JANSM2N5153L

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The JANSM2N5153L is a radiation-hardened PNP silicon power bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is designed for high-reliability applications requiring tolerance to ionizing radiation, with a total dose capability of 3 kRad (Si). The device utilizes a hermetically sealed TO-39 metal can package suitable for through-hole mounting. Key electrical ratings include a maximum collector current of 2 A, a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 80 V, and a collector-base breakdown voltage of 100 V. The unit supports a continuous power dissipation of 1 W and operates within an extended temperature range from -65°C to +200°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific radiation hardness level against project requirements, as this variant is rated for 3 kRad (Si). Confirm that the TO-39 lead frame material and pinout configuration match the existing board layout. Ensure procurement channels provide traceable documentation regarding the manufacturing lot and radiation testing certificates required for mission-critical deployments.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when design specifications demand radiation tolerance in addition to standard power switching capabilities. Compare the 3 kRad rating against alternative variants like JANSL or JANSF if higher radiation immunity is necessary. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics of the TO-39 package to ensure adequate heat sinking solutions are integrated into the system design.
