Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4977DUS/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 62 V at 20 mA test current, ±1% tolerance (D suffix), and operating junction temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4977DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4977DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4977DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4977DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless-glass package, Category I metallurgical bond, radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class JANTX.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled dynamic impedance (42 Ω at 20 mA) and low voltage regulation drift (ΔVZ ≤ 5.0 V between 10% and 50% of IZM). Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling stable regulation under sustained 5 W dissipation at end-cap temperature ≤140 °C.
The device features triple-layer passivation, nonsensitive ESD performance per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and cathode polarity indicated by a band. It uses tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish in the "E" (D-5B) surface-mount package, with no marking and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4977DUS/TR | Higher screening level: JANTXV adds extended temperature life test and enhanced lot traceability | Required for Class V spaceflight hardware where zero defect history is mandated | Select JANTXV1N4977DUS/TR only if program specification explicitly requires JANTXV screening |
| 1N4977US | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification, wider temp range (−65 °C to +150 °C), no radiation data | Suitable for industrial test equipment or non-critical avionics where cost and lead time outweigh radiation/military requirements | Use 1N4977US only in non-mission-critical designs with relaxed reliability and environmental specs |
Compared with JANTX1N4977DUS/TR, JANTXV1N4977DUS/TR provides higher assurance for zero-failure missions but at increased cost and longer lead time, while 1N4977US offers faster availability and lower price for commercial-grade robustness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4977DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4977DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "D" suffix per Microsemi's part numbering convention. This tight tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening and applies at 25 °C with IZT = 20 mA. The JANTX1N4977DUS/TR maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range with defined temperature coefficient.
Is JANTX1N4977DUS/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANTX1N4977DUS/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, exhibiting tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) ≥100 krad(Si) without functional degradation. This property arises from its voidless-glass hermetic construction and Category I metallurgical bond, and is confirmed in JANTX-level qualification testing-not derived from inference or generic family claims.
What package type does JANTX1N4977DUS/TR use?
JANTX1N4977DUS/TR uses the "E" package, also known as D-5B, a surface-mount hermetically sealed voidless glass case with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished with Sn/Pb. It conforms to EIA-481-B tape-and-reel packaging and has no part marking-cathode polarity is indicated solely by a band.
How does JANTX1N4977DUS/TR differ from commercial 1N4977US?
JANTX1N4977DUS/TR differs from 1N4977US in three key ways: it is screened to MIL-PRF-19500/356 JANTX level (including burn-in and temperature cycling), rated for +175 °C max junction temperature (vs. +150 °C), and documented for radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. The JANTX1N4977DUS/TR also carries tighter process controls and full lot traceability required for defense contracts.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4977DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4977DUS/TR is 930 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 62 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value is valid at end-cap temperature ≤140 °C and assumes linear derating to zero at +175 °C junction temperature, as specified in the SD44A datasheet.
