Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4122C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 36 V, ±2% tolerance metallurgically bonded glass Zener diode in DO-35 package, qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/435 JANTXV level for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace and defense power supplies, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4122C-1 datasheet, JANTXV1N4122C-1 pinout, JANTXV1N4122C-1 application, or JANTXV1N4122C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36 V nominal Zener voltage at 250 mA test current, 200 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.01 µA maximum reverse leakage at 28.8 V, ±2% voltage tolerance, and -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with cathode band marking polarity. Its metallurgical bond construction ensures stable long-term Zener voltage performance under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C and delivers low noise density (1 µV/√Hz typical at lower voltages), making it suitable for analog reference and low-noise biasing applications where stability across wide temperature ranges is critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4122US-1 | Same 36 V Zener voltage and JANTXV qualification, but in surface-mount DO-213AA package | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; no axial lead handling | Select when board space is constrained and automated placement is required |
| JANTXV1N4122D-1 | Identical electrical specs except ±1% Zener tolerance instead of ±2% | Higher accuracy needed for metrology-grade references; tighter TC matching may be required | Select when absolute voltage accuracy dominates cost and availability considerations |
Compared with JANTXV1N4122C-1, the JANTXV1N4122D-1 offers improved voltage accuracy at the cost of tighter process control, while the 1N4122US-1 preserves reliability and performance in a compact surface-mount form factor-neither is pin-compatible due to differing packages.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4122C-1?
JANTXV1N4122C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a ±2% tolerance, meaning its actual regulation voltage falls between 35.28 V and 36.72 V at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This tighter tolerance than standard 5% Zeners supports higher-accuracy reference designs in aerospace and defense applications where JANTXV1N4122C-1 is commonly deployed.
Is JANTXV1N4122C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTXV1N4122C-1 is not RoHS compliant. The "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, which is only available on commercial-grade versions of this series-not on JANTXV-qualified parts. JANTXV1N4122C-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating per MIL-STD-750 and maintains full MIL-PRF-19500/435 qualification, making JANTXV1N4122C-1 suitable for legacy and high-reliability programs requiring Pb-based finishes.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4122C-1?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4122C-1 is 0.01 µA at 28.8 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance bias networks and precision reference dividers where JANTXV1N4122C-1 serves as the primary regulation element.
Does JANTXV1N4122C-1 require derating above 25 °C?
Yes, JANTXV1N4122C-1 must be linearly derated above 25 °C ambient: its 500 mW power rating decreases to zero at 175 °C junction temperature. For typical PCB mounting, derating begins at 25 °C, with usable power dropping to ~375 mW at 62.5 °C ambient. Thermal design using JANTXV1N4122C-1 must account for RθJA = 300 °C/W and RθJL = 250 °C/W to avoid exceeding safe operating limits.
How is polarity marked on JANTXV1N4122C-1?
JANTXV1N4122C-1 uses a cathode band (colored stripe) to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential side of the circuit during Zener regulation. The opposite (unbanded) end is the anode and connects to ground or lower potential. This marking follows JEDEC DO-35 standards and is verified in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet for JANTXV1N4122C-1.
