JAN2N6987U

Overview

The JAN2N6987U is a quad PNP silicon switching transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60 V and a maximum collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 60 V. The device supports a maximum DC collector current of 600 mA with a power dissipation rating of 400 mW in the LCC-20 surface-mount package. The emitter-base voltage (VEBO) is rated at 5 V, and the collector-emitter saturation voltage is 1.6 V. The component operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

Feature Summary

• Quad configuration integrating four independent PNP transistors into a single compact package for space-constrained designs.
• Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/558 standards, ensuring reliability for demanding military and aerospace applications.
• Silicon construction provides stable switching performance across an extended operating temperature range up to +200°C.

Applications

• Military-grade switching circuits requiring high reliability and radiation hardness.
• Aerospace control systems utilizing surface-mount technology for weight reduction.
• High-temperature industrial logic interfaces and driver stages.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required packaging format, as the base part number may be available in bulk or reel configurations. Confirm that the manufacturer documentation explicitly lists the requested suffix as functionally equivalent to the standard JAN2N6987U specification. Ensure compliance with the MIL-PRF-19500/558 qualification level stated in the datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad PNP array is required for high-voltage switching applications in harsh environments. The 60 V rating and 600 mA current capacity suit moderate-power signal processing tasks. Consider the LCC-20 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management requirements against the 400 mW power dissipation limit at elevated ambient temperatures.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 2N6987 family of multiple PNP silicon switching transistors. It serves as the surface-mount variant of the through-hole 2N6987, offering similar electrical characteristics in a compact form factor. The JAN prefix indicates it meets the strict screening and qualification requirements of the Military grade category defined by the relevant performance specifications.

Replacement Considerations

The JAN2N6987U is the direct surface-mount replacement for the through-hole JAN2N6987. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting other quad PNP arrays, as lead configurations differ between LCC-20 and DIP packages. Cross-reference with other MIL-qualified quad PNP transistors only if mechanical mounting allows for adapter solutions.
