Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with nominal Zener voltage of 47 V at 25 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and maximum dynamic impedance of 25 Ω at IZT. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C and is used in high-reliability voltage regulation for avionics power conditioning and radiation-hardened instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless-glass package, Category III metallurgical bond, 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of surface-mount Zener regulators, featuring triple-layer passivation and internal Category III metallurgical bonds per MIL-PRF-19500/356. Its voidless hermetic glass construction ensures long-term stability under thermal cycling and high-humidity environments.
It delivers regulated voltage over wide current (10%–50% IZM) and temperature ranges, with ΔVZ ≤ 3.5 V across that current range and αVZ = +0.095 %/°C at IZT, enabling predictable drift compensation in precision analog supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 47 V ±5% at IZT = 25 mA - defines stable regulation point for mid-range DC supplies |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - requires heatsinking via end-cap thermal path in high-temp enclosures |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | 25 Ω max at IZT - limits output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Leakage IR | 2 μA at VR = 35.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby circuits |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - dictates minimum copper area needed on PCB for thermal relief |
| Surge Current IZSM | 5.5 A (8.3 ms square wave) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in jet engine controllers and downhole tools |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4974US | No "TR" suffix; bulk packaging instead of tape-and-reel; identical electrical specs and screening. | Preferred for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies. | Select JANTXV1N4974US when automated pick-and-place is not required and MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening is mandatory. |
| 1N4974US | Commercial-grade (non-military); lacks JAN/JANTXV screening, Category III bond, and radiation hardness validation. | Suitable only for non-critical industrial controls where TA ≤ 85 °C and radiation exposure is absent. | Choose 1N4974US only for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical designs with full lifecycle traceability waived. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4974US and 1N4974US, the JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR provides guaranteed tape-and-reel delivery for SMT production, retains full MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V qualification, and includes radiation hardness documentation-making it the sole option for flight-certified hardware requiring lot-level traceability and environmental resilience.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and IZT = 25 mA, and is maintained across the full military temperature range due to its Category III metallurgical bond and voidless-glass construction.
Does JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR require external heatsinking?
JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR relies on end-cap conduction for thermal management, with a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance of 10 °C/W. For continuous 5 W operation, PCB copper area under both end caps must provide sufficient thermal mass; no discrete heatsink is required if board layout follows Microsemi's D-5B pad recommendations and maintains TEC ≤ 125 °C.
Is JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR radiation hardened?
Yes, JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR is inherently radiation hard per Microsemi MicroNote 050, qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose without functional degradation. This capability is intrinsic to its voidless-glass package and Category III bond structure-not an add-on feature-and is documented in the official SD44A revision E datasheet.
What does the "DUS/TR" suffix mean in JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR?
In JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR, "DUS" denotes the D-5B surface-mount package with voidless-glass hermetic seal and Category III bond, while "TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-B. The full suffix confirms compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening and automated SMT readiness.
Can JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR replace 1N4974US in existing designs?
JANTXV1N4974DUS/TR shares identical electrical parameters and package outline with 1N4974US but adds military screening, radiation hardness, and traceable lot data. Replacement is electrically valid, but design requalification is required to leverage its enhanced reliability attributes-especially for applications subject to DO-160, MIL-STD-810, or MIL-STD-750 testing.
