Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount, hermetically sealed, voidless-glass 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 180 V, ±5% tolerance (no suffix), 5 mA test current, and 450 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 for high-reliability power regulation in aerospace power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its military-grade hermetic glass package, 180 V regulation stability across wide temperature and current ranges, radiation-hardened construction, and compatibility with high-temperature PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision voltage reference and shunt regulator in high-reliability DC power conditioning circuits. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal and Category III internal metallurgical bond ensure long-term parameter stability under thermal cycling, humidity, and radiation exposure.
It delivers regulated 180 V output at 5 mA test current with 450 Ω dynamic impedance, 2 μA maximum reverse leakage at 144 V, and a temperature coefficient of +0.110 %/°C - enabling predictable drift compensation in analog monitoring and feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 180 V ±5% at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for overvoltage clamping and reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 125 °C - supports continuous operation in high-temp environments with linear derating to zero at 175 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 450 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - indicates moderate regulation stiffness suitable for low-precision reference and coarse clamping |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max at VR = 144 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.110 %/°C - enables predictable positive drift modeling for temperature-compensated designs |
| Max Continuous Current (IZM) | 600 mA - sets upper limit for sustained shunt regulation without thermal runaway |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 2.2 A @ 8.3 ms - provides transient overvoltage absorption capability in pulse-prone systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: Hermetically sealed voidless hard glass case with tungsten slugs, "E" outline (also designated D-5B), surface-mount configuration. Terminations are copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish; cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in shunt regulation; carries full load current during forward bias |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; establishes regulated voltage reference at cathode-to-anode potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voidless hermetic glass seal | Eliminates internal moisture and voids to prevent parametric shift and early failure in harsh environments |
| Category III metallurgical bond | Ensures mechanical integrity and thermal cycle reliability exceeding 1000 cycles between –65 °C and +175 °C |
| MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification | Validates performance to military screening, testing, and traceability requirements for Class V (space-level) applications |
| Radiation hardness | Inherently tolerant to total ionizing dose (TID) per MicroNote 050 - suitable for low-earth orbit electronics |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands ≥4 kV HBM per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 without parameter degradation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4988US | No TR suffix; bulk packaging instead of tape-and-reel; identical electrical specs and hermetic construction | Preferred for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered assemblies where reel handling is unnecessary | Select JANTXV1N4988US when automated pick-and-place is not required and cost-per-unit optimization is prioritized |
| 1N4988US | Commercial-grade (non-military) version; lacks MIL-PRF-19500/356 screening, radiation hardness, and extended temperature validation | Suitable only for benign-environment industrial controls, not aerospace or defense systems | Choose 1N4988US only for non-critical commercial applications where cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 180 V with a standard ±5% tolerance, as defined by MIL-PRF-19500/356 for the base part number without additional tolerance suffixes. This tolerance applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C and is verified during military screening.
Does JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR require derating above 125 °C?
Yes, JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR must be derated linearly above 125 °C ambient (TEC) to zero power at 175 °C. Its rated 5 W dissipation is valid only at TEC = 125 °C; at 150 °C, maximum allowable power drops to 2.5 W. This derating curve is specified in the SD44A datasheet and enforced during MIL-PRF-19500/356 thermal testing.
Is JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
No - JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR features Sn/Pb terminations and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its maximum junction temperature rating of +175 °C and glass-seal integrity assume traditional eutectic solder profiles. Lead-free reflow exceeds its thermal stress limits and may compromise hermeticity or metallurgical bonds.
What does the "DUS/TR" suffix indicate in JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR?
The "DUS/TR" suffix in JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR specifies the "D-5B" (E) surface-mount package ("DUS") and tape-and-reel packaging ("TR"). The "JANTXV" prefix denotes highest military screening level (V = verified), and "1N4988" identifies the 180 V Zener variant within the MIL-PRF-19500/356-qualified family.
How is radiation hardness documented for JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR?
Radiation hardness for JANTXV1N4988DUS/TR is documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050, which confirms inherent total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance due to its voidless-glass hermetic construction and Category III metallurgical bond. No additional rad-hard screening is required - the property is intrinsic to the device physics and process.
