Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4984DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode with 120 V nominal zener voltage, ±1% tolerance (D suffix), 5 W power rating at 140 °C end-cap temperature, and 170 Ω dynamic impedance at 10 mA test current. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power regulation circuits for aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4984DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4984DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4984DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4984DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, voidless-glass construction, -65 °C to +175 °C operating range, and Category I metallurgical bond - critical for radiation-hardened and extended-temperature deployments.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage regulation across 10%–50% of IZM (ΔVZ ≤ 10 V), enabling stable reference generation under varying load and thermal conditions. Its 170 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 10 mA ensures minimal output voltage deviation during transient current shifts.
The "D" suffix confirms ±1% zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, and the "JANTX" grade certifies compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening including temperature cycling, hermeticity, and burn-in. The "US" suffix denotes the E-package (D-5B) surface-mount glass construction with tungsten slugs and Sn/Pb end caps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 120 V ±1% at IZT = 10 mA - enables precise voltage clamping or reference in 115–125 V rail monitoring. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports continuous operation in high-ambient environments without derating below 140 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 170 Ω @ IZT = 10 mA - limits output voltage shift to <1.7 V per 10 mA current change in regulation loop. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 91.2 V - ensures negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +175 °C - validated for use in satellite power subsystems and engine-mounted avionics. |
| Thermal Resistance | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper pour or heatsink for sustained 5 W dissipation. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1.0 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients per MIL-STD-461 CS115 without degradation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb, cathode indicated by band, weight 539 mg, and EIA-481-B tape-and-reel compatible.

|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential node when used as shunt regulator. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / high-side connection | Connected to regulated voltage node; band marking identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4984DUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX): includes additional lot acceptance tests per MIL-PRF-19500/356 Table I. | Required for Class H (spaceflight) programs where zero-defect reliability is mandated. | Select JANTXV1N4984DUS/TR only if program spec explicitly requires JANTXV-level screening. |
| 1N4984DUS/TR (non-JAN) | No military qualification; commercial-grade screening, no MIL-PRF-19500/356 compliance. | Suitable for industrial test equipment or non-safety-critical instrumentation with lower reliability requirements. | Choose 1N4984DUS/TR only for cost-sensitive, non-military applications where MIL-spec is not contractually required. |
Compared with JANTX1N4984DUS/TR, JANTXV1N4984DUS/TR adds lot-level radiation testing and extended life testing but shares identical electrical specs and package; 1N4984DUS/TR omits all military screening yet retains same zener voltage and thermal performance for benign environments.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4984DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4984DUS/TR has a nominal zener voltage of 120 V with ±1% tolerance at 25 °C, confirmed by the "D" suffix per Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision reference circuits without post-manufacturing calibration. The JANTX1N4984DUS/TR maintains this specification across its full military temperature range when operated within rated power limits.
Does JANTX1N4984DUS/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes - JANTX1N4984DUS/TR is rated for 5 W dissipation only at end-cap temperature (TEC) ≤ 140 °C. Above that, power must be linearly derated to zero at 175 °C, yielding ~4.5 W at 150 °C and ~3.5 W at 165 °C. This derating curve is defined in the Maximum Ratings table of the SD44A datasheet and applies regardless of ambient temperature or airflow.
Is JANTX1N4984DUS/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
No - JANTX1N4984DUS/TR features Sn/Pb (tin/lead) terminations per the datasheet, and its glass body is not qualified for peak reflow temperatures exceeding 220 °C. Lead-free assembly would risk thermal fracture of the voidless glass seal and void formation at the tungsten slug interface. Use only with Sn63/Pb37 solder profile and maximum 215 °C peak.
What does the "US" suffix indicate in JANTX1N4984DUS/TR?
The "US" suffix in JANTX1N4984DUS/TR designates the E-package (D-5B) surface-mount configuration: hermetically sealed voidless glass with tungsten slugs and Sn/Pb end caps. It distinguishes this version from axial-leaded equivalents (e.g., JANTX1N4984D) and confirms compatibility with SMT pick-and-place and reflow processes per EIA-481-B tape-and-reel standards.
How is cathode polarity marked on JANTX1N4984DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4984DUS/TR uses a visible band on the glass body to identify the cathode terminal, consistent with industry-standard diode marking. The band aligns with the cathode end cap, which connects to the higher-potential node in shunt regulation applications. No laser marking or alphanumeric codes are present - polarity verification relies solely on this band per the Mechanical and Packaging section of SD44A.
