Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode with 36 V nominal zener voltage, 5 W power rating at 140 °C end-cap temperature, ±1% voltage tolerance (C suffix), and voidless-glass construction. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power regulation circuits for aerospace avionics and radiation-hardened systems.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified thermal stability (±0.095%/°C tempco), low dynamic impedance (220 Ω @ 40 mA), and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification - critical for mission-critical voltage stabilization under extreme temperature cycling and radiation exposure.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 40 mA and exhibits regulated voltage behavior across 10–50% of its maximum zener current (365 mA). Its internal Category I metallurgical bond and triple-layer passivation ensure long-term reliability under thermal shock and humidity stress.
The 36 V zener voltage is stabilized over –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, with thermal resistance of 7 °C/W (junction-to-end-cap) and surge capability of 5.0 A (8.3 ms square wave). Forward voltage is 1.50 V @ 1.0 A, confirming robust conduction in fault-clamp configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±1% @ 40 mA - enables precise voltage reference within 0.36 V tolerance for analog monitoring and feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports continuous regulation in high-ambient industrial or avionics enclosures without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 220 Ω @ 40 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients in power supply error amplifiers |
| Tempco (αVZ) | ±0.095 %/°C - guarantees stable reference performance across full military temperature range (–65 °C to +175 °C) |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ 27.4 V - prevents excessive quiescent current in low-power standby circuits |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.0 A (8.3 ms) - withstands lightning-induced transients and ESD events per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.50 V @ 1.0 A - allows use as bidirectional clamp when paired with series resistor in protection networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4971US/TR | Same 36 V zener voltage but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); higher max leakage (2 μA vs. same), identical thermal specs | Suitable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required, e.g., non-critical biasing or coarse overvoltage detection | Select JANTXV1N4971US/TR only if system-level calibration compensates for ±5% VZ variation. |
| CDLL5371A | 36 V, ±5%, 5 W, DO-41 axial-leaded; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 qualification, lower surge rating (3.5 A), no radiation hardness data | Acceptable for commercial-grade industrial controls where cost and through-hole assembly dominate | Choose CDLL5371A only for non-military, non-radiation environments with relaxed reliability and thermal requirements. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4971US/TR and CDLL5371A, JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR uniquely combines ±1% tolerance, MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, and radiation hardness - making it irreplaceable in flight-critical and nuclear instrumentation applications where parametric drift or single-event latchup cannot be tolerated.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR has a nominal zener voltage of 36 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix per Microsemi's standard nomenclature. This tight tolerance is achieved via post-trim screening and is guaranteed over the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range. The JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR datasheet specifies ΔVZ ≤ 0.36 V at 25 °C and maintains stability under thermal stress per MIL-PRF-19500/356 test protocols.
Is JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356?
Yes, JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 as a JANTXV-grade device. It undergoes rigorous screening including steady-state life test, temperature cycling, burn-in, and lot acceptance testing per the specification. The "JANTXV" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with the highest reliability level defined in MIL-PRF-19500/356, and JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR documentation confirms Category I metallurgical bonding and triple-layer passivation as required.
What is the maximum power dissipation of JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR at elevated temperatures?
JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR is rated for 5 W power dissipation at an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 140 °C. Above that, power must be derated linearly to zero at 175 °C, yielding a derating slope of 100 mW/°C. At 150 °C TEC, JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR supports 4 W; at 160 °C, 3 W. This derating curve is validated in the SD44A datasheet and applies specifically to the "E" package used by JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR.
Does JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR require external ESD protection?
No, JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR does not require external ESD protection. It is explicitly characterized as nonsensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, with demonstrated immunity to ≥4 kV HBM. This intrinsic robustness stems from its voidless-glass hermetic seal and triple-layer passivation, both confirmed in the SD44A datasheet. System-level ESD design can omit discrete TVS devices when JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR is used as the primary clamp.
What is the thermal resistance of JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance (RθJC) of 7 °C/W, as specified in the SD44A datasheet for the 1N4954US–1N4996US series. This value is measured under standardized conditions with soldered end-cap mounting and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise: TJ = TEC + (P × 7). The 7 °C/W RθJC enables JANTXV1N4971CUS/TR to sustain full 5 W dissipation at TEC = 140 °C while holding TJ ≤ 175 °C.
