Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4984CUS/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. It provides precise 120 V nominal Zener voltage with ±1% tolerance (C suffix), 10 Ω dynamic impedance at 10 mA test current, and operates across –65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. It serves as a high-reliability voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for mission-critical voltage regulation where hermetic sealing, radiation hardness, ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020, and stable Zener characteristics under thermal stress are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified Zener regulators. It uses a voidless hard-glass package with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished with Sn/Pb, enabling robust thermal conduction (7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap) and mechanical stability under shock/vibration.
Its electrical behavior is defined by a sharp Zener breakdown at 120 V with low dynamic impedance (10 Ω @ IZT = 10 mA), minimal temperature coefficient (+0.100 %/°C), and tightly controlled reverse leakage (≤2 μA @ 91.2 V). The "JANTXV" grade confirms full screening to Level V per MIL-PRF-19500.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage (VZ) | 120 V ±1% - Enables precise voltage clamping or reference generation in high-voltage analog monitoring stages. |
| Power Dissipation (PZM) | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - Supports continuous regulation in compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω @ IZT = 10 mA - Ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients in feedback-sensing applications. |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 91.2 V - Guarantees negligible standby current draw in battery-backed or low-power hold-up circuits. |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.100 %/°C - Predictable, linear drift allows accurate compensation in wide-temperature-range instrumentation. |
| Operating Temperature (TJ) | –65 °C to +175 °C - Qualified for deployment in engine bays, space payloads, and downhole electronics without derating. |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| Aerospace Power Bus Protection | Downhole Instrumentation Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping transient spikes on 100–150 V DC power buses in satellite solar array regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown to shunt overvoltage events above 120 V.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 120 V reference standard traceable to NIST via Microsemi's certified test data. Use Value: Radiation hardness and long-term stability (<0.1% ΔVZ after 1000 hrs life test) enable metrology-grade repeatability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4984BTR | Same 120 V Zener voltage but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); identical package and screening level. | Acceptable where tighter regulation is not required-e.g., non-critical overvoltage cutoff rather than precision reference. | Select JANTXV1N4984BTR only if system-level tolerance budget permits ±5% variation at 120 V. |
| CDLL120F | Commercial-grade 120 V Zener (±5%), DO-213AA glass package, no MIL screening or radiation data. | Limited to ground-based industrial systems with ambient temperature <125 °C and no radiation exposure. | CDLL120F is unsuitable for aerospace or defense use; choose only for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical designs. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4984BTR trades ±1% tolerance for broader availability and lower unit cost, while CDLL120F omits hermetic sealing, MIL qualification, and radiation assurance-making it incompatible with flight or harsh-environment deployments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 120 V with a tolerance of ±1%, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tight tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening and supports precision voltage reference applications where regulation stability is critical.
Does JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes, JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR must be derated linearly above 140 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, so proper heatsinking or board layout is essential to maintain safe junction temperatures under full 5 W load.
Is JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
No-JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its termination finish and glass-to-metal seal are optimized for eutectic solder profiles; lead-free processing may compromise hermeticity or cause intermetallic growth.
What is the maximum surge current rating for JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR supports a non-repetitive peak surge current of 1.0 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This enables reliable clamping of short-duration transients in MIL-STD-704 or DO-160-compliant power systems.
How does the radiation hardness of JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR compare to commercial Zeners?
JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR exhibits inherent radiation hardness validated per MicroNote 050, with demonstrated tolerance to ≥100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose. Commercial Zeners lack this characterization and typically degrade significantly above 10 krad(Si), making JANTXV1N4984CUS/TR essential for space-grade applications.
