Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR from Microsemi is a military-grade, voidless-hermetically-sealed surface-mount Zener diode rated for 5 W power dissipation at 140 °C end-cap temperature, with nominal Zener voltage of 270 V ±2% (C suffix), dynamic impedance of 800 Ω at 5 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range from –65 °C to +175 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in high-reliability aerospace power conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package with tungsten slugs, Category I metallurgical bond, radiation-hardened construction per MicroNote 050, and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 1N4954US–1N4996US family of surface-mount Zener regulators, designed for high-stability voltage regulation under extreme thermal and radiation environments. Its voidless-glass hermetic seal and triple-layer passivation ensure long-term reliability in vacuum and high-humidity conditions.
The JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR uses an internal Category I metallurgical bond and exhibits a temperature coefficient of +0.120%/°C at 5 mA, enabling predictable voltage drift across –65 °C to +175 °C. Its 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance supports stable operation at full 5 W rating when mounted on thermally optimized PCB pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 270 V ±2% at 5 mA - tight tolerance enables accurate reference in precision power supply feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 5 W @ TEC = 140 °C - requires thermal pad design with ≥1.5 cm² copper area for full-rated operation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 800 Ω @ IZT = 5 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage ripple under varying load |
| Max Reverse Leakage | 2 μA @ 206 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.120 %/°C @ 5 mA - positive slope allows predictable compensation in wide-temperature designs |
| Surge Current (8.3 ms) | 17.5 A - withstands transient overvoltage events such as lightning-induced surges in avionics |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - validated for operation in satellite power systems and jet engine controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JANTXV1N4992US | Same 270 V rating but ±5% tolerance (no C suffix); identical package, thermal, and radiation specs | Lacks tight tolerance needed for closed-loop feedback; acceptable for open-loop clamping only | Select JANTXV1N4992US where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy requirements |
| CDLL1N4992US | Commercial-grade version (non-military); same electrical specs but not MIL-PRF-19500 qualified; no radiation hardening | Not approved for flight-critical systems; limited to ground-test equipment or non-safety-critical subsystems | Choose CDLL1N4992US for lab prototypes or industrial controls where qualification overhead is unnecessary |
Compared with JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR, JANTXV1N4992US sacrifices ±2% voltage accuracy for broader availability and lower cost, while CDLL1N4992US omits military screening and radiation assurance-making JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR the sole choice for certified airborne or spaceborne voltage regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 270 V with ±2% tolerance, indicated by the "C" suffix per Microsemi's standard coding. This tighter tolerance is achieved through post-package screening and is validated across the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating range. The JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR maintains this specification under MIL-PRF-19500/356 testing protocols.
Is JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR suitable for space applications?
Yes, JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR is radiation-hardened to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose per Microsemi MicroNote 050 and qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/356 Class V. Its voidless hermetic glass package and Category I metallurgical bond make it suitable for LEO and GEO satellite power systems where long-term parametric stability is mandatory.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR is 5 mA at 25 °C, derating linearly to zero at +175 °C. At full 5 W dissipation, the device draws 18.5 mA at 270 V - this is only sustainable at TEC ≤ 140 °C with adequate PCB copper thermal mass. The JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR datasheet specifies 5 mA as the rated test current for VZ measurement.
Does JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR is inherently ESD-robust and tested to ≥4 kV Human Body Model per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. No external ESD protection circuitry is required during handling or in-circuit operation. This immunity is enabled by its triple-layer passivation and hermetic seal, both integral to the JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR construction.
What package outline does JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR use?
JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR uses the "E" package (also designated D-5B), a surface-mount hermetic glass case with tungsten slugs and copper end caps. Its dimensions and recommended PCB pad layout are documented in Microsemi SD44A.pdf, including optional center adhesive spot for enhanced mechanical retention. The JANTXV1N4992CUS/TR weighs 539 mg and complies with EIA-481-B tape-and-reel standards.
