Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, hermetically sealed, voidless-glass 5 W Zener diode rated for 51 V nominal Zener voltage at 25 mA test current, with ±1% tolerance (C suffix), 1.5 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, and operating junction temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability military power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for demanding aerospace, defense, and downhole instrumentation where radiation hardness, ESD immunity, and long-term parametric stability under thermal cycling are mandatory.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N49xxUS series, featuring internal Category I metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation for enhanced reliability. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal eliminates moisture ingress and prevents parameter drift under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.
The JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR operates with a dynamic impedance of 27 Ω at 25 mA and exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.095 %/°C - enabling stable regulation across wide ambient ranges without external compensation. Surge capability reaches 3.0 A (8.3 ms square wave) with thermal resistance of 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±1% at 25 mA - enables precise 51 V rail clamping or reference generation with minimal calibration overhead |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - supports continuous operation in conduction-cooled PCB layouts up to 125 °C end-cap temperature |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 27 Ω at IZT = 25 mA - ensures low output impedance for tight regulation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max at 40.8 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.5 V max at 1.0 A - allows use as bidirectional transient suppressor when paired with series resistor |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.095 %/°C - predictable positive drift simplifies system-level thermal error budgeting |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 3.0 A (8.3 ms sq. wave) - withstands lightning-induced transients per MIL-STD-461 CS115 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4976US | Same 51 V rating and package, but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); higher leakage (5 μA max at 40.8 V) | Suitable for non-critical clamping where cost sensitivity outweighs precision | Select JANTXV1N4976US only if ±5% regulation accuracy is acceptable and leakage margin >2 μA is available |
| CDLL5100 | Commercial-grade 51 V Zener (±5%), plastic SOD-123 package, 1 W rating, not radiation-hardened | Limited to benign environments; cannot meet MIL-PRF-19500/356 or extended temperature requirements | CDLL5100 is not a drop-in replacement - requires layout change, derating for power, and requalification for radiation/temperature |
Compared with JANTXV1N4976US and CDLL5100, the JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR delivers tighter tolerance, lower leakage, full military qualification, and proven radiation hardness - making it the sole choice for Class H, Class K, or space-grade designs requiring guaranteed performance at 175 °C.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with ±1% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 testing at 25 °C and 25 mA, and remains stable across its full operating temperature range due to its +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient.
Is JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for traditional eutectic solder reflow. While not lead-free process qualified, its hermetic glass construction tolerates peak temperatures up to 260 °C for ≤10 seconds - allowing compatibility with controlled lead-free profiles when validated per J-STD-020.
Does JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR require derating above 125 °C?
Yes - JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR is rated for 5 W at TEC = 125 °C and must be linearly derated to zero at 175 °C. Its 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance means each 1 °C rise above 125 °C reduces allowable power by 50 mW, requiring careful thermal design in high-ambient applications.
How is polarity identified on JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to identify the cathode terminal. The anode is the unmarked end cap. This polarity must be observed in circuit layout to ensure correct reverse-bias operation for Zener regulation or clamping functions.
What is the maximum surge current rating for JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4976CUS/TR is rated for a non-repetitive maximum Zener surge current (IZSM) of 3.0 A at 8.3 ms square wave, per MIL-STD-750 Method 3011. This rating applies under specified test conditions and supports compliance with transient immunity standards such as DO-160 Section 22 and MIL-STD-461 CS115.
