Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4963DUS/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 a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 3.5 Ω at 75 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range from –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 JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless-glass hermetic construction, Category I metallurgical bond, MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, and suitability for radiation-hardened, high-temperature, low-leakage analog regulation tasks.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of surface-mount Zener regulators qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356. Its voidless-glass package uses internal tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, enabling stable operation across –65 °C to +175 °C with no derating until 140 °C end-cap temperature.
It exhibits 3.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 75 mA (IZT), 5 μA maximum reverse leakage at 12.2 V (VR), and a temperature coefficient of +0.08 %/°C - confirming positive VZ drift with temperature, critical for thermal stability analysis in regulated supply feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±5% at 75 mA - defines stable regulation point for biasing or reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 3.5 Ω @ IZT = 75 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max @ VR = 12.2 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.08 %/°C @ IZT - quantifies VZ drift magnitude per degree Celsius rise |
| Max Surge Current | 10 A @ 8.3 ms - supports transient overvoltage clamping in MIL-STD-1275 compliant systems |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in engine bay, avionics bays, and space-qualified enclosures |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with copper end caps and Sn/Pb finish; cathode indicated by band; polarity-critical for correct biasing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node; must be held ≤0.7 V below cathode for forward conduction |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; regulates voltage referenced to anode when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic voidless-glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or vacuum environments |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in MIL-PRF-19500/356. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and 75 mA test current (IZT), and is verified during military screening. Tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require different suffixes (C or D) not present in this part number.
Does JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements?
Yes, JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 as a JANTXV-grade device. It undergoes rigorous screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and parametric verification per the specification, and is listed on the Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) for Class V (space-level) applications.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR is rated for 5 W continuous power dissipation at an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 140 °C. Power must be linearly derated above 140 °C, reaching zero at 175 °C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal interface per the D-5B pad layout in the SD44A datasheet.
Is JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR suitable for radiation-hardened applications?
Yes, JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, exhibiting tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) without functional degradation. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal and Category I metallurgical bond further ensure reliability in low-earth orbit and nuclear-hardened environments.
What does the "DUS/TR" suffix indicate in JANTXV1N4963DUS/TR?
The "DUS/TR" suffix denotes two features: "DUS" specifies the D-5B (E) package with voidless-glass hermetic construction and Sn/Pb terminations; "TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard, enabling automated SMT assembly. This distinguishes it from bulk-packaged variants like JANTXV1N4963US.
