JANTX2N6989U

Overview

The JANTX2N6989U is a silicon NPN quad small-signal bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features four independent transistors in a single surface-mount package, specifically the LCC-20 form factor. The device supports a maximum collector current of 800 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V. Key electrical parameters include a collector-base voltage of 75 V, an emitter-base voltage of 6 V, and a power dissipation rating of 1 W. The component operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C, with a minimum DC current gain of 30 at 500 mA and 10 V.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed ceramic construction for environmental protection
• Quad configuration integrating four NPN transistors in one package
• Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/559 military standards

Applications

• General switching circuits
• Signal amplification
• Radio transmission systems
• Logic gate implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants such as /TR indicate tape-and-reel packaging while others may be bulk. Confirm that the procurement source provides components processed strictly according to MIL-PRF-19500/559 requirements. Ensure the supplier can provide necessary quality certifications for military-grade parts. Check for any recent manufacturing changes or PCNs issued by Microchip that might affect specifications or origin.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hermetically sealed, surface-mount quad NPN transistor is required for high-reliability applications. Compare against the JAN2N6989U if lower screening levels are acceptable, or the JANS2N6989U for enhanced radiation hardness. Consider the LCC-20 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 800 mA current rating and 50 V voltage limits meet the specific circuit demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N6989 family of quad NPN transistors produced by Microchip Technology under its Microsemi division. It is distinct from the PNP variant 2N6990 and the through-hole TO-116 version 2N6989. The JANTX prefix denotes a specific military screening level below the JANS radiation-hardened grade but above the standard JAN level.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Direct replacements require matching the LCC-20 package, NPN quad configuration, and MIL-PRF-19500/559 qualification.
