JANTX2N6987U/TR

Overview

The JANTX2N6987U/TR is a quad PNP silicon switching transistor array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features four independent PNP transistors housed in an LCC-20 surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60 V and a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 60 V, with an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) rating of 5 V. It handles a maximum DC collector current of 600 mA per element and dissipates up to 400 mW of power. The unit operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

Feature Summary

• Quad configuration integrating four independent PNP switching elements into a single compact package
• High thermal stability enabling operation at junction temperatures up to +200°C
• Surface-mount LCC-20 packaging designed for automated assembly processes

Applications

• Military aerospace switching circuits requiring high-temperature reliability
• Spacecraft avionics control systems utilizing ruggedized semiconductor arrays
• Harsh environment signal processing interfaces demanding extended thermal margins

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the reel quantity and tape specifications. Ensure that the procurement channel provides traceability certificates required for military-grade components. Confirm RoHS status and material declarations prior to finalizing orders to meet regulatory compliance standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad PNP array is required for high-temperature applications exceeding standard commercial limits. Compare the 400 mW power dissipation limit against total circuit load requirements. Verify that the LCC-20 footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and that the 60 V voltage ratings suit the system's operational headroom.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N6987 family of multiple PNP silicon switching transistors qualified under MIL-PRF-19500/558. The JAN designation indicates space-grade qualification, while the TXV level specifies enhanced screening and testing protocols beyond standard military requirements. The U suffix typically denotes the surface-mount variant of the traditional through-hole TO-116 package.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the JAN2N6987U/TR and JANTX2N6987U without the trailing slash if available. Cross-reference the 2N6987U datasheet for pinout compatibility. Verify that alternative packages maintain equivalent thermal resistance and electrical characteristics.
