Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4969CUS/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. It provides precise 30 V nominal Zener voltage with ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 8 Ω dynamic impedance at 40 mA test current, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. It serves as a high-reliability voltage reference or regulation element in avionics power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package, 30 V ±2% regulation stability, and suitability for radiation-hardened, high-temperature, fail-safe systems where leakage <2 μA at 22.8 V and thermal resistance of 7 °C/W are critical.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family, fabricated using voidless hard-glass hermetic construction with internal Category I metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable regulation over wide current (10%–50% IZM) and temperature ranges, with voltage change ΔVZ ≤0.25 V under specified load variation.
The JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR exhibits low dynamic impedance (8 Ω @ 40 mA), tight temperature coefficient (+0.090 %/°C), and robust surge capability (16.4 A @ 8.3 ms). Its cathode-band polarity marking and Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps ensure reliable soldering and unambiguous orientation in high-integrity PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4969US/TR | Same 30 V nominal voltage but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); higher leakage (2 μA vs. 2 μA same), identical package and thermal specs. | Suitable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required; lower cost for non-critical references. | Select JANTXV1N4969US/TR when ±5% regulation tolerance meets system error budget and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| 1N4969US | Commercial-grade version (non-JANTXV); lacks MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, radiation hardness, and extended temperature screening. | Restricted to benign-environment industrial controls; not approved for flight or safety-critical use. | Choose 1N4969US only for ground-based, non-mission-critical prototypes where MIL-spec testing and traceability are unnecessary. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4969US/TR and 1N4969US, the JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR uniquely combines ±2% voltage tolerance, full MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V qualification, and verified radiation hardness-making it the sole option for high-integrity, temperature-extreme, and radiation-exposed Zener reference designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 30 V with a tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tighter tolerance is achieved through post-manufacturing screening and is certified per MIL-PRF-19500/356. The JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C, making it suitable for precision reference applications where standard ±5% devices would introduce unacceptable error.
Does JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes, JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR must be linearly derated above an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 140 °C, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. Its specified 5 W rating applies only at TEC = 140 °C. Derating slope is –35.7 mW/°C, calculated from (5 W)/(175 °C − 140 °C). This behavior is defined in the Maximum Ratings table of the SD44A datasheet and reflects the thermal limits of the D-5B glass package's junction-to-end-cap path.
Is JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
No, JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its termination finish and glass-to-metal seal are optimized for eutectic solder (183 °C melt point). Lead-free profiles exceeding 217 °C peak temperature risk compromising hermeticity and metallurgical bond integrity. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult Microchip's current-generation Zener offerings, as JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR remains a legacy MIL-spec part with Pb-based terminations.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR is 2 μA at 22.8 V (90% of VZ), measured at 25 °C per the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains ≤5 μA across the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating range, supporting ultra-low-power bias networks in high-impedance circuits. The JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR achieves this performance via triple-layer passivation and voidless hermetic sealing, minimizing surface conduction paths.
How is polarity identified on JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR?
Polarity on JANTXV1N4969CUS/TR is identified by a visible cathode band on the glass body-consistent with JEDEC-standard marking for axial and surface-mount Zeners. The banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node in regulation or clamping configurations. The anode is the unmarked end cap. This marking is unambiguous under optical inspection and compatible with automated optical recognition (AOI) systems used in high-reliability PCB assembly.
