JAN / JANTX / JANTXV / JANS Discretes — Screened Semiconductors, Sourced Worldwide.

The prefix is the product. A 2N2222A and a JANTXV2N2222A share a die and nothing else: the JANTXV part has been through 100% burn-in, precap visual and a lot-acceptance test the commercial part never saw. RH stocks and sources all four screening levels, including the obsolete ones nobody is qualifying any more.

The four screening levels

The suffix after the base number matters as much as the prefix: -1 (e.g. 1N4148-1) is the glass-body military version; UB, UBC and US are the surface-mount and hermetic-chip variants. Browse the families: 2N2222, 2N2907, 2N3904, 2N3906, 2N2219, 1N4148, 1N5819, 1N4007, 1N5811, 2N6660.

Why these go obsolete

Military discretes are built by a handful of fabs — Microsemi (Microchip), Semtech, Solitron, Sensitron, Central Semiconductor, Semicoa — and a screening level is discontinued whenever the volume no longer pays for the qualification. The die may still be in production while the JANTXV screening is not. That is when a drawing that calls the screened part needs an independent distributor with stock, traceability and the discipline to say which date codes it actually has.

What you get with the part

Manufacturer certificate of conformance when provided by the manufacturer and required by the customer, lot and date code on the packing list, and our own inspection record — every shipment is inspected on receipt under our ISO 9001:2015 system, and our ESD program is built to ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021. Ask for a specific date code range or a single-lot buy on the requirement and we quote to it.

Common Questions

Can a JANTX part be substituted for a JANTXV callout?
No — JANTXV adds the precap visual inspection that JANTX does not have, so it is a lower screening level and does not meet the drawing. The reverse (JANTXV or JANS supplied against a JANTX callout) is generally acceptable as an upgrade; confirm with your quality authority.
Do you source discontinued JAN screenings?
Yes. Obsolete screened discretes are among the most common requirements we handle. We quote from our own stock and our vetted network with the date code stated, never from unverified brokers.
Is the -1 suffix important?
Yes. 1N4148 and 1N4148-1 are different parts: the -1 is the double-plug glass military construction qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/116. Order exactly what the drawing calls.
