Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 1.0 Ω at 220 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, voidless-glass hermetic construction, Category I metallurgical bond, –65 °C to +175 °C operation, and 5 W thermal derating profile.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation across 10–50% of IZM (765 mA), exhibiting ΔVZ ≤ 0.04 V under that load variation. Its low dynamic impedance (1.0 Ω) and minimal temperature coefficient (+0.04%/°C) enable stable reference performance in wide-temperature environments.
The "D-5B" (E) package uses tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, delivering 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance and 1.8 °C/W thermal impedance at 10 ms. It is nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and inherently radiation-hardened per MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 220 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. No tighter tolerance suffix (e.g., "C" for ±2% or "D" for ±1%) is present in the part number, confirming the ±5% grade.
Does JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes, JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR must be derated linearly above 140 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. Its 5 W rating is valid only at TEC = 140 °C; for example, at 155 °C TEC, maximum allowable power drops to 2.5 W. Thermal design must account for this slope using the stated 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap resistance.
Is JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for traditional eutectic solder reflow. While it can survive peak temperatures up to 260 °C for short durations, Microsemi does not certify it for Pb-free assembly per JEDEC J-STD-020. For RoHS-compliant builds, consult Microchip's obsolescence notice and consider approved alternatives.
What is the surge current rating of JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR is rated for a nonrepetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 20 A at an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as confirmed in the SD44A datasheet. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or catastrophic failure, supporting use in MIL-STD-1275 and DO-160 lightning protection circuits.
How is polarity marked on JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4955DUS/TR uses a cathode band to indicate polarity - the banded end is the cathode, which must be connected to the higher-potential node during Zener operation. The unmarked end is the anode. This marking is visible on the voidless glass body and aligns with JEDEC-standard orientation for surface-mount Zeners in the "E" package.
