Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified, voidless hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 15 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 3.5 Ω at 75 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and regulation element in high-reliability power supply rails for aerospace avionics and radiation-hardened instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package, −65 °C to +175 °C operation, 15 V Zener voltage tolerance, and 5 W thermal derating profile - all critical for mission-critical analog voltage stabilization.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the JANTXV-grade 1N49xxUS series, featuring triple-layer passivation and Category I internal metallurgical bonds per MIL-PRF-19500/356. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation across 10%–50% of IZM (315 mA), with voltage change ΔVZ ≤ 1.0 V under that current range.
The "DUS" suffix confirms surface-mount "E" (D-5B) package with copper end caps and Sn/Pb finish; the "TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B. Polarity is marked by cathode band; no marking appears on the body per specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 15 V ±5% at IZT = 75 mA - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias, used for reference stability in feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins; zero at 175 °C junction. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | 3.5 Ω @ IZT = 75 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Max Reverse Leakage IR | 5 μA @ VR = 11.4 V - confirms tight leakage control below regulation threshold, critical for low-power standby circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted to heat-spreading PCB copper or chassis. |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in extreme environments including space vacuum and jet engine bays. |
| Surge Current IZSM | 12 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands short-duration overvoltage events without degradation, e.g., lightning-induced transients. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb. Weight: 539 mg. Cathode indicated by band; no part marking on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during Zener operation; carries full regulator current. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / high-side connection | Connected to unregulated input; maintains stable 15 V relative to anode under reverse bias above VZ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass construction | Eliminates internal delamination risk and moisture ingress, ensuring long-term parameter stability in humid or vacuum environments. |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Guarantees mechanical integrity of internal junction under shock, vibration, and thermal cycling per MIL-PRF-19500/356. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Enables safe handling and assembly without special grounding protocols, reducing manufacturing yield loss. |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for low-dose-rate space applications without additional shielding. |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (EIA-481-B) | Supports automated SMT placement with verified alignment and feed reliability for high-volume production. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4962US | Commercial-grade version; same 15 V/5 W specs but not MIL-PRF-19500 qualified; no JANTXV screening. | Lacks radiation hardness validation and extended temperature screening; unsuitable for flight or nuclear use. | Select only for non-mission-critical terrestrial industrial systems where cost outweighs reliability requirements. |
| JANTX1N4962DUS/TR | Same die and package, but screened to JANTX (not JANTXV) level - lower burn-in and environmental test severity. | Meets MIL-PRF-19500/356 but with reduced life test duration and fewer thermal cycles than JANTXV grade. | Appropriate for ground-based defense systems where full JANTXV qualification is unnecessary but military traceability is required. |
Compared with 1N4962US and JANTX1N4962DUS/TR, JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR provides the highest confidence in long-term parametric stability under combined thermal, radiation, and mechanical stress - essential for systems where field failure is unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at IZT = 75 mA and 25 °C ambient. The "D" suffix in the part number does not indicate tighter tolerance for this variant - only "C" (±2%) and "D" (±1%) suffixes apply to select voltages in other series, not JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR.
Is JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR features Sn/Pb terminations per specification and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its copper end caps with tin/lead finish are rated for peak temperatures up to 235 °C. Use of lead-free profiles exceeding 240 °C risks intermetallic formation and bond degradation. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult Microchip's current-generation Zener offerings.
Does JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes - JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR must be linearly derated above 140 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. Derating slope is 5 W / 35 °C = 143 mW/°C. This reflects its 7 °C/W thermal resistance and is mandatory for reliability in high-temperature deployments such as downhole or engine-mounted electronics.
What is the forward voltage drop of JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR?
The forward voltage of JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR is specified as 1.50 V at 1.0 A forward current. This value is relevant for reverse-polarity protection or dual-use configurations where the device may conduct forward during fault conditions. It is not used during normal Zener regulation mode.
Can JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR replace axial-leaded 1N4962 in existing designs?
No - JANTXV1N4962DUS/TR uses the surface-mount "E" (D-5B) package and is not a drop-in replacement for axial-leaded 1N4962. The latter requires through-hole mounting and has different thermal and mechanical interfaces. Board redesign and layout changes are required to migrate from axial to surface-mount variants.
