Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, voidless-hermetically-sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 20 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 4.5 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 high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package with tungsten slugs, Category I metallurgical bond, and −65 °C to +175 °C operational envelope for mission-critical systems.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of surface-mount Zener regulators, specifically configured for stable 20 V regulation under wide-current and wide-temperature conditions. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal and triple-layer passivation ensure immunity to moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in harsh environments.
The JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR uses an internal Category I metallurgical bond and exhibits 4.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 65 mA, 1.5 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, and a temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C - enabling predictable voltage shift across its full −65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±5% at 65 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight tolerance suitable for reference-grade applications |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 4.5 Ω @ IZT = 65 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 2 μA @ 15.2 V - ultra-low leakage preserves regulation accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in space, downhole, and jet engine control electronics |
| Thermal Resistance | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - supports efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink interface |
| Surge Current (8.3 ms) | 8.0 A - withstands short-duration overvoltage events without degradation |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard glass case with tungsten slugs, "E" outline (also designated D-5B), surface-mount configuration. Terminations are copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish; cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during regulation; carries full Zener current in reverse-biased operation |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and 65 mA test current, and is maintained across the full −65 °C to +175 °C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements. The "D" suffix confirms ±5% tolerance per Microsemi's part numbering convention.
Is JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR hermetically sealed?
Yes, the JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR features a voidless hermetically sealed hard glass package with internal tungsten slugs and Category I metallurgical bonding. This construction meets MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements for high-reliability applications, preventing moisture ingress and ensuring long-term parameter stability in vacuum, high-humidity, or corrosive environments.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR is 395 mA at 25 °C, derived from its 5 W power rating and 20 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). At elevated temperatures, this value decreases linearly with thermal derating - reaching zero at +175 °C - based on its 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance.
Does JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, which documents its performance under total ionizing dose (TID) exposure. It is qualified for use in low-dose space applications without additional shielding, leveraging its hermetic glass package and silicon process to mitigate displacement damage and charge trapping effects.
What packaging format does JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR ship in?
JANTXV1N4965DUS/TR ships in tape-and-reel format compliant with EIA-481-B standards, optimized for automated SMT placement. Each reel contains devices oriented with cathode band consistently positioned for optical recognition, and the package outline conforms to the "E" (D-5B) footprint with 0.080″ center adhesive pad option for enhanced mechanical retention on high-vibration PCBs.
