JAN2N1890S

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The JAN2N1890S is a small signal NPN silicon bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a collector current rating of 0.5A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 60V. The device is housed in a TO-5 metal can package, which is similar to the standard TO-5 form factor, and contains three pins. This component is designed for general-purpose amplification and switching applications within military or high-reliability specifications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as historical records indicate production by entities such as Raytheon Company under this designation. Confirm that the received unit matches the JAN2N1890S part number and TO-5 package style. Ensure compliance with any applicable military specifications required for your design environment before integration.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a hermetically sealed NPN transistor with 60V blocking capability and 0.5A current handling is required. The TO-5 package offers distinct thermal and mechanical properties compared to plastic packages. Verify pinout compatibility with existing circuit layouts designed for standard TO-5 configurations.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N1890 series of small signal transistors. Microchip Technology acquired assets from former manufacturers like Raytheon, maintaining continuity for legacy military parts. The JAN prefix typically denotes a specific quality level or screening standard associated with military procurement channels.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the standard 2N1890 if military screening is not mandatory. Verify pinout and electrical parameters against potential substitutes to ensure functional compatibility in the target application.
