Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4980US/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 82 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 80 Ω at 15 mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 2 μA at 62.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4980US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4980US/TR pinout, JANTX1N4980US/TR application, or JANTX1N4980US/TR equivalent, this part is selected for critical voltage regulation where extended temperature operation (–65 °C to +175 °C), radiation hardness, and voidless-glass reliability are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 82 V at IZT = 15 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and dynamic impedance of 80 Ω under regulated conditions. Its construction uses internal Category I metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation for enhanced stability.
The JANTX1N4980US/TR delivers stable regulation across 10%–50% of IZM (1.8 A), with forward voltage limited to 1.5 V at 1.0 A and surge current rating of 1.8 A for 8.3 ms square-wave transients. Thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4980US | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter lot traceability; same electrical specs and package | Required for Class V space-qualified designs with zero defect tolerance | Select JANTXV1N4980US when mission-critical radiation testing or extended burn-in is mandated |
| 1N4980US | Commercial-grade version; identical Zener voltage, impedance, and package; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification | Suitable for non-military industrial systems where cost and lead time outweigh radiation/temperature demands | Choose 1N4980US for prototyping or commercial avionics derivatives lacking formal MIL-spec compliance |
Compared with JANTX1N4980US/TR, JANTXV1N4980US adds process-level radiation assurance and lot-level documentation for flight hardware, while 1N4980US removes military screening but retains identical electrical performance and footprint-enabling drop-in validation before final qualification.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4980US/TR?
The JANTX1N4980US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 82 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in MIL-PRF-19500/356. This tolerance applies at the specified test current of 15 mA and ambient temperature of 25 °C. No tighter tolerance suffix (e.g., C or D) is present in the part number, confirming the ±5% specification for JANTX1N4980US/TR.
Does JANTX1N4980US/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes, JANTX1N4980US/TR must be derated linearly above an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 140 °C, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. The derating slope is 5 W / 35 °C = 143 mW/°C. This requirement is explicitly stated in the Maximum Ratings table and applies regardless of mounting method or heatsinking.
Is JANTX1N4980US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
No, JANTX1N4980US/TR features tin/lead (Sn/Pb) terminations and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its end caps use Sn/Pb finish per the Mechanical and Packaging section, and the datasheet does not specify compatibility with peak temperatures exceeding 220 °C. Lead-free assembly requires explicit requalification per MIL-STD-202.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4980US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTX1N4980US/TR is 1.8 A, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 82 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS CURRENT IZM" for the 1N4980US entry, which applies identically to JANTX1N4980US/TR.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4980US/TR?
Polarity on JANTX1N4980US/TR is indicated by a visible cathode band on the glass body. The banded end is the cathode terminal, and the opposite end is the anode. This marking is consistent across all parts in the 1N4954US–1N4996US series and is documented in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the datasheet.
