Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4621D-1 from Microsemi is a 1% tolerance, 3.6 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 JANTXV1N4621D-1 datasheet, JANTXV1N4621D-1 pinout, JANTXV1N4621D-1 application, or JANTXV1N4621D-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±1%), dynamic impedance (1700 Ω @ 250 mA), noise density (1 µV/√Hz), temperature coefficient (−0.065 %/°C), and hermetic DO-35 packaging for radiation-hardened environments.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage across wide current (250 mA test point) and temperature (−65 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its internal metallurgical bond ensures low leakage and long-term stability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
Designed for precision analog references and regulated power rails, it delivers 3.6 V nominal output with ±1% initial tolerance and exhibits negative temperature coefficient behavior, enabling predictable drift compensation in mixed-signal systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4621US | Same electrical specs but in DO-213AA surface-mount package | Requires PCB re-layout for SMT assembly; no axial lead mounting option | Select for automated production where board space and weight are constrained |
| 1N4621UR-1 | Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant, 5% tolerance version in DO-35 | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500 qualification and radiation hardness data | Select for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes not requiring flight certification |
Compared with JANTXV1N4621D-1, JANTXV1N4621US offers identical regulation performance in a smaller footprint but eliminates through-hole flexibility, while 1N4621UR-1 reduces cost and supports RoHS compliance but forfeits military screening and long-term reliability validation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4621D-1?
JANTXV1N4621D-1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with ±1% tolerance, as indicated by the "D" suffix in its part number per MIL-PRF-19500/435 nomenclature. This tight tolerance is verified at 250 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, enabling high-accuracy reference design without post-manufacturing calibration.
Is JANTXV1N4621D-1 suitable for radiation-hardened applications?
Yes, JANTXV1N4621D-1 is inherently radiation-hardened due to its metallurgically bonded construction and hermetic DO-35 glass package. Microsemi MicroNote 050 documents its resistance to total ionizing dose (TID), making JANTXV1N4621D-1 appropriate for low-earth orbit satellite subsystems and nuclear instrumentation.
What is the maximum power dissipation of JANTXV1N4621D-1 at 100 °C ambient?
JANTXV1N4621D-1 is rated for 500 mW at 25 °C, with linear derating beginning at 50 °C. At 100 °C ambient, its usable power drops to approximately 250 mW, calculated using the 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and the specified derating curve in the datasheet.
Does JANTXV1N4621D-1 have low noise characteristics?
Yes, JANTXV1N4621D-1 exhibits a noise density of 1 µV/√Hz at 250 mA, among the lowest in the 1N46xx family. This performance is confirmed in Figure 1 of the T4-LDS-0245-2 datasheet and makes JANTXV1N4621D-1 suitable for precision analog references where broadband noise must be minimized.
What does the "JANTXV" prefix signify for JANTXV1N4621D-1?
The "JANTXV" prefix indicates that JANTXV1N4621D-1 meets MIL-PRF-19500/435 Level JANTXV requirements, including extended temperature screening (−65 °C to +175 °C), burn-in, and lot traceability. It reflects higher reliability than commercial or JAN-grade versions, intended for critical defense and space applications.
