JANTXV2N6987

Overview

The JANTXV2N6987/TR is a quad PNP silicon switching transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features four independent NPN transistors in a single package, designed for through-hole mounting in TO-116 (TO-5) style packages. The device supports a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V and a continuous collector current of 600 mA per transistor. Total power dissipation is rated at 1.5 W. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C junction temperature. The component meets MIL-PRF-19500/558 qualification standards for high-reliability applications.

Feature Summary

• Quad configuration integrating four independent PNP transistors
• Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/558 for military-grade reliability
• High thermal stability with operation up to +200°C junction temperature
• Through-hole compatible TO-116 package design

Applications

• Military aerospace switching circuits
• High-reliability industrial control systems
• Ruggedized communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., /TR) against official Microchip documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging versus bulk tube delivery. Confirm that the JAN prefix indicates standard military qualification levels rather than enhanced screening. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current manufacturing processes and material compliance requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad PNP configuration is required in a single package to save board space. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 60 V CEO. Verify that the total power dissipation of 1.5 W can be managed within the system's thermal constraints. Consider the TO-116 footprint during PCB layout and mechanical integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N6987 series of quad PNP transistors produced by Microchip Technology under its Microsemi division. It is a radiation-hardened or high-reliability variant intended for demanding environments. The series provides a compact solution for multiple switching functions compared to discrete single transistors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the JAN2N6987 or 2N6987U from Microchip. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as hFE and VCEO before substitution. Other manufacturers may offer equivalent quad PNP transistors, but military qualification must be confirmed separately.
