Product details
Overview
JANTXV1N4993DUS/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 300 V ±5%, dynamic impedance of 950 Ω at 4 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 JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR datasheet, JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR pinout, JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR application, or JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, hermetic glass package, Category I metallurgical bond, radiation-hardened construction, and 300 V regulation capability under wide thermal and current stress.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled Zener voltage regulation across 10–50% of IZM (4 mA), exhibiting ΔVZ ≤ 32 V per Note 1. Its thermal resistance is 7 °C/W junction-to-end-cap, enabling stable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature when properly mounted on thermally robust PCBs.
The JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR uses a tungsten-slug, voidless hard-glass case with copper end caps and Sn/Pb finish, polarity marked by cathode band, and conforms to EIA-481-B tape-and-reel packaging. It delivers 300 V regulation with 2 μA max reverse leakage at VR = 228 V and 1.5 V forward voltage at 1.0 A.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4993US | No military screening; commercial grade only; same electrical specs and D-5B package | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500/356 qualification, radiation hardness, and extended temperature screening | Select when cost-sensitive non-military designs require identical Zener performance without JANTXV reliability assurance |
| JANTX1N4993DUS/TR | Same Zener voltage and package, but screened to JANTX (not JANTXV) level per MIL-PRF-19500/356 | Lower temperature cycling and burn-in requirements; not qualified for highest-reliability flight programs | Choose for ground-support equipment or less critical subsystems where JANTXV-level screening is unnecessary |
Compared with JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR, the 1N4993US offers identical electrical behavior at lower cost but no military qualification, while JANTX1N4993DUS/TR provides partial screening-making the JANTXV variant essential for mission-critical flight hardware requiring full MIL-PRF-19500/356 compliance and radiation tolerance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR?
The JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 300 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, as specified in the Microsemi SD44A datasheet. This tolerance applies at 25 °C and IZT = 4 mA, and remains stable across the full –65 °C to +175 °C operating range due to its Category I metallurgical bond and hermetic construction. No tighter tolerance variants (e.g., ±1% or ±2%) exist for this specific part number.
Does JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR have radiation hardness certification?
Yes, JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR is inherently radiation-hardened per Microsemi MicroNote 050, with documented performance at total ionizing dose (TID) levels exceeding 100 krad(Si). This radiation tolerance is intrinsic to its voidless hermetic glass package and tungsten-slug construction-not added via process modification-and is verified through lot-specific testing per MIL-PRF-19500/356.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR is 4 mA, derived from its 5 W power rating and 300 V Zener voltage (IZM = PZ / VZ = 5 W / 300 V ≈ 0.0167 A). However, the datasheet specifies IZM = 4 mA at 25 °C, reflecting derating for thermal safety-actual usable current depends on end-cap temperature and PCB thermal design.
Is JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
No-JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR features Sn/Pb (tin/lead) terminations and is not qualified for lead-free reflow. Its end caps are copper with Sn/Pb finish, and the datasheet explicitly warns against Pb-free assembly. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult Microchip's current-generation radiation-hardened Zener offerings, as JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR remains a legacy Sn/Pb product.
What package outline does JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR use?
JANTXV1N4993DUS/TR uses the "E" package, also known as D-5B per JEDEC, a surface-mount hermetic glass case with two axial end caps. Dimensions and pad layout are defined in the SD44A datasheet, including optional center adhesive spot (0.080″ diameter) between pads. The package is not compatible with SOIC, SOD, or DO-214 footprints.
