Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4977US/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, voidless-hermetically-sealed 5 W glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 62 V, ±5% tolerance, and maximum power dissipation of 5 W at TEC = 140 °C. It operates from −65 °C to +175 °C, features 42 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and delivers stable voltage regulation in high-reliability military avionics power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4977US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4977US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4977US/TR application, or JANTXV1N4977US/TR equivalent, this part supports critical voltage reference and overvoltage protection functions where hermetic sealing, radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Microsemi's JAN/JANTX/JANTXV-qualified 1N49xxUS series of surface-mount Zener regulators. It uses a voidless hard-glass package with tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, enabling operation up to 175 °C junction temperature and compliance with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD immunity.
The JANTXV1N4977US/TR exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C at IZT, a forward voltage of 1.50 V at 1.0 A, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 2 μA at 47.1 V - all specified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening and tested under controlled thermal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V nominal at 20 mA test current - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection in 28 V and 115 V AC/DC power systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W at TEC = 140 °C - enables robust transient energy absorption without derating in conduction-cooled military chassis environments. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 42 Ω at IZT = 20 mA - ensures tight regulation stability under varying load currents in precision reference applications. |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in engine-mounted electronics, missile guidance units, and space-qualified subsystems. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max at 47.1 V - guarantees minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in low-current bias networks. |
| Thermal Resistance | 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - allows direct thermal coupling to metal chassis for passive heat sinking without heatsinks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard-glass "E" package (also designated D-5B), with copper end caps and Sn/Pb finish; cathode indicated by band; weight 539 mg; tape-and-reel compliant per EIA-481-B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased Zener configuration; carries full surge current during clamping events. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked with band; connected to higher-potential node; establishes regulated output voltage referenced to ground or supply rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass construction | Eliminates internal moisture and voids, preventing parametric drift and catastrophic failure under thermal cycling and humidity stress. |
| MIL-PRF-19500/356 JANTXV qualification | Includes full Level V screening (burn-in, temperature cycling, life test) for mission-critical aerospace and defense platforms. |
| Triple-layer passivation | Provides enhanced surface insulation and resistance to contamination-induced leakage in high-voltage, low-current bias networks. |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050 for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance - suitable for low-earth orbit and nuclear-hardened systems. |
Applications
| Aerospace Power Conditioning | Military Radar Bias Supply |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4977US | Same electrical specs but commercial-grade (non-military); no MIL-PRF-19500 screening or radiation data. | Lacks JANTXV-level reliability testing; unsuitable for flight-critical or radiation-exposed use cases. | Select only for cost-sensitive terrestrial industrial designs with relaxed qualification requirements. |
| JANTX1N4977US/TR | Same 62 V Zener voltage and package, but JANTX (not JANTXV) screening level - excludes burn-in and life test. | Meets MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class III, not Class V; reduced confidence in long-term parametric stability. | Acceptable for non-safety-critical ground systems where full JANTXV screening is unnecessary. |
Compared with 1N4977US and JANTX1N4977US/TR, the JANTXV1N4977US/TR provides verified Class V screening, guaranteed radiation hardness, and tighter process controls - making it the sole choice for manned spacecraft, missile guidance, and nuclear command systems requiring zero-failure probability.

The JANTXV1N4977US/TR belongs to Microsemi's legacy 1N49xxUS military Zener family, engineered specifically for extreme-environment voltage regulation where hermeticity, radiation tolerance, and MIL-PRF-19500 compliance are non-negotiable.
FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4977US/TR?
The JANTXV1N4977US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 62 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as defined in MIL-PRF-19500/356. No suffix indicates this standard tolerance; tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) require different part number suffixes not present in JANTXV1N4977US/TR.
Does JANTXV1N4977US/TR require heatsinking in 5 W operation?
JANTXV1N4977US/TR achieves its full 5 W rating at TEC = 140 °C and has a junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance of 7 °C/W. When mounted directly to a thermally conductive chassis or cold plate, no additional heatsink is required - the end caps serve as primary thermal interface per the D-5B package design.
Is JANTXV1N4977US/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow profiles?
No - JANTXV1N4977US/TR features Sn/Pb (tin/lead) terminations on copper end caps and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its maximum peak reflow temperature is limited to 235 °C per MIL-STD-202 Method 210, and exposure to lead-free profiles (>260 °C) risks metallurgical degradation and seal integrity loss.
What is the surge current rating for JANTXV1N4977US/TR?
JANTXV1N4977US/TR supports a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 20.0 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal mass and mounting to dissipate transient energy without exceeding junction temperature limits.
How is polarity identified on JANTXV1N4977US/TR?
JANTXV1N4977US/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity. The banded end is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC-standard orientation for surface-mount Zener diodes and must be observed during placement to ensure correct reverse-bias operation.
