2N5795A

Overview

The 2N5795A is a dual small-signal bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is housed in a TO-78 metal can package and is classified as a non-RoHS compliant component. The device is designed for high-reliability applications, offering radiation tolerance levels including M, D, P, L, and R per MIL-PRF-19500/496 standards. It supports JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, JANS, and JANSR qualification grades, making it suitable for aerospace and defense environments requiring robust performance under extreme conditions.

Feature Summary

• Dual small-signal BJT configuration within a single TO-78 metal can package
• Radiation tolerant design supporting multiple hardness levels (M, D, P, L, R)
• Qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/496 standards for military and space applications
• Available in various reliability grades including JANS and JANSR

Applications

• Aerospace and defense signal processing circuits
• Spacecraft electronic systems requiring radiation hardening
• High-reliability amplifier stages in harsh environments
• Military communication infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the required radiation tolerance level and qualification grade (e.g., JANS, JANTXV). Confirm that the non-RoHS status aligns with project compliance requirements. Ensure the TO-78 package type matches the designated footprint. Cross-reference the MIL-PRF-19500/496 specification to validate the exact hardness level needed for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual small-signal amplification is required in radiation-intensive environments. The TO-78 package provides hermetic sealing essential for space and military use. Consider the available radiation tolerance levels to match the mission's exposure profile. Verify that the non-RoHS designation does not conflict with specific regulatory constraints of the end product.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N5795 series, which includes variants like 2N5795, 2N5796, and their AU/U counterparts. These devices are standardized under MIL-PRF-19500/496, ensuring consistent performance across different manufacturers adhering to the same military specifications. The series is widely recognized in legacy and modern high-reliability electronics for its proven track record in critical systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 2N5795A electrical characteristics and radiation tolerance levels. Equivalent parts from other manufacturers must comply with MIL-PRF-19500/496. Verify package compatibility and lead configuration before substitution. Ensure the alternative part offers identical or superior radiation hardness ratings for the intended application.
