Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as multiple entities produce this part number. Confirm compliance with required military specifications such as JAN, JANTX, or JANS if applicable to the design. Ensure the TO-39 package dimensions and pinout match the system requirements. Request material declarations and environmental compliance documentation from the supplier.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing is mandatory for environmental protection. Consider the 60V VCEO and 0.2A IC limits for circuit design. Evaluate the need for specific qualification levels like JANTXV or JANS based on mission reliability requirements. Compare thermal dissipation capabilities against system constraints.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The 2N697 belongs to the class of hermetically sealed silicon NPN transistors. It is distinct from standard plastic-packaged equivalents due to its metal can construction. The part is historically associated with military-grade semiconductor manufacturing processes. It serves as a robust discrete solution for harsh environment electronics.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering hermetically sealed TO-39 NPN transistors. Verify that substitute parts meet the same VCEO, IC, and qualification standards. Check for dimensional compatibility with existing PCB or chassis mounting structures.
