JANTX2N3762

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The JANTX2N3762 is a PNP switching silicon bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a single configuration housed in a TO-39-3 through-hole package. Key electrical ratings include a maximum DC collector current of 1.5 A, a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 40 V, and a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 40 V. The device has an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5 V and a power dissipation (Pd) of 1 W. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +200°C. DC current gain (hFE) varies between a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 120.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Robust mechanical construction via TO-39-3 hermetic-style through-hole packaging

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose switching applications requiring PNP logic levels
• Industrial control systems operating within extreme temperature environments
• Aerospace and defense electronic assemblies utilizing radiation-hardened components

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and revision level against the latest Microchip datasheet before finalizing procurement. Confirm that the required hFE bin matches the design specifications, as gain values vary. Ensure the TO-39-3 package dimensions align with the target PCB or chassis mounting constraints. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCNs) that may affect material composition or manufacturing location.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP switching transistor with high-temperature tolerance is required. The 1.5 A current rating and 40 V voltage limits define the operational boundaries. Consider the TO-39-3 package for applications needing robust mechanical attachment. Verify that the 1 W power dissipation limit accommodates the thermal management strategy of the host system without exceeding the +200°C junction temperature threshold.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the JANTX series of radiation-hardened bipolar transistors produced by Microchip Technology. The JANTX designation indicates enhanced screening and reliability standards compared to commercial grades. It is part of a broader portfolio of discrete semiconductors designed for mission-critical environments where standard commercial parts may fail due to radiation exposure or harsh thermal conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official Microchip substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic replacements may not match the radiation hardness or extended temperature specifications.
