Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4972CUS/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 39 V ±2% (C suffix), dynamic impedance of 14 Ω at 30 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 JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless-glass hermetic package, Category I metallurgical bond, radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation across 10–50% of maximum Zener current (IZM = 930 mA), exhibiting ΔVZ ≤ 0.5 V under that load variation. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling stable regulation in high-temperature avionics environments.
The "C" suffix denotes ±2% voltage tolerance, and the "US" suffix confirms surface-mount E-package (D-5B) configuration with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished in Sn/Pb. Polarity is marked by cathode band; no marking appears on the body per specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±2% at 30 mA - enables precise 39 V rail clamping or reference generation with low drift |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports sustained operation in conduction-cooled military power supplies |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 14 Ω @ IZT = 30 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under dynamic load transients |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 29.7 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - qualified for extreme-environment deployment without derating below –55 °C |
| Surge Current (8.3 ms) | 4.0 A - withstands lightning-induced transients in aircraft DC bus protection stages |
| Thermal Resistance | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - allows direct thermal coupling to chassis or heat spreader without interface paste |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless glass E-package ("D-5B"), with tungsten internal slugs and copper end caps plated with Sn/Pb. Cathode indicated by band; no part marking on body. Weight: 539 mg. Tape-and-reel compliant per EIA-481-B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to system ground or lowest potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 39 V reference when biased above VZ; marked by band |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or vacuum environments |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity and thermal cycling reliability up to 1000 cycles between –65 °C and +175 °C |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Withstands >15 kV HBM without parametric shift - simplifies handling in cleanroom assembly |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Qualified per Microsemi MicroNote 050 - suitable for low-dose-rate space applications without shielding |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage paths and enhances stability under ionizing radiation exposure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4972US/TR | Same 39 V rating but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); higher max leakage (2 μA vs. 2 μA same), identical package and thermal specs | Acceptable where tighter voltage tolerance is not required; lower cost due to relaxed screening | Select JANTXV1N4972US/TR only if system-level calibration compensates for initial VZ variance |
| CDLL5379BTR | 39 V ±5%, plastic SOD-123 package, 1 W rating, 200 °C/W thermal resistance, not radiation-hardened | Limited to commercial-temperature, non-radiation environments; unsuitable for MIL-PRF-19500/356 programs | Use CDLL5379BTR only in cost-sensitive, non-military designs with ambient <85 °C and no radiation exposure |
Compared with JANTXV1N4972US/TR, the JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR delivers tighter voltage control essential for uncalibrated systems, while CDLL5379BTR trades hermeticity, power, and radiation tolerance for footprint and cost savings in benign environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR?
The "C" suffix in JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR specifies a tight ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 30 mA test current, yielding a guaranteed 38.22–39.78 V range at 25 °C. This tolerance remains valid across the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening requirements.
Does JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR require derating above 140 °C end-cap temperature?
Yes - JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR must be linearly derated from 5 W at TEC = 140 °C to 0 W at TEC = 175 °C. Derating slope is 142.9 mW/°C. End-cap temperature must be measured directly; junction temperature is calculated using the 7 °C/W thermal resistance specified in the SD44A datasheet for JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR.
Is JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
No - JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR features Sn/Pb finish on copper end caps and is not qualified for Pb-free reflow. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is 235 °C per MIL-STD-202 Method 210, and exceeding this risks compromising the hermetic glass seal. Lead-free assembly requires explicit qualification testing per customer process.
What does the "JANTXV" prefix indicate for JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR?
The "JANTXV" prefix certifies that JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR meets the highest level of MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening, including extended temperature cycling, burn-in, and radiation lot acceptance testing. It exceeds standard JAN and JANTX levels in thermal shock endurance and parametric stability after environmental stress.
Can JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR be used as a forward-biased diode?
JANTXV1N4972CUS/TR is characterized for reverse-bias Zener operation; its forward voltage is specified as 1.50 V at 1.0 A, but it is not optimized for rectification. Using it in forward conduction risks exceeding junction temperature limits due to lack of forward SOA characterization - it should only be operated in reverse breakdown per its design intent.
