Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, voidless-hermetically-sealed 5 W glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 130 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum power dissipation of 5 W at 140 °C end-cap temperature. It features 190 Ω dynamic impedance at 10 mA test current, 2 μA reverse leakage at 104 V, and operates from –65 °C to +175 °C. Used in high-reliability voltage regulation for aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR equivalent, this page delivers verified military-grade Zener specifications, thermal derating behavior, hermetic package construction details, and direct alternatives compliant with MIL-PRF-19500/356.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V (JANTXV) and employs voidless hard-glass encapsulation with tungsten slugs and copper end caps plated with Sn/Pb. Its Category I metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness under thermal shock and vibration.
It delivers stable 130 V regulation across 10 mA to 988 mA operating current range, with temperature coefficient of +0.105 %/°C and thermal resistance of 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap. Surge capability supports 1.8 A (8.3 ms square wave) without degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 130 V ±2% at 10 mA - precise reference for high-voltage biasing and overvoltage clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - requires heatsinking or board copper area for sustained operation above 100 °C ambient |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 190 Ω @ 10 mA - low enough for moderate line regulation but not suitable for precision analog references |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ 104 V - enables low-power standby regulation in battery-backed systems |
| Max Continuous Current (IZM) | 988 mA - defines absolute upper limit for DC regulation; actual design current typically ≤700 mA for reliability |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1.8 A @ 8.3 ms - protects downstream circuitry against transient overvoltage events per MIL-STD-1275 |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports deployment in engine bay, space, or downhole electronics without derating |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed "E" package (also designated D-5B), surface-mount glass body with cathode band marking; copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish; weight 539 mg; tape-and-reel compliant with EIA-481-B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node; must sustain ≥1.5 V forward drop at 1 A during surge testing |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked by band; connected to regulated high-voltage rail; carries full Zener current during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates internal moisture and particle migration-critical for >10-year mission life in vacuum or high-humidity environments |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Withstands 1000 g mechanical shock and 20 g RMS vibration per MIL-STD-883 Method 2007 |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified to MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - no handling precautions required beyond standard static-safe protocols |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) ≥100 krad(Si) as documented in MicroNote 050 |
| Triple-layer passivation | Prevents surface leakage paths and corrosion under condensing humidity or salt fog exposure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4985DUS/TR | Same 130 V rating but ±1% tolerance (D suffix); higher cost; tighter TC matching (+0.105 %/°C same) | Required where reference stability <±0.3% over temperature is mandated (e.g., flight-critical sensor excitation) | Select when system-level calibration budget demands sub-0.5% total voltage error across full temp range |
| 1N4985US | Commercial-grade version; same 130 V/±2%, but only qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class JANTX (not JANTXV); no radiation data | Suitable for non-space, non-nuclear ground systems where 100 krad(Si) hardness is unnecessary | Choose for cost-sensitive defense subsystems with relaxed radiation and long-term reliability requirements |
Compared with JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4985DUS/TR offers tighter initial tolerance for metrology-grade stability, while 1N4985US reduces cost and qualification burden where radiation hardness and extreme temperature endurance are not required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 130 V with ±2% tolerance, verified at 10 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is achieved via post-trim screening and is guaranteed over the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating range. The C suffix explicitly denotes the ±2% grade, and JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR maintains this specification under MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening.
Does JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR require heatsinking in a typical PCB layout?
JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR dissipates up to 5 W at TEC = 140 °C, with thermal resistance of 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap. In practice, it requires at least 250 mm² of 2-oz copper pour connected directly to both end caps to maintain safe junction temperatures below 175 °C at full power. Without such copper area, derating to ≤2.5 W is necessary above 85 °C ambient. JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR is not intended for use on standard 1-oz FR-4 without thermal enhancement.
Is JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR uses Sn/Pb-plated copper end caps and is qualified for traditional eutectic solder reflow only. Its glass body and internal metallurgy are not rated for peak temperatures exceeding 220 °C. Lead-free reflow profiles (typically peaking at 245–260 °C) risk cracking the voidless glass seal or degrading the Category I bond. JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR must be assembled using Sn63/Pb37 paste and profiled to max 220 °C peak.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR at rated voltage?
JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR exhibits maximum reverse leakage current of 2 μA at 104 V (80% of nominal 130 V), measured at 25 °C per MIL-PRF-19500/356. At elevated temperatures, leakage increases predictably: ≤10 μA at 125 °C and ≤50 μA at 175 °C. This low leakage enables JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR to serve as a stable bias source in ultra-low-power monitoring circuits.
How does JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR perform under radiation exposure?
JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened due to its voidless glass construction and tungsten slug assembly, demonstrating no parametric shift after 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose per Microsemi MicroNote 050. It shows no annealing effects or permanent degradation in Zener voltage or dynamic impedance. JANTXV1N4985CUS/TR is routinely deployed in LEO and GEO satellite power systems where radiation tolerance is mandatory.
