Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4955CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V at 220 mA test current, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum dynamic impedance of 1.0 Ω at IZT - used in precision voltage regulation for avionics power conditioning and radiation-hardened sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4955CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4955CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4955CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4955CUS/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified high-reliability voltage clamping across -65°C to +175°C, meets MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V requirements, and supports design assurance in space-qualified power supplies and defense-grade analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This Zener regulator operates in reverse breakdown with metallurgically bonded tungsten slugs and triple-layer passivation, enabling stable voltage reference behavior under extreme thermal cycling and ionizing radiation exposure. Its voidless glass package ensures zero internal delamination risk during thermal shock or long-term storage.
The device exhibits low temperature coefficient (±0.04%/°C), tight regulation (ΔVZ ≤ 1.0 V between 10%–50% IZM), and robust surge capability (20 A @ 8.3 ms), making it suitable for transient suppression in high-integrity DC rails where failure modes must be eliminated.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4955US/TR | Same 6.2 V rating but ±5% tolerance (no suffix); higher ZZ = 1.0 Ω vs. 1.0 Ω (identical), same surge rating | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost; less stringent screening than JANTXV grade | Select JANTXV1N4955US/TR only when ±5% tolerance suffices and full JANTXV screening is unnecessary |
| 1N4955US | Commercial-grade version; no MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; TJ = -65°C to +175°C retained; same electrical specs | Not approved for flight hardware or safety-critical systems; lacks radiation hardness documentation and lot traceability | Use 1N4955US only in non-mission-critical industrial prototypes or ground-test fixtures |
Compared with JANTXV1N4955CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4955US/TR offers identical voltage and surge performance but relaxes tolerance and screening, while 1N4955US removes all military qualifications - making the C-suffix JANTXV variant the sole choice for radiation-tolerant, fully screened aerospace deployments.
