Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4989CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, voidless-hermetically-sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 200 V ±1% (C suffix), dynamic impedance of 500 Ω at 5 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 JANTX1N4989CUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4989CUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4989CUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4989CUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for mission-critical voltage regulation where hermetic sealing, radiation tolerance, ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and stable regulation across extreme thermal cycling are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N4954US–1N4996US family and uses voidless hard-glass construction with internal Category I metallurgical bonds. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers tight voltage regulation (±1%) with low temperature coefficient (+0.110%/°C) and maintains stable dynamic impedance (500 Ω) across its specified 5 mA test current.
The JANTX1N4989CUS/TR operates with forward voltage ≤1.50 V at 1.0 A and exhibits maximum reverse leakage of 2 μA at 152 V - enabling reliable clamping in high-impedance bias networks. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap), supporting sustained 5 W dissipation under controlled PCB thermal management.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4989CUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANTXV vs JANTX); tighter lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-19500/356. | Required for spaceflight missions with zero-defect reliability mandates; not needed for terrestrial defense platforms. | Select JANTXV variant only when radiation environment exceeds 50 krad(Si) or mission duration >5 years. |
| 1N4989US | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-qualified screening, no radiation hardness validation, wider temp coefficient (±0.120%/°C). | Suitable for industrial test equipment but excluded from DoD procurement due to lack of JAN/JANTX qualification. | Use 1N4989US only in non-military, non-safety-critical applications with ambient temperature <+125 °C. |
Compared with JANTX1N4989CUS/TR, the JANTXV variant adds extended burn-in and radiation assurance at higher cost and longer lead time, while the 1N4989US omits all military screening and environmental validation - making the JANTX grade the optimal balance of assured reliability and procurement feasibility for defense electronics.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4989CUS/TR?
The JANTX1N4989CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 200 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C and verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 test requirements. The JANTX1N4989CUS/TR achieves this precision via tight process control of the voidless-glass Zener junction and Category I metallurgical bonding.
Does JANTX1N4989CUS/TR require derating above 140 °C end-cap temperature?
Yes, JANTX1N4989CUS/TR must be linearly derated above 140 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, so maintaining safe operation requires PCB-level thermal management - such as copper pour under the end caps and forced-air cooling - to limit TEC. Derating curves are defined in the SD44A datasheet revision E.
Is JANTX1N4989CUS/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
No, JANTX1N4989CUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is not qualified for Pb-free reflow. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is 235 °C for 10 seconds, consistent with Sn63/Pb37 eutectic profiles. Lead-free assembly would exceed glass-to-metal seal integrity limits and void the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification. Use only with SnPb solder paste and compatible thermal profiles.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4989CUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current IZM for JANTX1N4989CUS/TR is 9.0 mA at 25 °C ambient, decreasing with temperature per the derating curve. At 140 °C end-cap temperature, IZM drops to approximately 5.5 mA to maintain 5 W dissipation. This value is derived from the 200 V VZ rating and power limit, and is validated in the electrical characteristics table on page 2 of SD44A.pdf.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4989CUS/TR?
Polarity on JANTX1N4989CUS/TR is marked by a visible cathode band on the glass body - the banded end is the cathode terminal. Since the device uses a voidless-glass hermetic package with no surface marking other than the band, visual inspection under 10× magnification confirms orientation prior to placement. The anode connects to the unmarked end cap, and correct polarity is critical to avoid forward-conduction failure during Zener regulation.
