Microsemi's radiation hardened medium power transistors gets DSCC qualified

Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) qualification has been granted for a radiation hardened medium power transistors JANSR2N3439 and JANSR2N3440 made by Microsemi. DSCC is a US Defense body granting product qualifications for component suppliers for defense use.

With these latest approvals Microsemi has now qualified an additional 54 radiation hardened transistor products over the last year. This includes 44 new packaged device types and 10 newly-qualified radiation hardened die types for hybrid packaging applications.

These general purpose, small signal and medium power bipolar transistors are specifically designed to perform in the severe environmental and radiation conditions that exist in space where component selection is essential to mission success, and suitable for aerospace, defense and satellite communication applications.

Key features include,

NPN & PNP
Low and medium power
Standard hermetic package outlines in both through-hole and surface mount configurations
Radiation Hardened for Total Ionizing Dose performance of 100,000 (R) and 300,00 (F) RAD (Si)
Space level quality
