Overview
JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, voidless-hermetically-sealed 5 W glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 75 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum power dissipation of 5 W at 140 °C end-cap temperature. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C, features 55 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and delivers stable voltage regulation in high-reliability military and aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR equivalent, this part supports precision voltage reference, overvoltage clamping, and regulator feedback in harsh-environment analog subsystems where hermetic sealing, radiation hardness, and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification are mandatory.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the JANTXV-grade 1N49xxUS series, qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 for Class V (space-level) reliability. Its voidless-glass construction uses Category I internal metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation to ensure long-term stability under thermal cycling and radiation exposure.
The JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C at 20 mA, reverse leakage ≤2 μA at 56 V, and forward voltage ≤1.50 V at 1.0 A - enabling predictable behavior in both breakdown and conduction modes across its full operating range.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tighter tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening and supports precision regulation in feedback networks where voltage accuracy directly impacts system performance. The JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR achieves this specification at 20 mA test current and 25 °C ambient.
Is JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR suitable for space applications?
Yes, the JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V (JANTXV grade), which includes rigorous screening for space-level reliability such as temperature cycling, burn-in, and radiation hardness assurance. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal and Category I metallurgical bond make the JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR appropriate for LEO and GEO satellite power and sensor subsystems.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR is 630 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 75 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at TEC = 140 °C; derating is linear above that temperature to zero at +175 °C. The JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR maintains regulation stability across this full current range.
Does JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, the JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050, with total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance up to 100 krad(Si). This characteristic is intrinsic to its voidless-glass construction and metallurgical bonding - no additional processing is required. The JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR is routinely deployed in nuclear instrumentation and space electronics where radiation-induced parametric shift must be minimized.
What package type does JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR use?
The JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR uses the "E" package (also designated "D-5B"), a surface-mount hermetically sealed voidless glass case with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished with Sn/Pb. Its cathode is marked by a visible band, and it complies with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel packaging standards. The JANTXV1N4979CUS/TR requires no adhesive mounting - solder alone provides mechanical and thermal integrity.
