2N6193

Overview

The Microchip Technology 2N6193 is a PNP medium power silicon transistor qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/561. It features a hermetically sealed metal can TO-39 package with three bottom wire terminals. Key electrical ratings include a collector-emitter voltage of 100 Vdc, a collector-base voltage of 100 Vdc, and an emitter-base voltage of 6.0 Vdc. The device supports a maximum continuous collector current of 5.0 A and total power dissipation of 1.0 W. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed metal can construction for environmental protection
• Qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/561 standards for reliability
• High thermal stability supporting extended operating temperatures up to 200°C

Applications

• Military aerospace circuits requiring radiation hardening
• High-reliability industrial control systems
• Defense communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific qualification level (JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV) required for your design, as suffixes indicate different reliability tiers. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as military variants may not meet standard environmental directives. Ensure the supplier provides traceable documentation matching the MIL-PRF-19500/561 specification. Check for lead time constraints associated with specialized military-grade components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high reliability and wide temperature operation are critical. The TO-39 metal package offers superior heat dissipation compared to plastic alternatives. Consider the 5A current capacity and 100V voltage rating against circuit demands. Evaluate the need for hermetic sealing based on the deployment environment's humidity and contamination risks.

Part Context

This transistor belongs to the family of medium power silicon transistors designed for rugged applications. Manufactured by Microchip Technology, it serves as a robust switching and amplification element in harsh environments. The part is distinct from commercial equivalents due to its strict manufacturing controls and qualification testing under military specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include JANTX2N6193 and JANTXV2N6193, which share identical electrical characteristics but differ in qualification levels. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
