Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4966CUS/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 22 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 5.0 Ω at 50 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 JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless-glass hermetic construction, Category I metallurgical bond, MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, and thermal resistance of 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - critical for radiation-hardened and extended-temperature designs.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of surface-mount Zener regulators qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class JANTXV. 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 below 140 °C end-cap temperature.
It exhibits 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT = 50 mA, 1.8 °C/W thermal impedance at 10 ms surge, and maximum reverse leakage of 2 μA at 16.7 V. The Zener voltage temperature coefficient is +0.085 %/°C, confirming positive drift behavior typical of 20–24 V devices in this series.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 22 V ±5% at 50 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard bias; tolerance impacts reference accuracy in closed-loop systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins; supports high-current clamping without external heatsink. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 5.0 Ω @ IZT = 50 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Thermal Resistance | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - enables direct thermal path to PCB copper pour or chassis, critical for sustained high-power operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - full military temperature range validated per MIL-STD-750, suitable for engine bay or space-grade environments. |
| Reverse Leakage | 2 μA max at 16.7 V - low leakage preserves battery life and signal integrity in low-power standby modes. |
| Surge Current | 7.0 A @ 8.3 ms square wave - withstands lightning-induced transients and ESD events without degradation. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in the electrical characteristics table at 25 °C and IZT = 50 mA. This tolerance remains valid across the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 test requirements.
Does JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR require special ESD handling during assembly?
No - the JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR is nonsensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and does not require ESD-safe packaging, wrist straps, or ionized workstations during handling or reflow soldering. Its triple-layer passivation and hermetic seal provide intrinsic immunity.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR is 7.0 mA at 25 °C ambient, but derates linearly with junction temperature. At TJ = 175 °C, IZM drops to zero; full 5 W dissipation is supported only when end-cap temperature is maintained at ≤140 °C.
Is JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - the JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature per J-STD-020. Its voidless-glass construction prevents cracking or delamination during thermal cycling.
How is polarity identified on JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR?
Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band on the glass body of the JANTXV1N4966CUS/TR. The banded end is the cathode; the unmarked end is the anode. This marking is consistent across all 1N4954US–1N4996US variants and aligns with JEDEC standard orientation for surface-mount Zeners.
