Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, voidless-hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode with 220 V nominal Zener voltage, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 5 W power rating at 140 °C end-cap temperature, and rated for operation from −65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in high-reliability power regulation circuits within aerospace avionics and radiation-hardened instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetic glass package, Category I metallurgical bond, 19 mA maximum continuous Zener current, and −0.115 %/°C temperature coefficient - critical for stable biasing in extended-temperature analog front-ends.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualified 1N4954US–1N4996US series, featuring voidless hard-glass construction with tungsten slugs and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers regulated voltage across a broad operating current range (10% to 50% of IZM) with ΔVZ ≤ 19 V under specified test conditions.
The JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR exhibits 550 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current (IZK), 2 μA maximum reverse leakage at 167 V, and 8.0 V forward voltage at 1.0 A - confirming robust conduction capability and low-knee leakage essential for fail-safe protection in mission-critical DC rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 220 V ±2% at 5 mA - ensures tight regulation for high-voltage reference nodes in analog signal chains. |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - supports sustained operation in thermally constrained military enclosures without forced cooling. |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables deployment in jet engine control units and space-qualified power supplies. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZK) | 550 Ω @ IZK = 5 mA - maintains stable regulation under low-current bias conditions typical in sensor excitation circuits. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 2 μA max @ 167 V - minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance voltage monitor inputs. |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | −0.115 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in precision voltage references over wide thermal excursions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR | ±1% tolerance (D suffix) vs. ±2% (C suffix); otherwise identical electrical and mechanical specs. | Required where tighter initial accuracy needed for metrology-grade references, not general-purpose clamping. | Select JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR only when system-level error budget demands sub-1% absolute voltage error at 25 °C. |
| 1N4990US (commercial grade) | No JAN/JANTXV qualification; no radiation hardness data; wider −65 °C to +150 °C operating range. | Suitable for non-mission-critical industrial controls but excluded from flight hardware or nuclear instrumentation. | Choose 1N4990US only for cost-sensitive terrestrial applications where MIL-PRF-19500/356 compliance is not mandated. |
Compared with JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR offers higher initial accuracy at equal reliability, while 1N4990US sacrifices qualification and radiation tolerance for lower cost and simplified procurement - making the C-suffix variant optimal for balanced performance in certified aerospace systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 220 V with a tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is guaranteed at 25 °C with 5 mA test current and applies across the full −65 °C to +175 °C operating range per MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements. The JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR maintains this specification under thermal stress and long-term aging due to its voidless hermetic construction.
Does JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR require derating above 140 °C?
Yes, JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR must be linearly derated above 140 °C end-cap temperature, reaching zero power dissipation at 175 °C. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, so ambient thermal design must ensure end-cap temperature remains ≤140 °C at full 5 W load. The JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR datasheet specifies this derating curve explicitly for MIL-qualified operation.
Is JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR compatible with lead-free solder reflow?
No - JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR features Sn/Pb (tin/lead) terminations and is not qualified for lead-free reflow profiles. Its end caps use traditional eutectic solder finish, and exposure to >260 °C peak temperatures risks delamination or bond degradation. For JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR assembly, standard Sn63/Pb37 reflow with peak ≤235 °C is required per Microsemi's packaging specifications.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR?
JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 2 μA at 167 V and 25 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains ≤5 μA across the full −65 °C to +175 °C operating range. Low leakage is critical for JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR use in high-impedance reference dividers and battery-backed monitoring circuits.
How does the temperature coefficient affect JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR in precision applications?
JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR has a temperature coefficient of −0.115 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage decreases by approximately 253 mV per °C rise at 220 V. In precision applications, this drift must be compensated via circuit design (e.g., matched TC resistors or digital calibration). The JANTXV1N4990CUS/TR datasheet provides full αVZ characterization curves to support such compensation modeling.
