JANTXV2N6988

Overview

The JANTXV2N6988 is a quad PNP silicon switching transistor array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features four independent NPN transistors in a single package, designed for high-reliability applications. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 50 V and a continuous collector current of 800 mA per transistor. Total power dissipation reaches 1.5 W at 25°C ambient temperature. It operates within an extended junction temperature range from -65°C to +200°C. The component utilizes a TO-116 through-hole package with 14 pins.

Feature Summary

• Quad configuration integrating four independent NPN transistors
• Extended operating temperature range up to +200°C
• High collector current capability of 800 mA
• Qualified for MIL-PRF-19500/558 standards

Applications

• Military aerospace systems requiring radiation tolerance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and qualification level against the original design specification. Confirm that the TO-116 package dimensions match the PCB footprint requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by the end-use environment. Ensure availability aligns with long-term supply needs due to potential lifecycle constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad NPN configuration is required for space-constrained designs. Consider the 1.5 W total power dissipation limit for thermal management planning. Verify that the 50 V collector-emitter voltage meets the circuit's maximum operating conditions. Evaluate the TO-116 package suitability for through-hole assembly processes.
