Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4620D-1 from Microsemi is a 1% tolerance, 3.3 V, 500 mW 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.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4620D-1 datasheet, JANTXV1N4620D-1 pinout, JANTXV1N4620D-1 application, or JANTXV1N4620D-1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 1% Zener voltage tolerance, 1650 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, -0.075 %/°C temperature coefficient, and hermetically sealed DO-35 axial-leaded construction for stable regulation under thermal stress.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator with cathode-banded polarity, requiring reverse-bias operation where the banded end is positive relative to the anode. Its metallurgical bond ensures low noise density (1 µV/√Hz at 3.3 V) and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It delivers stable regulation across wide current ranges (IZK near knee to IZM = 85 mA), with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length and linear derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 3.3 V ±1% at 250 mA - enables precise reference generation for analog circuits requiring tight voltage stability. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW at 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact, unheatsinked designs with linear derating above 50 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 1650 Ω at 250 mA - indicates moderate AC impedance for ripple suppression in low-noise power rails. |
| Temperature Coefficient αVZ | -0.075 %/°C - provides predictable, negative drift over temperature for compensated reference designs. |
| Noise Density ND | 1 µV/√Hz at 3.3 V - ensures minimal broadband noise injection into sensitive analog signal chains. |
| Max Reverse Current IR | 3.5 µA at 2.5 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or low-power bias networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4620US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads. | Required for PCB space-constrained designs where through-hole mounting is prohibited. | Select when board layout mandates SMT assembly and thermal pad access is available for lead soldering. |
| 1N4620UR-1 | Same 3.3 V/1% spec in DO-216 tabbed SMT package; RoHS-compliant commercial grade only. | Suitable for non-military industrial controls where MIL-spec screening is unnecessary. | Choose for cost-sensitive commercial programs needing identical regulation performance without JANTXV screening. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4620D-1, JANTXV1N4620US-1 offers identical regulation but requires rework of PCB land patterns and thermal management for SMT leads, while 1N4620UR-1 sacrifices radiation hardness and extended temperature screening for lower unit cost and RoHS compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4620D-1?
JANTXV1N4620D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V with a ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, enabling high-accuracy voltage referencing in regulated power supplies and precision analog circuits where tighter regulation than standard 5% Zeners is required.
Is JANTXV1N4620D-1 suitable for high-temperature operation?
Yes, JANTXV1N4620D-1 is rated for junction temperatures from -65 to +175 °C and features linear power derating from 500 mW at 25 °C to zero at 175 °C. Its metallurgically bonded DO-35 glass package maintains parameter stability under thermal cycling, making JANTXV1N4620D-1 appropriate for engine-mounted avionics and downhole drilling electronics where sustained high-temperature operation is mandatory.
Does JANTXV1N4620D-1 require external heat sinking?
No, JANTXV1N4620D-1 does not require external heat sinking under typical operating conditions. With a thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 250 °C/W at 10 mm lead length and 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4, it dissipates up to 500 mW in still air when leads are properly terminated to copper pours. JANTXV1N4620D-1 relies on lead conduction rather than case radiation, so adequate PCB copper area around leads is sufficient for thermal management.
What is the noise performance of JANTXV1N4620D-1?
JANTXV1N4620D-1 exhibits a noise density of 1 µV/√Hz at 3.3 V and 250 mA, measured in the 1–3 kHz band per Figure 1. This ultra-low noise stems from its metallurgical bond construction and makes JANTXV1N4620D-1 ideal for low-noise analog references in instrumentation amplifiers, sensor signal chains, and precision data converters where Zener noise would otherwise degrade effective resolution.
How is polarity marked on JANTXV1N4620D-1?
JANTXV1N4620D-1 uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential side of the circuit for proper Zener regulation. The opposite (unbanded) end is the anode and connects to ground or the lower-potential node. This marking complies with JEDEC standards and is visible under standard optical inspection during assembly verification of JANTXV1N4620D-1.
