free assembly requires explicit requalification per MIL-STD-202.
How does the dynamic impedance of JANTX1N4975US/TR affect regulation accuracy?
JANTX1N4975US/TR has a dynamic impedance of 27 Ω at IZT = 25 mA. This value directly determines output voltage deviation under load current changes: ΔV = ZZT × ΔI. For example, a 10 mA change in Zener current causes ~0.27 V shift - critical for precision reference designs where regulation error must stay within ±0.5 V over operational range.
