Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4986DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 150 V, ±1% tolerance (D suffix), and 1.4 A maximum continuous Zener current. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTX1N4986DUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4986DUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4986DUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4986DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, 150 V regulation at 12 mA test current, 330 Ω dynamic impedance, and radiation-hardened voidless-glass construction suitable for mission-critical analog reference and overvoltage clamp functions.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the JANTX-grade 1N49xxUS series, featuring Category I internal metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation for enhanced reliability. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation across wide temperature and current ranges, with thermal resistance of 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap.
The 150 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 12 mA, with ΔVZ ≤ 8.0 V between 10% and 50% of IZM. Reverse leakage is limited to 2 μA at 114 V, and forward voltage is 1.50 V at 1.0 A - confirming robust bidirectional surge handling capability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4986DUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-19500/356 | Required for Class S spaceflight hardware where single-event burnout (SEB) margin is critical | Select when mission assurance level exceeds standard JANTX; same electrical specs and footprint |
| 1N4986DUS/TR | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; wider temp range not guaranteed | Suitable only for non-mission-critical industrial controls with ambient temp < +105 °C | Use only if radiation tolerance, ESD immunity, and extended temperature operation are not required |
Compared with JANTX1N4986DUS/TR, JANTXV1N4986DUS/TR adds process-level radiation validation and tighter parametric screening, while 1N4986DUS/TR omits military qualification entirely - making the JANTX grade the optimal balance of assured reliability and cost for defense avionics.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTX1N4986DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4986DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "D" suffix in the part number. This tight tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening and ensures minimal calibration overhead in precision reference designs where JANTX1N4986DUS/TR is deployed.
Is JANTX1N4986DUS/TR suitable for space applications?
Yes - JANTX1N4986DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356. Its voidless hermetic glass construction and Category I metallurgical bond make JANTX1N4986DUS/TR appropriate for low-Earth orbit missions where total ionizing dose and single-event effects must be mitigated.
What is the maximum surge current rating for JANTX1N4986DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4986DUS/TR supports a nonrepetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 1.4 A for an 8.3 ms square wave, as specified in the electrical characteristics table. This rating reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without degradation - a key parameter when using JANTX1N4986DUS/TR in load-dump protection circuits.
Does JANTX1N4986DUS/TR require derating above 125°C?
Yes - JANTX1N4986DUS/TR is rated for 5 W dissipation at TEC = 125 °C and must be linearly derated to zero at 175 °C. The thermal resistance is 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, so designers must calculate board-level thermal impedance to ensure JANTX1N4986DUS/TR remains within safe operating limits under worst-case ambient and power conditions.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4986DUS/TR?
JANTX1N4986DUS/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode, which connects to the higher-potential node during Zener operation. This marking is visible under standard optical inspection and aligns with JEDEC-standard orientation for surface-mount Zener diodes like JANTX1N4986DUS/TR.
