Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure that the procurement channel provides traceability certificates required for military or space-grade components. Confirm RoHS status as indicated in manufacturer datasheets prior to finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high reliability and radiation hardness are required alongside moderate voltage ratings. Compare the 30 mA current limit and 350 mW dissipation against circuit requirements. Consider the TO-78-6 footprint constraints during PCB layout design for compatible housing integration.
