Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4976US/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, hermetically sealed, voidless-glass 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 56 V, ±5% tolerance, 35 mA test current (IZT), and 320 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 for high-reliability voltage regulation in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4976US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4976US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4976US/TR application, or JANTXV1N4976US/TR equivalent, this part delivers military-grade thermal stability, radiation hardness, and surge robustness in a compact E-package - critical for avionics power rail clamping, reference stabilization, and overvoltage protection where failure is not an option.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a precision shunt voltage regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, maintaining stable output voltage across wide operating current (10–50% of IZM) and temperature ranges. Its voidless-glass construction and Category III metallurgical bond ensure mechanical integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical shock.
It exhibits low temperature coefficient (±0.095 %/°C), low leakage (<2 µA at VR = 42.6 V), and high surge capability (2.8 A @ 8.3 ms). The device is nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and inherently radiation-hardened per MicroNote 050.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% at 35 mA - defines regulated rail voltage with tight production control for mission-critical references. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - supports continuous operation in high-temperature avionics enclosures without derating below 125 °C. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 320 Ω at IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients in feedback-sensing applications. |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 2 µA at 42.6 V - guarantees negligible standby current draw in low-power hold-up and bias networks. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | ±0.095 %/°C - enables stable regulation across –65 °C to +175 °C without external compensation. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 2.8 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands lightning-induced transients and inductive switch-off spikes in flight control systems. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.50 V @ 1.0 A - allows use as polarity-protected rectifier in dual-role clamp-and-bias configurations. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for JANTXV1N4976US/TR?
JANTXV1N4976US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 35 mA. This tolerance reflects the standard military-grade specification for the part, and no suffix letter (e.g., 'C' or 'D') is present in the part number, confirming the 5% band. The 35 mA IZT ensures stable regulation within its specified power envelope and thermal limits.
Is JANTXV1N4976US/TR suitable for space applications?
Yes, JANTXV1N4976US/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356, making it suitable for low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite applications. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal, Category III metallurgical bond, and TID tolerance up to 100 krad(Si) support long-duration missions where single-event effects and total ionizing dose must be mitigated without shielding overhead.
What is the maximum operating temperature and thermal resistance of JANTXV1N4976US/TR?
JANTXV1N4976US/TR operates from –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its thermal resistance is 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, based on its classification in the 1N4954US–1N4996US family. This value applies at TEC = 125 °C for full 5 W dissipation, with linear derating to zero at 175 °C - enabling use in high-temperature engine bay or avionics bay environments.
Does JANTXV1N4976US/TR have ESD protection built-in?
JANTXV1N4976US/TR is nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, meaning it withstands human-body-model (HBM) discharges ≥4 kV without parameter shift or functional degradation. No external ESD protection circuitry is required during handling or PCB assembly, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in high-reliability designs.
How does the dynamic impedance of JANTXV1N4976US/TR affect regulation performance?
JANTXV1N4976US/TR has a dynamic impedance (ZZ) of 320 Ω at 35 mA, which directly determines how much the output voltage varies under changing load current. A lower ZZ yields tighter regulation - this value is among the lowest in the 56–62 V segment of the series, enabling sub-10 mV drift over 10–50% IZM current range, critical for precision reference and feedback applications.
