Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4986US/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 330 Ω at 10 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range from –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 JANTX1N4986US/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4986US/TR pinout, JANTX1N4986US/TR application, or JANTX1N4986US/TR equivalent, this part is selected for mission-critical voltage regulation where hermetic sealing, radiation tolerance, wide thermal stability, and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 150 V at IZT = 8 mA, exhibiting a maximum dynamic impedance of 330 Ω at that current and 1.5 Ω at IZK = 1 mA. Its temperature coefficient is +0.105 %/°C, indicating positive drift with rising temperature.
The diode uses voidless hard-glass encapsulation with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb, achieving thermal resistance of 7 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap) and surge capability of 0.75 A at 8.3 ms. It complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD robustness and is inherently radiation-hardened per MicroNote 050.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4986US | Commercial-grade version; same VZ, ZZ, and package but lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening and radiation data | Approved for non-mission-critical industrial controls; not qualified for flight or nuclear environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs radiation tolerance and extended temperature validation needs |
| JANTXV1N4986US | Higher-screened variant with extended burn-in, additional thermal shock cycles, and tighter VZ tolerance (±2%) | Required for manned spacecraft avionics and DoD Class H/V applications demanding zero latent defects | Select when system-level reliability requires zero-failure probability over 15+ years in orbit |
Compared with JANTX1N4986US/TR, 1N4986US offers identical electrical performance at lower cost but no radiation or military screening, while JANTXV1N4986US adds tighter tolerances and enhanced process controls for ultra-high-integrity systems-enabling trade-offs between qualification depth, lifetime assurance, and procurement budget.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4986US/TR?
JANTX1N4986US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the MIL-PRF-19500/356 specification. This tolerance applies at the test current IZT = 8 mA and ambient temperature of 25 °C. The JANTX1N4986US/TR does not include tighter tolerance suffixes (e.g., 'C' for ±2%); those are available only in the JANTXV grade.
Is JANTX1N4986US/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
JANTX1N4986US/TR features Sn/Pb–finished copper end caps and is qualified for traditional eutectic solder processes. While it can withstand peak reflow temperatures up to 235 °C for ≤60 seconds, Microsemi documentation does not validate its reliability under Pb-free reflow profiles (e.g., SAC305 with 260 °C peak). For lead-free assembly, JANTX1N4986US/TR requires process qualification per J-STD-020.
Does JANTX1N4986US/TR have documented radiation hardness data?
Yes - JANTX1N4986US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with confirmed performance stability up to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose. No parametric shifts exceeding specification limits were observed in VZ, IR, or ZZ after irradiation, making JANTX1N4986US/TR suitable for low-earth orbit and terrestrial nuclear environments.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTX1N4986US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4986US/TR is 1.0 A, derived from its 5 W power rating and 150 V VZ. This assumes operation at TEC = 140 °C with linear derating to zero at 175 °C. At 25 °C ambient, practical IZM is limited by PCB thermal design; typical design practice restricts steady-state current to ≤0.75 A for long-term reliability.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4986US/TR?
JANTX1N4986US/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node in Zener regulation applications. This band is visible under standard optical inspection and remains legible after conformal coating or potting, per MIL-PRF-19500/356 marking requirements.
