Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4981US/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 91 V at 15 mA test current, ±5% tolerance, and maximum dynamic impedance of 90 Ω at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4981US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4981US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4981US/TR application, or JANTXV1N4981US/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified radiation-hardened performance, -65 °C to +175 °C operating range, voidless-glass construction, and MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification - critical for avionics power rail stabilization and fault-tolerant reference design.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with regulated output maintained across 10%–50% of IZM (1.6 A) while exhibiting ΔVZ ≤ 7.5 V. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling stable regulation under transient thermal loads up to 175 °C junction temperature.
The "E" package (D-5B) uses tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, supporting solder reflow per MIL-STD-202. Cathode polarity is marked by a band; no marking appears on the body per specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 91 V ±5% at IZT = 15 mA - defines nominal regulation point for stable 91 V reference under load |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | 90 Ω @ IZT - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Max Reverse Leakage IR | 2 μA @ VR = 72.8 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or low-power modes |
| Temp Coefficient αVZ | +0.100 %/°C @ IZT - quantifies voltage drift over temperature; positive slope requires compensation in precision references |
| Surge Current IZSM | 1.6 A @ 8.3 ms - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure during power-up or fault events |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in extreme-environment military and space platforms |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4980US/TR | 82 V nominal Zener voltage, 15 mA IZT, 80 Ω ZZ - 9 V lower regulation point | Suitable where 82 V rail stabilization is required instead of 91 V; same thermal and environmental specs | Select when system architecture specifies 82 V intermediate bus; identical mounting and qualification |
| JANTXV1N4982US/TR | 100 V nominal Zener voltage, 12 mA IZT, 110 Ω ZZ - 9 V higher regulation point, slightly higher impedance | Used for 100 V reference generation in legacy radar subsystems requiring tighter voltage margin | Choose for 100 V systems needing same hermetic reliability; verify dynamic impedance impact on loop stability |
Compared with JANTXV1N4981US/TR, JANTXV1N4980US/TR provides lower-voltage regulation with marginally better impedance, while JANTXV1N4982US/TR offers higher-voltage capability at the cost of increased ZZ - both retain identical MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, thermal rating, and package geometry.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4981US/TR?
JANTXV1N4981US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 91 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and IZT = 15 mA, and remains valid across the full -65 °C to +175 °C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 testing.
Does JANTXV1N4981US/TR require heatsinking in 5 W operation?
JANTXV1N4981US/TR achieves its full 5 W rating only at TEC = 140 °C; above that, linear derating applies to zero at 175 °C. Its 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance means heatsinking is mandatory for sustained 5 W dissipation - PCB copper area or external thermal pads must be designed to maintain end-cap temperature ≤140 °C.
Is JANTXV1N4981US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTXV1N4981US/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for solder reflow per MIL-STD-202. It is not lead-free process compatible; use only with Sn63/Pb37 or equivalent eutectic solder profiles. Lead-free reflow exceeds its thermal limits and violates MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification.
What is the surge current rating for JANTXV1N4981US/TR?
JANTXV1N4981US/TR supports a nonrepetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 1.6 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave, as defined in the SD44A datasheet. This rating enables protection against short-duration transients such as load dump or inductive kickback without degradation.
How is polarity identified on JANTXV1N4981US/TR?
JANTXV1N4981US/TR uses a cathode band for polarity identification, located on the glass body adjacent to the cathode terminal. The anode connects to the opposite end cap. No alphanumeric marking appears on the device per specification - correct orientation relies solely on the band position.
