JANTX2N5796A

Overview

The JANTX2N5796A is a dual PNP bipolar junction transistor array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features two independent PNP transistors housed in a TO-78-6 metal can package designed for through-hole mounting. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 60 V and a continuous collector current of 600 mA per transistor. Power dissipation is rated at 600 mW. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, adhering to MIL-PRF-19500/346 specifications for military-grade reliability.

Feature Summary

• Dual PNP configuration providing two independent switching or amplification channels within a single package
• TO-78-6 hermetic metal can construction ensuring environmental stability and mechanical robustness
• Military-grade qualification compliant with MIL-PRF-19500/346 standards for high-reliability applications

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems requiring radiation-hardened or high-reliability components
• Aviation ground support equipment and avionics subsystems
• Defense communication infrastructure and signal processing units
• Harsh environment industrial control systems demanding long-term operational stability

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the 'JANTX' suffix, which denotes military screening and testing per MIL-PRF-19500/346. Standard commercial variants lack this rigorous qualification. Confirm the package type is TO-78-6 and ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation required for defense and aerospace procurement compliance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual PNP topology is required in a hermetic metal package for high-reliability environments. It serves as a direct replacement for standard 2N5796 devices where military screening is mandatory. Ensure circuit design accommodates the 600 mA current limit and 600 mW power dissipation constraints within the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the JANTX series of bipolar transistors produced by Microchip Technology. The series targets defense and aerospace markets requiring components that meet strict military performance and reliability standards. The JANTX designation indicates enhanced testing and screening compared to commercial equivalents, ensuring consistent performance in critical applications.

Replacement Considerations

The standard commercial equivalent is the 2N5796. Substitution requires verifying that the application does not mandate military-grade screening. Other dual PNP arrays in TO-78 packages may be considered if electrical parameters match, but compatibility must be confirmed against MIL-PRF-19500/346 requirements.
