Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4106C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 12 V metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with ±2% voltage tolerance, 250 mA Zener test current, and 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in military-grade power supply reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4106C-1 datasheet, JANTXV1N4106C-1 pinout, JANTXV1N4106C-1 application, or JANTXV1N4106C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-qualified reliability, low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (+0.080 %/°C), and hermetically sealed axial-leaded construction for high-stability analog references.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator in reverse-bias breakdown mode, with Zener voltage specified at 12.0 V ±2% under 250 mA test current. Its metallurgical bond ensures stable junction characteristics across -65°C to +175°C operating range and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
The diode exhibits 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 5.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 9.2 V, and thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead - enabling stable regulation under varying load and ambient conditions in high-reliability analog subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4106C-1?
JANTXV1N4106C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 12.0 V with a ±2% tolerance, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to +175°C and verified during MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification testing. The JANTXV1N4106C-1 maintains this tight tolerance without requiring external trimming or calibration.
Is JANTXV1N4106C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTXV1N4106C-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per the datasheet, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade variants, not for JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, or JANS reliability levels. The JANTXV1N4106C-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating on its axial leads to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
What is the maximum Zener current rating for JANTXV1N4106C-1?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4106C-1 is 9.2 mA, calculated from its 500 mW power rating and 12 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at 25°C lead temperature; derating begins linearly at 50°C and reaches zero at 175°C. The JANTXV1N4106C-1 is rated for continuous DC operation within this limit under specified thermal conditions.
Does JANTXV1N4106C-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTXV1N4106C-1 is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, a documented characteristic of its metallurgically bonded glass construction. While not individually tested for TID or SEE in every lot, the JANTXV1N4106C-1's process and structure are qualified for use in radiation environments typical of low-earth orbit and nuclear instrumentation - confirmed by historical flight heritage and process-level qualification data.
What package type does JANTXV1N4106C-1 use?
JANTXV1N4106C-1 uses the DO-35 (also designated DO-204AH) axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass package. Its dimensions conform to JEDEC standards: body diameter 1.42–2.29 mm, body length 3.56–5.08 mm, and lead length 25.4–38.1 mm. This package provides mechanical robustness, hermeticity, and thermal performance required for MIL-qualified operation.
