Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4974CUS/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 47 V ±1% (C suffix), dynamic impedance 25 Ω at 25 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range −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 JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, voidless-glass hermetic seal, Category I metallurgical bond, −65 °C to +175 °C operation, and 1% voltage tolerance - critical for radiation-hardened and extended-temperature avionics designs.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation across 10–50% of IZM (100 mA to 500 mA), exhibiting ΔVZ ≤ 0.35 V over that current range. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling stable regulation under transient thermal loads in conduction-cooled modules.
The "E" package (D-5B) uses tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, supporting EIA-481-B tape-and-reel delivery. Polarity is marked by cathode band; no surface marking is applied per specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 47 V ±1% at 25 mA - enables precise 47 V rail clamping or reference generation with minimal calibration drift. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports continuous regulation in high-ambient industrial or avionics enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 25 Ω @ IZT = 25 mA - ensures low output impedance for stable voltage regulation under varying load currents. |
| Max Reverse Leakage IR | 2 μA @ VR = 35.8 V - guarantees negligible standby current in battery-backed or low-power hold-up circuits. |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +175 °C - validated for operation in space-grade thermal cycling and jet engine bay environments. |
| Surge Current IZSM | 5.5 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands lightning-induced transients and inductive switch-off spikes in DC power distribution. |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - allows direct thermal path to heatsink or PCB copper pour for predictable derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4974US/TR | Same 47 V nominal rating but ±5% tolerance (no suffix); higher ZZT = 35 Ω at 25 mA. | Acceptable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required; lower cost for non-critical rails. | Select when budget constraints outweigh need for 1% regulation in non-safety-critical subsystems. |
| JANS1N4974CUS/TR | Same 47 V ±1%, but qualified to JANS level (higher screening, extended temperature validation). | Required for manned spacecraft and nuclear command systems where zero-failure probability is mandated. | Choose only when JANS certification documentation and extended test reports are contractually required. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4974US/TR, the JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR offers superior voltage accuracy and lower dynamic impedance for precision regulation, while JANS1N4974CUS/TR adds deeper screening for ultra-high-assurance programs - making the JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR the optimal balance of performance, qualification, and cost for most defense avionics.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix per Microsemi's naming convention. This tolerance is verified at 25 °C and maintained across the full −65 °C to +175 °C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening. The JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR achieves this tight tolerance via post-trim characterization and lot-level statistical process control.
Is JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR features Sn/Pb finish on its copper end caps and is qualified for traditional eutectic soldering. While it can survive peak temperatures up to 225 °C, Microsemi does not specify compatibility with Pb-free reflow profiles (e.g., JEDEC J-STD-020). For lead-free assembly, JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR requires process validation including wetting tests and intermetallic inspection - consult Microchip's obsolescence notice SD44A for legacy finish guidance.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR is 100 mA at TEC = 140 °C, derived from its 5 W power rating and 47 V nominal voltage (P = V × I → I = 5 W / 47 V ≈ 106 mA, derated to 100 mA for margin). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of SD44A.pdf and applies only when mounted to a thermally adequate end-cap heatsink.
Does JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR have a cathode band marking?
Yes, JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR uses a visible cathode band to indicate polarity, as stated in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the datasheet. The band is applied directly on the voidless glass body and is the sole polarity identifier - no alphanumeric marking is present on the device surface per specification.
How does the thermal resistance of JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR compare to axial-leaded equivalents?
JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance of 7 °C/W, optimized for conduction cooling via its metal end caps. Axial-leaded equivalents (e.g., JANTXV1N4974CUS) exhibit higher thermal resistance due to wire leads acting as thermal bottlenecks; their θJC is typically >20 °C/W. This makes JANTXV1N4974CUS/TR preferable for high-power-density layouts where thermal path efficiency is critical.
