Small-Signal Bipolar Junction Transistors ensure High Reliability for Critical Applications

28 June 2024  

In the United States the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) manages the global defense supply chain and works with suppliers to ensure high reliability of all the components that go into an end application.Integral to the manufacturing process of components designed for military applications are rigorous tests and compliance standards that must be met to make it on the Quality Products List (QPL), which guarantees a certain level of reliability and streamlines the procurement process. As a leading supplier to the aerospace and defense market, Microchip Technology has announced  its portfolio of JAN resistors is now tested and qualified to Military-Standard Enhanced Low Dose Radiation Sensitivity (ELDRS).

 These military-grade transistors have been manufactured to withstand varying levels of radiation exposure and are part of the Joint Army Navy (JAN) designation system used to specify components procured for military applications. These designations ensure that electronic components used in critical military and aerospace applications can operate reliably in radiation-rich environments.
