Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4621C-1 from Microsemi is a 500 mW, 3.6 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, qualified to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/435, with 2% voltage tolerance, 1700 Ω dynamic impedance at 250 mA test current, and -0.065 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and regulation in military-grade power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4621C-1 datasheet, JANTXV1N4621C-1 pinout, JANTXV1N4621C-1 application, or JANTXV1N4621C-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (2%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-lead), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and MIL-qualified reliability level - all critical for high-stability analog references in aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage regulator with metallurgically bonded construction for enhanced reliability. Its Zener voltage is specified at 3.6 V ±2% under 250 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of 1700 Ω and temperature coefficient of -0.065 %/°C - indicating stable low-voltage regulation across temperature extremes.
It exhibits minimal capacitance (typical <2 pF per Figure 3), low noise density (1 µV/√Hz), and is non-sensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. The DO-35 axial-leaded glass package ensures hermetic sealing and radiation hardness per Microsemi MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4621US-1 | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package; no axial leads | Required for automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or manual repair | Select when board space constraints or reflow-only processes prohibit axial-leaded components |
| JANS1N4621C-1 | Identical electrical and mechanical specs, but qualified to JANS (highest MIL level) with additional screening | Required for mission-critical systems where burn-in, lot acceptance testing, and radiation assurance are mandated | Select only when JANS-level documentation, traceability, and extended reliability validation are contractually required |
Compared with JANTXV1N4621C-1, JANTXV1N4621US-1 offers identical regulation performance in a surface-mount form factor - enabling higher-density layouts but requiring reflow-compatible PCB design - while JANS1N4621C-1 adds full JANS screening without altering electrical behavior, making it suitable only where highest-tier qualification is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4621C-1?
JANTXV1N4621C-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with ±2% tolerance, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature. This tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, and remains stable across its qualified temperature range of -65 °C to +175 °C due to its metallurgical bond construction.
Is JANTXV1N4621C-1 RoHS compliant?
No, JANTXV1N4621C-1 is not RoHS compliant. Per Microsemi documentation, RoHS-compliant versions (suffix "e3") are available only for commercial-grade variants (blank reliability level), not for JANTXV-qualified parts. JANTXV1N4621C-1 uses traditional tin-lead plating to meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4621C-1?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4621C-1 is 83.0 mA, calculated from its 500 mW power rating and 3.6 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at 25 °C lead temperature; derating applies above 50 °C per the linear curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Does JANTXV1N4621C-1 have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTXV1N4621C-1 is inherently radiation hard as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its metallurgically bonded DO-35 glass construction provides proven TID tolerance suitable for low-earth orbit and nuclear facility applications without requiring additional shielding or derating.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for JANTXV1N4621C-1?
JANTXV1N4621C-1 has a thermal resistance of 250 °C/W junction-to-lead when measured with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, per MIL-PRF-19500/435 test conditions. This value enables accurate thermal modeling for heatsinking and layout in high-reliability power regulation circuits.
