Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4972US/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 39 V ±5%, 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 power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4972US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4972US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4972US/TR application, or JANTXV1N4972US/TR equivalent, this part is selected for mission-critical analog voltage stabilization where radiation hardness, ESD immunity (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020), and long-term parametric stability under thermal cycling are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N4954US–1N4996US series, featuring a tungsten-slug voidless glass package with copper end caps and Sn/Pb termination. Its Category I metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness and hermetic integrity under extreme environmental stress.
The JANTXV1N4972US/TR operates with a Zener knee current (IZK) of 5 mA, exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C at 30 mA, and maintains regulation across 10%–50% of IZM (4.0 A), delivering stable 39 V output despite input transients and load variations in aerospace power conditioning systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at 30 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection in 28 V DC systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - enables sustained operation in high-temperature avionics enclosures without derating below 125 °C ambient. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 14 Ω @ IZT = 30 mA - ensures minimal output voltage deviation (<0.42 V) under 30 mA load step changes. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 29.7 V - guarantees negligible standby current draw in battery-backed monitoring circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - supports direct thermal coupling to heatsink pads on PCB for reliable 5 W operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - validated for use in satellite power subsystems and jet engine control electronics. |
| Surge Current (8.3 ms) | 4.0 A - withstands lightning-induced transients per DO-160 Section 22 Level 3 without degradation. |

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 | Zener voltage 36 V ±5%, TC +0.095 %/°C, IZM = 4.5 A, ZZ = 11 Ω @ 30 mA | Lower clamping voltage; suited for 24 V system protection instead of 28 V bus regulation | Select when tighter 36 V threshold is required and 39 V margin is excessive for design safety factor. |
| JANTXV1N4973US/TR | Zener voltage 43 V ±5%, TC +0.095 %/°C, IZM = 3.5 A, ZZ = 20 Ω @ 30 mA | Higher clamping voltage; higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation precision under fast load steps | Choose only if 43 V threshold aligns with system overvoltage trip point and reduced regulation fidelity is acceptable. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4971US/TR and JANTXV1N4973US/TR, the JANTXV1N4972US/TR provides optimal balance of 39 V clamping level, 4.0 A surge capability, and 14 Ω dynamic impedance for 28 V aerospace power buses-enabling tighter regulation tolerance and broader transient immunity than either alternative.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for JANTXV1N4972US/TR?
The JANTXV1N4972US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 39 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 30 mA. This tolerance reflects the initial calibration at 25 °C and remains stable across its full operating temperature range due to its low temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C.
Does JANTXV1N4972US/TR require derating above 140 °C end-cap temperature?
Yes, JANTXV1N4972US/TR must be linearly derated above 140 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. Derating follows a slope of –35.7 mW/°C, calculated from its 5 W rating at 140 °C and 0 W at 175 °C, as specified in the maximum ratings table.
Is JANTXV1N4972US/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
No-JANTXV1N4972US/TR uses Sn/Pb termination and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its end caps are specified with tin/lead finish, and the datasheet does not validate performance under Pb-free thermal profiles exceeding 220 °C peak temperature.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4972US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4972US/TR is 4.0 A, derived from its 5 W power rating and 39 V Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at 140 °C end-cap temperature and is valid only when thermal resistance to heatsink is maintained at ≤7 °C/W.
How is polarity indicated on JANTXV1N4972US/TR?
Polarity on JANTXV1N4972US/TR is indicated by a cathode band marked on the glass body. The banded end is the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node in Zener regulation or clamping configurations; the unmarked end is the anode.
