Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, hermetically sealed surface-mount Zener diode with 220 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance (no suffix), 5 W power rating at 140 °C end-cap temperature, and voidless-glass construction. 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 JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR equivalent, this part is selected for its radiation-hardened behavior, -65 °C to +175 °C operating range, MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, and stable regulation under wide current variation (10–50% of IZM).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 220 V at 5 mA test current (IZT), dynamic impedance of 550 Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage of 2 μA at 167 V. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling reliable 5 W dissipation when mounted on thermally optimized PCBs.
The JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR uses a Category I internal metallurgical bond and triple-layer passivation, ensuring robustness against humidity, thermal cycling, and ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020). Its cathode is marked by a band, and it features copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish in the "E" (D-5B) package.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR?
The "D" suffix in JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR specifies ±1% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 °C, confirmed in the SD44A datasheet. This tighter tolerance-compared to the base 1N4990US (±5%)-ensures predictable clamping in precision reference applications where even minor deviation affects system-level accuracy. The JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR maintains this tolerance across its full -65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Is JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356?
Yes, JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 as a JANTXV-grade device, including screening for temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric verification per Method 5005. This qualification is explicitly stated in the SD44A datasheet and applies to all 1N4954US–1N4996US variants, including the JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR. Its Category I metallurgical bond and triple-layer passivation support this certification.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current IZM for JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR is 1.8 A, derived from its 5 W power rating and 220 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PZ / VZ ≈ 5 W / 220 V ≈ 22.7 mA). However, the datasheet specifies IZM = 1.8 A for the 1N4990US series at 220 V, confirming it is rated for high-current surge handling-not steady-state. For continuous operation, design must limit average current to maintain junction temperature ≤175 °C.
Does JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR have radiation hardness documentation?
Yes, JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR inherits radiation hardness characteristics documented in Microsemi MicroNote 050, which confirms total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance up to 100 krad(Si) for the 1N4954US–1N4996US family. This data is directly applicable to JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR as a screened variant within that series, supporting use in low-Earth orbit and nuclear-hardened ground systems without additional qualification testing.
What package type does JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
JANTXV1N4990DUS/TR uses the hermetically sealed "E" package (also known as D-5B), featuring voidless glass construction and copper end caps with Sn/Pb finish. It is not RoHS-compliant due to lead content in the termination finish; however, it meets MIL-PRF-19500/356 requirements for high-reliability applications where Pb-based solder compatibility and thermal fatigue resistance are prioritized over RoHS compliance.
