Product details
Overview
JANTX1N4993CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 300 V ±2% (C suffix), dynamic impedance of 950 Ω at 4 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of −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 JANTX1N4993CUS/TR datasheet, JANTX1N4993CUS/TR pinout, JANTX1N4993CUS/TR application, or JANTX1N4993CUS/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 belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family, fabricated using voidless hard-glass hermetic construction with internal Category I metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation across 10%–50% of maximum Zener current (IZM = 15.6 mA) with ΔVZ ≤ 32 V.
It exhibits low reverse leakage (IR ≤ 2 μA at VR = 228 V), negligible ESD sensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and inherent radiation hardness documented in MicroNote 050. Thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling reliable operation under sustained 5 W dissipation when properly heatsinked.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4993CUS/TR | Higher screening level: JANTXV per MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V; tighter lot acceptance testing and 100% burn-in | Required for flight-critical subsystems where zero infant mortality is mandated (e.g., launch vehicle telemetry) | Select JANTXV1N4993CUS/TR when full Class V screening and extended life test data are contractually required. |
| 1N4993CUS/TR (non-JAN) | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification, no radiation hardness documentation, wider tempco (±0.12%/°C vs. same value but unverified for rad env) | Suitable only for ground-test fixtures or non-safety-critical industrial controls | Choose 1N4993CUS/TR only for cost-sensitive prototyping where military specs are not enforced. |
Compared with JANTX1N4993CUS/TR, the JANTXV variant adds verified burn-in and lot traceability for zero-defect assurance, while the commercial 1N4993CUS/TR omits all military screening and radiation validation-making it unsuitable for deployed aerospace hardware.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTX1N4993CUS/TR?
JANTX1N4993CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 300 V with ±2% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix per Microsemi's standard coding. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C and applies to all units meeting MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening requirements. The JANTX1N4993CUS/TR datasheet specifies ΔVZ ≤ 32 V between 10% and 50% of IZM, confirming tight regulation performance.
Is JANTX1N4993CUS/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
JANTX1N4993CUS/TR uses Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is limited to 235 °C per MIL-STD-202 Method 210, and exposure above this risks glass-to-metal seal integrity. For RoHS-compliant assembly, Microsemi recommends evaluating the JANTX1N4993CUS/TR's Pb-free alternatives only after full process validation-JANTX1N4993CUS/TR itself must be processed with eutectic solder profiles.
Does JANTX1N4993CUS/TR require derating above 140 °C end-cap temperature?
Yes. JANTX1N4993CUS/TR is rated for 5 W dissipation only at TEC = 140 °C; power must be linearly derated to zero at 175 °C. Derating slope is 0.143 W/°C above 140 °C. This reflects its 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance. Engineers must calculate actual end-cap temperature under PCB layout and airflow conditions before assigning JANTX1N4993CUS/TR to high-power roles.
How is polarity identified on JANTX1N4993CUS/TR?
JANTX1N4993CUS/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This matches JEDEC-standard orientation for axial and surface-mount Zeners. No marking appears on the device per spec-only the band-and orientation must be verified optically during placement. The JANTX1N4993CUS/TR package drawing confirms band location relative to end-cap geometry.
What is the surge current rating for JANTX1N4993CUS/TR?
JANTX1N4993CUS/TR is rated for 1.2 A nonrepetitive surge current at an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, per MIL-PRF-19500/356. This value is derived from its 5 W power rating and thermal time constant, and is validated via surge power vs. duration curves in the official SD44A datasheet. Surge testing must respect the 2 μA IR limit at 228 V to avoid latent damage to the JANTX1N4993CUS/TR junction.
