MA2SV0400L

Overview

The Panasonic MA2SV04 is a silicon epitaxial planar variable capacitance diode designed for Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) applications. It features good linearity and a large capacitance ratio in the C_D versus V_R relationship, alongside small series resistance. The device utilizes an SS-Mini type package (SC-79), enabling equipment downsizing and automatic insertion via taping. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse voltage of 6V, a junction temperature rating of 150°C, and a typical diode capacitance of 11.1 pF at 1V reverse bias. The component complies with the RoHS Directive.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for VCO applications with high linearity and large capacitance ratios
• Low series resistance to minimize signal loss
• Compact SS-Mini package facilitates automated surface-mount assembly

Applications

• Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO)
• General electronic equipment
• Communications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify current lifecycle status as the datasheet indicates maintenance or discontinuation stages. Confirm availability through official Panasonic channels or authorized distributors. Ensure compliance with specific export control regulations if applicable. Request the latest Product Standards before final design implementation to guarantee specifications remain unchanged.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring precise tuning capabilities within low-voltage environments. The 6V reverse voltage limit dictates suitable operating ranges. Consider the SC-79 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements against the 150°C junction temperature rating during operation.
