J175-D26Z Discrete Semiconductor Products

The J175-D26Z is a Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) suitable for high input impedance and fast switching applications. It is a P-channel JFET with a gate-to-source voltage (VGS) of 0V to -20V. It has a drain-to-source breakdown voltage (VDS) of 25V, and a current rating of 5mA.

P-channel JFETs like the J175-D26Z are often used in digital circuits, as they can be quickly switched between the on and off states. They are also used for voltage control and amplification applications; for example in guitar amplifiers, where an increase or decrease in input voltage will result in a corresponding change in the output.

JFETs operate on the principle of an applied voltage controlling the amount of current flowing through a semiconductor junction. When the gate voltage is at or below the pinch-off voltage (VP ) which is defined by the device\'s characteristics, no current can flow from the drain to the source. The amount of current that can flow is determined by the magnitude of the gate voltage. The higher the gate voltage, the more current can flow through the device.

When using the J175-D26Z, the supply voltage should be limited to 0V to -20V, and the drain current should not exceed 5mA. The drain-source capacitance increases with lower drain voltage, and should be kept to a minimum to minimize switching time. The device should be carefully chosen to ensure that it can handle the frequency and amplitude of the source signal.

In summary, the J175-D26Z is a P-channel JFET with a gate-to-source voltage of 0V to -20V and a drain-to-source breakdown voltage of 25V. Its current rating is 5mA. It is suitable for high input impedance and fast switching applications, and is often used in digital circuits, for voltage control and amplification applications.
