JANTX2N6987U

Overview

The JANTX2N6987U is a quad PNP silicon switching transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. Qualified under MIL-PRF-19500/558, this component features an NPN configuration variant in the broader family but specifically denotes PNP operation for this part number with a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60 V and a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 60 V. The emitter-base voltage (VEBO) is rated at 5.0 V. It supports a maximum DC collector current of 600 mA and total power dissipation of 1.5 W. Operating temperatures range from -65°C to +200°C. The device utilizes a surface-mount LCC-20 package style.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade qualification per MIL-PRF-19500/558 standards ensuring reliability in harsh environments.
• Quad configuration integrating four independent PNP transistors within a single compact package.
• High thermal stability supporting junction temperatures up to +200°C.

Applications

• Military aerospace switching circuits requiring high reliability.
• Harsh environment signal processing systems.
• Ruggedized analog and digital interface applications.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix U indicates surface mount packaging distinct from through-hole variants. Confirm MIL-PRF-19500/558 qualification level matches project requirements. Check RoHS status as military parts often lack standard compliance. Validate manufacturer documentation for lot traceability and test reports required for defense contracts.

Selection Notes

Compare against JAN2N6987U for standard military grade or JANTXV2N6987U for higher performance tiers. Ensure the LCC-20 footprint aligns with PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 1.5W dissipation rating in enclosed spaces. Consider lead time implications associated with specialized military semiconductor production cycles.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 2N6987 series of multiple PNP silicon switching transistors. It shares functional similarities with the 2N6988 NPN counterpart. The 'JANTX' prefix denotes a specific military quality tier above JAN but below JANS. The 'U' suffix typically identifies the surface-mount package variation within the Microchip portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include JAN2N6987U and JANTXV2N6987U. Cross-reference pinouts for LCC-20 compatibility. Verify electrical parameters match system requirements before substitution.
