MA2S37600L

Overview

The Panasonic MA2S37600L is a silicon epitaxial planar variable capacitance diode designed for VCO applications in UHF radio equipment. It operates with a maximum reverse voltage of 6V and features a junction temperature rating of 150°C. Key electrical characteristics include a typical diode capacitance of 16.00 pF at 1V reverse bias and 8.90 pF at 3V, measured at 1 MHz. The series resistance is specified as 0.3 Ω at 470 MHz when capacitance is 9 pF. Reverse current is limited to 10 nA at 6V. The component utilizes an SS-Mini type package (SC-79) for downsizing and automatic insertion.

Feature Summary

• Small series resistance optimized for high-frequency performance
• SS-Mini type package enabling equipment downsizing and automated taping

Applications

• Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) for UHF radio equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lifecycle status on the manufacturer's official website before procurement, as this product falls under maintenance or discontinued categories. Confirm that the SC-79 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure design compliance with absolute maximum ratings to prevent failure during transient states such as power-on or mode-switching.

Selection Notes

Select this component for standard electronic equipment where low series resistance and compact packaging are required for UHF circuits. Consider the 6V reverse voltage limit and 150°C junction temperature capability during thermal analysis. Verify that the capacitance variation range between 1V and 3V bias meets the tuning requirements of the target oscillator circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MA2S376 series of silicon epitaxial planar variable capacitance diodes manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components.
