Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4976DUS/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 56 V ±1% (D suffix), dynamic impedance of 35 Ω at 25 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 JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package with tungsten slugs, Category I metallurgical bond, radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050, and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation across wide current (10%–50% of IZM) and temperature ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (35 Ω @ 25 mA) and minimal voltage drift (±0.095%/°C) ensure stable reference performance under varying load and thermal conditions.
The "D" suffix denotes ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, achieved via post-trim screening. The "JANTXV" prefix confirms compliance with enhanced screening levels including burn-in, temperature cycling, and life testing per MIL-PRF-19500/356, distinguishing it from commercial or lower-grade military variants.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±1% at 25 °C, indicated by the "D" suffix in the part number. This tight tolerance is achieved through post-trim screening and verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 test requirements, making JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR suitable for precision reference applications where voltage accuracy is critical.
Does JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR require heatsinking in a 5 W application?
JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR is rated for 5 W dissipation at an end-cap temperature (TEC) of 140 °C, with a thermal resistance of 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap. Effective heatsinking via copper pour or thermal vias is required to maintain TEC ≤140 °C under full load; without it, power must be linearly derated above that temperature to avoid exceeding the 175 °C max junction limit.
Is JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for traditional eutectic solder reflow only. It is not rated for lead-free (Pb-free) reflow profiles due to thermal stress risks on the hermetic glass seal and metallurgical bond. For Pb-free assembly, consult Microchip's obsolescence notice and approved alternatives before design-in.
What does the "JANTXV" prefix signify for JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR?
The "JANTXV" prefix certifies that JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR meets the highest screening level defined in MIL-PRF-19500/356, including extended burn-in, temperature cycling, and life testing. It also confirms compliance with radiation hardness guidelines in Microsemi MicroNote 050 and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - all documented in the official JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR qualification report.
Can JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR replace JANTX1N4976US/TR in existing designs?
JANTXV1N4976DUS/TR offers tighter ±1% voltage tolerance (vs. ±5% for JANTX1N4976US/TR) and enhanced screening, but shares identical package, pinout, and absolute maximum ratings. Replacement is permissible if the design benefits from improved voltage accuracy and reliability - however, revalidation of surge response and thermal performance is recommended due to the D-suffix's tighter binning and screening.
