Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation, with a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V at 8 mA test current, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and operating junction temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power regulation circuits for aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR equivalent, this part delivers verified 150 V regulation with <1.0 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) across 10–50% of IZM, ultra-low leakage (<2 µA at 114 V), and radiation-hardened voidless-glass construction compliant with MIL-PRF-19500/356.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled dynamic impedance (ZZ = 190 Ω at IZT = 8 mA) and low thermal resistance (10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap). Its Category III internal metallurgical bond ensures mechanical robustness under shock/vibration and long-term stability in extreme thermal cycling.
The JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.105 %/°C and maintains regulation down to IZK = 5 mA (ZZK = 1250 Ω), enabling stable reference operation across wide load and temperature variations without external bias compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4986US | Same 150 V rating but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); higher ΔVZ (1.5 V vs. 1.0 V) | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost for non-critical rails | Select JANTXV1N4986US only if ±5% tolerance and relaxed voltage regulation meet system margin requirements. |
| CDLL150 | Commercial-grade 150 V Zener; plastic package; max 1 W power; not radiation-hardened or MIL-qualified | Limited to benign environments; unsuitable for space, avionics, or safety-critical systems | CDLL150 may be used for lab prototyping or terrestrial industrial controls where reliability and radiation immunity are not mandated. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4986US and CDLL150, the JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, 5 W power handling, hermetic voidless-glass construction, and MIL-PRF-19500/356 JANTXV qualification-making it the sole option for mission-critical 150 V regulation where parameter stability, surge resilience, and radiation hardness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with a ±2% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tight tolerance is verified per MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening and ensures consistent regulation performance across production lots and temperature extremes from −65 °C to +175 °C.
Does JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR require heatsinking in standard PCB layouts?
No additional heatsink is required for JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR when operated at ≤5 W within its specified derating curve. Its 10 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance allows direct mounting on standard FR-4 PCBs with adequate copper pour; full 5 W dissipation is supported at TEC = 125 °C per the datasheet's linear derating specification.
Is JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR features Sn/Pb-finished copper end caps and is qualified for Sn/Pb soldering profiles. While not lead-free process qualified, its hermetic glass body tolerates peak reflow temperatures up to 235 °C for ≤60 seconds-enabling compatibility with selective lead-free assembly when using appropriate thermal profiling and underfill adhesives.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR at 114 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR is 2 µA at VR = 114 V and TA = 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance reference circuits and preserves accuracy in battery-backed or low-quiescent systems.
How does the temperature coefficient of JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR affect long-term voltage stability?
JANTXV1N4986CUS/TR has a temperature coefficient of +0.105 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by ~0.158 V per 10 °C rise above 25 °C. This predictable, linear drift enables accurate system-level compensation in avionics and satellite applications where ambient temperature varies widely across mission phases.
