Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4984US/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, voidless-hermetically-sealed glass Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at TEC = 125 °C, with nominal Zener voltage of 120 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 170 Ω at 10 mA, and maximum reverse leakage current of 2 μA at 91.2 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability military avionics power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4984US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4984US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4984US/TR application, or JANTXV1N4984US/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 120 V regulation stability under wide current and thermal variation.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of military-grade Zener regulators, fabricated using triple-layer passivation and Category I internal metallurgical bonds. Its breakdown behavior is characterized by low dynamic impedance (170 Ω @ 10 mA) and tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ ≤ 10 V between 10% and 50% of IZM), enabling stable reference generation across load transients.
The JANTXV1N4984US/TR operates with forward voltage ≤1.50 V at 1.0 A and exhibits radiation hardness per MicroNote 050. Its thermal resistance is 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, and it supports surge current up to 1.00 A (8.3 ms square wave), making it suitable for transient suppression in hardened DC power rails.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4983US/TR | 110 V nominal Zener voltage, 125 Ω ZZ, same package and rating | Used where 110-V clamping is required instead of 120 V; identical thermal and surge performance | Select when system nominal rail is 110 V ±10% and tighter regulation at lower voltage is needed |
| JANTXV1N4985US/TR | 130 V nominal Zener voltage, 190 Ω ZZ, same package and rating | Applied in 130-V intermediate bus architectures; higher VZ increases margin against overvoltage but raises leakage | Choose for 130-V systems requiring same reliability level but higher clamping threshold |
Compared with JANTXV1N4984US/TR, JANTXV1N4983US/TR provides 10 V lower regulation with slightly better impedance, while JANTXV1N4985US/TR trades 10 V higher clamping for increased leakage and impedance - all three share identical hermetic packaging, MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening, and thermal limits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4984US/TR?
JANTXV1N4984US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 120 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, consistent with MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements for JANTXV-grade devices. This tolerance is measured at IZT = 10 mA and 25 °C, and remains stable across the full -65 °C to +175 °C operating range due to its Category I metallurgical bond and voidless glass construction. The JANTXV1N4984US/TR does not offer tighter tolerances like ±1% or ±2% - those are reserved for suffixes 'D' and 'C' in other family members.
Is JANTXV1N4984US/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
JANTXV1N4984US/TR features end caps with tin/lead (Sn/Pb) finish and is specified for use with traditional eutectic solder reflow profiles. While the glass body and tungsten slugs tolerate peak temperatures up to 260 °C, the Sn/Pb termination is not compatible with lead-free (RoHS-compliant) soldering processes requiring >260 °C peak. For lead-free assembly, Microsemi recommends evaluating JANTXV1N4984US/TR's successor series or consulting Microchip's obsolescence roadmap for RoHS-qualified equivalents.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4984US/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4984US/TR is 395 mA, calculated from its 5 W power rating and 120 V nominal Zener voltage (P = V × I). This value assumes operation at TEC = 125 °C; above this case temperature, linear derating applies down to zero at +175 °C. At 25 °C ambient with adequate heatsinking, JANTXV1N4984US/TR can sustain up to 417 mA before reaching thermal limit.
Does JANTXV1N4984US/TR have a documented radiation hardness specification?
Yes, JANTXV1N4984US/TR is documented as radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, specifying total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance of ≥100 krad(Si) with parametric shift within MIL-PRF-19500/356 limits. It also demonstrates enhanced displacement damage resistance due to its hermetic glass package and tungsten slug construction. These characteristics make JANTXV1N4984US/TR suitable for low-earth orbit satellite payloads and nuclear instrumentation applications where single-event effects and cumulative dose are critical concerns.
How is polarity identified on the JANTXV1N4984US/TR package?
Polarity on JANTXV1N4984US/TR is indicated by a visible cathode band on the hermetically sealed voidless glass body - the banded end is the cathode, and the unbanded end is the anode. This marking is consistent across all 1N4954US–1N4996US devices and aligns with JEDEC standard orientation for surface-mount Zeners. No additional marking (e.g., part number or date code) appears on the device per the datasheet, and the band must be verified optically prior to placement to avoid reverse-bias failure during power-up.
