and JANS
Available on
commercial
versions
NPN SILICON TRANSISTOR
Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/366
DESCRIPTION
This family of 2N3498L thru 2N3501L epitaxial planar transistors are military qualified up to a
JANS level for high-reliability applications. These devices are also available in TO-39 and low
profile U4 packaging. Microsemi also offers numerous other transistor products to meet
higher and lower power ratings with various switching speed requirements in both through-
hole and surface-mount packages.
