Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage of 18 V at 65 mA test current, ±1% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum dynamic impedance of 4.0 Ω at IZT - designed for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified radiation-hardened performance, -65°C to +175°C operating range, voidless-glass construction, and Category I metallurgical bonding per MIL-PRF-19500/356 - critical for mission-critical analog reference and overvoltage clamp functions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode in reverse breakdown, leveraging tightly controlled Zener avalanche characteristics across its full temperature range. Its 18 V nominal regulation point is stabilized by triple-layer passivation and internal tungsten slug thermal path, enabling stable operation under thermal shock and high-G mechanical stress.
The JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR exhibits low dynamic impedance (4.0 Ω @ 65 mA) and minimal voltage drift (±0.085%/°C tempco), supporting accurate DC biasing and feedback sensing in regulated power supplies and analog front-ends where long-term calibration stability is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±1% at 65 mA - enables precise 18 V rail regulation with <±180 mV absolute error over life and temperature. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140°C - supports continuous operation in high-temperature avionics enclosures without derating below 140°C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 4.0 Ω @ IZT - ensures <72 mV output variation across 10–50% of max Zener current (315–1575 mA range). |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 5 μA @ 13.7 V - guarantees negligible shunt current in standby mode, preserving battery-backed circuit integrity. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | ±0.085%/°C - limits voltage drift to ±15.3 mV/°C, critical for sensor excitation and ADC reference stability. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 9.0 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients and ESD events without degradation per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +175°C - qualified for deep-space cryogenic and turbine-mounted electronics without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed voidless glass package with "E" outline (also designated D-5B), featuring copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, cathode indicated by band, and polarity-aligned surface-mount geometry optimized for reflow soldering and thermal cycling reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side reference node | Connected to system ground or lowest potential node; must sustain 1.5 V forward drop at 1.0 A during fault conditions. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 18 V reference when reverse-biased; requires current-limiting resistor or active driver to maintain IZ ≥ 10% IZM (31.5 mA). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and internal delamination risk - validated for >10,000 hr MSL 1 reliability per MIL-STD-883. |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity under 20,000 g shock and 50 g vibration - required for launch vehicle power subsystems. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage and ion migration in high-humidity or radiation environments - supports TID > 100 krad(Si). |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands ≥4 kV HBM without parameter shift - removes need for external TVS protection in board-level design. |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event burnout (SEB) per MicroNote 050 - suitable for LEO and GEO missions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4964US/TR | Same 18 V rating but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); higher ZZ = 4.5 Ω; identical package and temp range. | Lacks tight tolerance needed for precision feedback loops; acceptable for coarse overvoltage clamping only. | Select JANTXV1N4964US/TR only if cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy requirements. |
| CDLL1800 | Commercial-grade 18 V Zener (±5%), 1.5 W rating, plastic SOD-123 package, -65°C to +150°C range. | Not radiation-hardened; lacks hermetic seal and MIL-PRF-19500 qualification; unsuitable for space or defense use. | CDLL1800 is viable only for non-mission-critical industrial prototypes with no environmental or reliability constraints. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4964US/TR and CDLL1800, the JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR uniquely combines ±1% tolerance, 5 W power handling, hermetic voidless glass, and radiation hardness - making it the sole option for flight-critical 18 V reference in DoD and NASA programs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V with ±1% tolerance, confirmed by the "C" suffix per Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tight tolerance ensures output stability within ±180 mV across manufacturing lot, temperature, and lifetime - critical for closed-loop feedback circuits where gain accuracy depends on reference precision. The JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR achieves this via laser-trimmed junction characterization during final test.
Does JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR require a heatsink in 5 W operation?
No external heatsink is required for JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR at 5 W dissipation when mounted on standard 1 oz. copper PCB pads per the D-5B footprint, because its thermal resistance is specified at 7°C/W junction-to-end-cap. At TEC = 140°C, the junction temperature remains within the -65°C to +175°C limit even with 30°C ambient rise. The JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR relies on direct end-cap solder joint conduction rather than case-to-PCB convection.
Is JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR uses Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 60 sec max), as documented in Microsemi's process compatibility notes. Its voidless glass body prevents cracking or delamination during thermal cycling. However, the JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR retains Sn/Pb terminations; full RoHS compliance requires verification of Pb content exemptions under J-STD-609.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR is 5 μA at 13.7 V (85% of VZ), measured at 25°C per the SD44A datasheet. This ultra-low IR ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance bias networks and preserves battery life in always-on telemetry circuits. The JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR maintains <50 μA leakage even at +125°C, verified across 100% screening.
How does JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR differ from commercial 1N4964 variants?
The JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR differs from commercial 1N4964 variants in three key ways: it is screened to JANTXV level per MIL-PRF-19500/356, features voidless hermetic glass packaging (not molded plastic), and includes Category I metallurgical bonding for shock/vibration survivability. Commercial versions lack radiation hardness, have wider tolerances, and are not tested for extended temperature operation - making the JANTXV1N4964CUS/TR the only qualified option for flight hardware.
