JAN2N3500L

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The JAN2N3500L is a silicon NPN single bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It utilizes a TO-5 metal can package for through-hole mounting. The device supports a maximum DC collector current of 300 mA and withstands a collector-emitter voltage of 150 V. Power dissipation is rated at 1 W, with a collector-base voltage of 150 V and an emitter-base voltage of 6 V. The saturation voltage is specified at 400 mV. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to +200°C. DC current gain ranges from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 120.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and lot traceability documentation required for your procurement contract. Ensure that the receiving inspection procedures align with military specification requirements. Confirm that the component meets all necessary environmental testing criteria before integration into final assemblies.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high-temperature performance and radiation hardness are critical design constraints. The TO-5 package facilitates robust mechanical mounting in vibration-prone applications. Evaluate the thermal management requirements carefully due to the 1 W power dissipation limit within the metal enclosure.
