Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4971DUS/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 36 V ±1% (D-suffix), dynamic impedance of 11 Ω at 40 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 JANTXV1N4971DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4971DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4971DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4971DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package with tungsten slugs, Category I metallurgical bond, −65 °C to +175 °C operation, and 1% voltage tolerance - critical for radiation-hardened and mission-critical analog regulation.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of military-qualified Zener regulators. It uses a voidless hard-glass hermetic seal with internal Category I metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation, ensuring long-term stability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure. Its construction eliminates moisture ingress and interfacial voids that cause parametric drift in harsh environments.
The JANTXV1N4971DUS/TR operates across a wide reverse current range (10% to 50% of IZM) with ΔVZ ≤ 3.0 V regulation error, and exhibits low temperature coefficient (+0.095%/°C) for minimal voltage drift over temperature. Its 1.5 V forward voltage at 1 A supports reliable polarity verification during functional test.
