Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4979DUS/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 75 V at 20 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and dynamic impedance of 55 Ω - used in high-reliability voltage regulation for aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, hermetic glass package with tungsten slugs, and 2 μA maximum reverse leakage at 57 V.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt voltage regulator in breakdown mode, maintaining stable output voltage across wide current (10%–50% of IZM) and temperature ranges. Its Category III internal metallurgical bond and triple-layer passivation ensure robustness against thermal cycling and environmental stress.
The JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR exhibits a Zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.100 %/°C and a thermal resistance of 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap - critical for thermal design in sealed avionics enclosures where conduction cooling dominates.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4979US | No TR suffix - bulk packaging instead of tape-and-reel; identical electrical specs and hermetic construction | Preferred for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies | Select JANTXV1N4979US when reel feeding is unnecessary and cost-per-unit optimization is prioritized |
| 1N4979US | Commercial-grade (non-military) version; same Zener voltage and package but lacks MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification and Category III bond | Suitable for industrial test equipment where radiation hardness and extended temperature range are not required | Choose 1N4979US only for non-safety-critical applications with full lifecycle traceability waived |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and 20 mA test current, and is maintained across the full -65 °C to +175 °C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening.
Does JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR require derating above 140 °C end-cap temperature?
Yes, JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR must be linearly derated above 140 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. This derating curve is defined in the Maximum Ratings table of the SD44A datasheet and reflects the thermal resistance of 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap for this variant.
Is JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
No, JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR uses tin/lead (Sn/Pb) finish on copper end caps and is qualified only for eutectic solder reflow profiles. Lead-free reflow exceeds its thermal limits and violates MIL-PRF-19500/356 process compliance - use only with Sn63/Pb37 solder paste and peak temperatures ≤220 °C.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR is 2 μA at 57 V (76% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at 25 °C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SD44A datasheet and remains valid across the full military temperature range per screening data.
How is polarity marked on JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4979DUS/TR uses a cathode band marking on the glass body to indicate polarity - the banded end is the cathode, which must be connected to the higher-potential side of the circuit during Zener operation. No other markings are present per the Mechanical and Packaging section of the SD44A datasheet.
