Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V at 50 mA test current, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or regulator in high-reliability aerospace, defense, and downhole instrumentation systems where failure is unacceptable.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified radiation-hardened performance, voidless-glass construction, Category III metallurgical bonding, and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification - critical for mission-critical analog biasing, overvoltage clamping, and reference stabilization under extreme thermal and radiation stress.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled dynamic impedance (ZZT = 6.0 Ω at IZT = 50 mA) and low temperature coefficient (αVZ = +0.090 %/°C), enabling stable regulation across wide current (10–50% IZM) and temperature excursions. Its triple-layer passivation and nonsensitive ESD design (per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) ensure robustness in harsh environments.
The JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR uses a hermetically sealed "E" package (D-5B outline) with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb, supporting reflow soldering per EIA-481-B tape-and-reel. Thermal resistance is 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, with surge capability of 6.0 A (8.3 ms square wave).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±2% at 50 mA - enables precise 27 V reference generation with minimal drift under load variation |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - supports continuous operation in high-temperature PCB layouts without derating below 125 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 6.0 Ω at IZT = 50 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable regulation against ripple and transient load changes |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA at VR = 20.6 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.090 %/°C - provides predictable, low-drift voltage reference behavior over –65 °C to +175 °C |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 6.0 A (8.3 ms square wave) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.50 V at 1.0 A - defines forward conduction threshold for bidirectional protection configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4968CUS | No TR suffix - bulk packaging instead of tape-and-reel; identical electrical specs and screening | Preferred for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies | Select JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR for automated SMT production; choose JANTXV1N4968CUS for bench evaluation or small-batch builds |
| JANS1N4968CUS/TR | Higher screening level (JANS vs JANTXV): includes burn-in, 100% parametric testing, and extended environmental stress screening | Required for Class S spaceflight hardware per MIL-PRF-19500/356 Appendix A | Choose JANS1N4968CUS/TR only when full space-qualified assurance is mandated; JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR satisfies most defense-grade requirements |
Compared with JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR, the JANTXV1N4968CUS offers identical performance in bulk form but lacks tape-and-reel logistics for pick-and-place, while the JANS1N4968CUS/TR adds cost and lead time for ultra-high-reliability validation beyond typical JANTXV use cases.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with ±2% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (–65 °C to +175 °C) and at the specified test current of 50 mA, as validated per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening requirements.
Is JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
No - JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for tin-lead soldering only. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is limited to 235 °C per MIL-STD-202 Method 210, and exposure to lead-free reflow profiles (>260 °C) risks metallurgical degradation and hermetic seal compromise.
What does the "TR" suffix signify in JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR?
The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B standard, enabling automated surface-mount assembly. Each reel contains 500 units, with carrier tape pitch of 12 mm and pocket depth optimized for the D-5B package outline. The "TR" version shares identical electrical and screening specifications with the bulk-packaged JANTXV1N4968CUS.
How does JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR achieve radiation hardness?
JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR achieves inherent radiation hardness through its voidless hermetic glass construction and silicon die processing optimized for total ionizing dose (TID) resilience. Microsemi documents this behavior in MicroNote 050, confirming no functional degradation up to 100 krad(Si) - a property derived from material selection and process control, not external shielding.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4968CUS/TR is 6.0 A, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 27 V Zener voltage (IZM = PZ / VZ ≈ 5 W / 27 V). This value assumes operation at TEC = 125 °C; derating is linear to zero at +175 °C per the datasheet's thermal curve.
