Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4964DUS/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 18 V ±1% (D suffix), dynamic impedance of 4.0 Ω at 65 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 radiation-hardened avionics power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified 18 V regulation stability across wide current (10–50% IZM) and temperature extremes, meets MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V requirements, and supports high-reliability design where failure tolerance is non-negotiable.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled voltage regulation (ΔVZ ≤ 0.75 V between 10% and 50% of IZM), enabled by voidless-glass hermetic sealing and Category I internal metallurgical bonds. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, supporting stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The device exhibits low dynamic impedance (4.0 Ω @ 65 mA), minimal temperature coefficient (+0.085 %/°C), and robust surge capability (9.0 A @ 8.3 ms), making it suitable for transient suppression and reference stabilization in harsh-environment analog power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18 V ±1% at 65 mA - enables precise 18 V rail regulation with minimal drift under load variation |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - defines maximum continuous thermal load before derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 4.0 Ω @ IZT = 65 mA - ensures <100 mV output deviation for ±10 mA current step changes |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA @ VR = 13.7 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 9.0 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands common lightning-induced transients per MIL-STD-461 |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.085 %/°C - predicts <±150 mV total drift over −65 °C to +125 °C operating range |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in space-grade thermal cycling environments |

Package: Hermetically sealed voidless glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb, cathode indicated by band, weight 539 mg, tape-and-reel compliant per EIA-481-B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side reference node | Connected to circuit ground or lowest potential point during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 18 V reference when biased above breakdown with series resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in vacuum or humid environments |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity and thermal cycle reliability >1000 cycles between −65 °C and +175 °C |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage paths and enhances stability under ionizing radiation exposure |
| MIL-PRF-19500/356 JANTXV qualification | Validates screening, testing, and traceability for Class V (space-level) mission-critical applications |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands ≥4 kV HBM without parameter shift-reduces handling precautions in cleanroom assembly |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1%, indicated by the "D" suffix in the part number. This corresponds to a nominal 18 V regulation point with a guaranteed range of 17.82 V to 18.18 V at 65 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening.
Does JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR meet MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements?
Yes, JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V (JANTXV level), including rigorous environmental stress screening, burn-in, and parametric testing. Its voidless-glass construction, Category I metallurgical bond, and triple-layer passivation are all specified to meet this standard.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR is 9.0 A, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 18 V Zener voltage (IZM = PZ / VZ). This value assumes operation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with linear derating to zero at 175 °C junction temperature.
Is JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR is inherently radiation hard, as documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal and tungsten slug construction provide proven tolerance to total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si) and resilience against single-event effects in space and nuclear environments.
What package type does JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR use?
JANTXV1N4964DUS/TR uses the "E" package (also known as D-5B), a surface-mount hermetically sealed voidless glass case with copper end caps and Sn/Pb finish. It features cathode identification via a band and complies with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel standards for automated assembly.
