Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm qualification level and testing requirements. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required military specification compliance. Confirm package type and lead finish details directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad PNP array is required in a TO-116 package. Verify that the 60V rating and 600mA current capacity meet circuit demands. Consider the high junction temperature capability for environments exceeding standard commercial limits. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for the 14-pin DIP format.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N698 series of multiple PNP silicon switching transistors. It shares the base die and electrical characteristics with other variants like the JAN and JANTXV versions. The primary distinction lies in the quality assurance and screening levels defined by the specific suffix code.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the JAN2N6987 and JANTXV2N6987. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement meets the same MIL-PRF-19500/558 qualification standards. Check if the alternative suffix requires different handling or testing procedures.
