Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4986US/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 a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 330 Ω at 10 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability aerospace, defense, and downhole instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4986US/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4986US/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4986US/TR application, or JANTXV1N4986US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its voidless-glass hermetic construction, Category I metallurgical bond, radiation-hardened behavior per MicroNote 050, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener regulation across wide current (10 mA to 930 mA) and temperature (–65 °C to +175 °C) ranges. Its 150 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.105 %/°C and maintains regulation stability with ΔVZ ≤ 13 V between 10% and 50% of IZM.
The "E" package (D-5B) uses tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish, enabling direct solder attachment without adhesive. Thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, supporting stable 5 W operation when mounted on thermally optimized PCB pads per Microsemi's recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 150 V ±5% at IZT = 8 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 330 Ω @ IZT = 8 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA @ VR = 114 V - ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.105 %/°C @ IZT - predictable positive drift enables compensation in precision references |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 0.75 A @ 8.3 ms - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports operation in extreme environments including space and oilfield tools |
Pinout & Package
The JANTXV1N4986US/TR uses the "E" package (also designated D-5B), a hermetically sealed voidless glass case with tungsten slugs and copper end caps finished with Sn/Pb. Polarity is marked by a cathode band on the glass body. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode, with no internal leads or third connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lowest potential point in Zener regulator configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / Regulated output node | Provides stable 150 V reference when biased above breakdown; marked by band |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or corrosive environments |
| Category I metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity and thermal cycling reliability exceeding 1000 cycles between –65 °C and +175 °C |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for external ESD protection during handling and assembly |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Validated per Microsemi MicroNote 050 for total ionizing dose tolerance >100 krad(Si) |
| MIL-PRF-19500/356 JANTXV qualification | Includes full lot acceptance testing (LAT), burn-in, and parametric screening for mission-critical use |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4986US/TR?
The JANTXV1N4986US/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at IZT = 8 mA and TA = 25 °C. No suffix indicates the standard 5% grade; tighter tolerances require C (±2%) or D (±1%) suffixes not present in this part number. JANTXV1N4986US/TR meets this specification under full MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V screening.
Does JANTXV1N4986US/TR require external heat sinking?
No, JANTXV1N4986US/TR does not require external heat sinking when mounted on a PCB with Microsemi's recommended D-5B pad layout and operated within its 5 W derating curve. Its 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance allows full 5 W dissipation at TEC = 140 °C. Adequate copper area (≥0.5 in² per terminal) and via stitching to internal planes are sufficient for thermal management in most JANTXV1N4986US/TR applications.
Is JANTXV1N4986US/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
JANTXV1N4986US/TR features Sn/Pb terminations and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its end caps are specified with tin/lead finish per the SD44A datasheet, and Microsemi does not validate performance beyond 220 °C peak profile. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, engineers should consult Microchip's current-generation Zener offerings or consider JANTXV1N4986US/TR only in Sn/Pb-compatible assembly lines.
How is polarity identified on JANTXV1N4986US/TR?
Polarity on JANTXV1N4986US/TR is indicated by a visible cathode band on the glass body-consistent with industry-standard diode marking. The banded end is the cathode, and the unmarked end is the anode. This marking is verified in the "MECHANICAL AND PACKAGING" section of the SD44A datasheet and remains visible post-reflow, enabling optical inspection and automated placement verification for JANTXV1N4986US/TR.
What is the maximum surge current rating for JANTXV1N4986US/TR?
JANTXV1N4986US/TR is rated for a nonrepetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 0.75 A at an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as defined in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table of the SD44A datasheet. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or catastrophic failure, making it suitable for overvoltage protection in pulsed power systems using JANTXV1N4986US/TR.
