Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4975DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 51 V, ±5% tolerance, 27 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA test current, and rated for operation from –65 °C to +175 °C - used in high-reliability voltage regulation and reference circuits for aerospace power conditioning and radiation-hardened instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4975DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4975DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4975DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4975DUS/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification status, thermal resistance (10 °C/W), surge current rating (3.0 A @ 8.3 ms), and hermetic glass package details essential for mission-critical design validation.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the JANTX-grade 1N4954US–1N4996US series, featuring voidless hard-glass construction with tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish. It employs Category I internal metallurgical bonds per MIL-PRF-19500/356 and exhibits low temperature coefficient (±0.095 %/°C) and robust ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Designed for stable regulation across wide current (10–50% IZM) and temperature ranges, it delivers 51 V Zener voltage at 25 mA IZT with 27 Ω dynamic impedance and maintains ≤4.0 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) between 10% and 50% of maximum Zener current (IZM = 930 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V at 25 mA test current - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops in DC-DC converters and precision references. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - requires heatsinking or board-level thermal management above ambient to sustain full rating. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 27 Ω at IZT = 25 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients; lower value improves regulation fidelity. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA at VR = 38.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby or low-power bias networks. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJ-EC) | 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - enables thermal modeling for PCB pad layout and reliability prediction under sustained power dissipation. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 3.0 A peak @ 8.3 ms half-sine - supports transient overvoltage clamping without degradation in pulse-loaded systems. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | ±0.095 %/°C - allows accurate voltage drift estimation over –65 °C to +175 °C operating range for flight-critical designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard-glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with cathode indicated by band, copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, and weight of 539 mg. Tape-and-reel compliant per EIA-481-B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential node in reverse-biased Zener configuration; carries full regulator current during operation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked with band; connected to regulated voltage node; sustains 51 V reverse bias and dissipates up to 5 W in regulation mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-19500/356 Qualified | JANTX grade ensures screening, testing, and traceability per military specification - mandatory for spaceflight and defense avionics. |
| Voidless Hermetic Glass | Eliminates internal delamination risk under thermal cycling and vacuum exposure - critical for long-term reliability in orbital environments. |
| Category I Metallurgical Bond | Guarantees mechanical integrity of internal die attach under shock/vibration - validated for launch vehicle and missile guidance systems. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Passes MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - enables safe handling and assembly without special grounding protocols in cleanroom production. |
| Radiation Hardness | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) per MicroNote 050 - suitable for unhardened satellite subsystems requiring >100 krad(Si) resilience. |
Applications
| Aerospace Power Conditioning | Defense Avionics Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating auxiliary 51 V rail in satellite power distribution units exposed to thermal vacuum and radiation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in isolated DC-DC converter feedback network.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability Zener clamp protecting PMT anode supply from ESD and switching surges. Use Value: Withstands 3.0 A surge current at 8.3 ms and passes MIL-STD-750 ESD testing - preventing false triggers during vibration-induced arcing. |
Use Scenario: Establishing calibrated 51 V threshold in radiation monitoring detectors deployed in reactor containment zones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-hardened voltage reference for pulse-height discrimination in scintillation counters. Use Value: Inherent TID hardness (>100 krad) and hermetic seal prevent parameter shift or leakage increase after prolonged neutron/gamma exposure. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4975US | Commercial-grade version; same 51 V VZ, 27 Ω ZZ, and D-5B package but lacks MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening and JANTX qualification. | Approved only for non-military industrial use; not permitted in DoD or NASA BOMs requiring JANTX traceability. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs formal qualification requirements and radiation/ESD performance is secondary. |
| JANTXV1N4975DUS/TR | Higher-screened JANTXV grade with extended temperature testing (–65 °C to +175 °C) and tighter lot acceptance criteria per MIL-PRF-19500/356. | Required for Class S (space-qualified) and critical flight hardware where failure modes demand zero latent defects. | Choose when system-level reliability mandates enhanced screening beyond JANTX, especially for launch-critical subsystems. |
Compared with JANTX1N4975DUS/TR, 1N4975US omits military screening and traceability while retaining identical electrical behavior, whereas JANTXV1N4975DUS/TR adds rigorous environmental stress screening - making the former suitable for cost-driven prototypes and the latter for human-rated spacecraft avionics.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4975DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4975DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, consistent with the "no suffix" designation in the 1N4954US–1N4996US family. Tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require C or D suffixes, which do not apply to this specific JANTX-grade part.
Is JANTX1N4975DUS/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow processes?
JANTX1N4975DUS/TR features copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its specified thermal profile assumes tin-lead eutectic solder; use with Pb-free processes may compromise hermetic seal integrity and voidless glass bond reliability.
Does JANTX1N4975DUS/TR meet radiation hardness requirements for space applications?
Yes - JANTX1N4975DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, demonstrating resilience to total ionizing dose (TID) levels exceeding 100 krad(Si), making it suitable for low-earth orbit and deep-space instrument subsystems without additional shielding.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4975DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4975DUS/TR is 930 mA at TEC = 125 °C, derived from its 5 W power rating and 51 V Zener voltage (P = VZ × IZM). Derating is linear above 125 °C to zero at 175 °C per datasheet specifications.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4975DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4975DUS/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node in standard reverse-biased Zener regulation configurations.
