The Central Semiconductor Corp 2N2916A is a dual NPN low noise transistor housed in a TO-78 metal can package. It contains two matched NPN die within a single unit, designed for applications requiring low noise performance and high gain. The device features a collector-base voltage of 45 V and a collector-emitter voltage of 45 V. It supports a continuous collector current of 30 mA with a total power dissipation of 600 mW at 25°C ambient temperature. The datasheet specifies a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 150 at 150 µA and 1.0 V, and a maximum base-emitter voltage matching tolerance of 1.5 mV.
This component has been officially classified as End of Life by the manufacturer. No replacement part numbers are currently available from Central Semiconductor Corp. Procurement should focus on verifying existing stock availability or identifying alternative sources through engineering support channels, as standard ordering processes are discontinued.
Designers must account for the End of Life status when selecting this component for new products. Verify if the specific 'A' suffix variant meets the required base-emitter voltage matching criteria compared to the standard 2N2916. Ensure the TO-78 package footprint is compatible with the target PCB layout before finalizing the selection.
The 2N2916A belongs to a family of dual NPN low noise transistors manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp in the TO-78 case style. This series includes variants like the 2N2916, 2N2915, and 2N2917, which share similar electrical characteristics but differ in gain and matching specifications. All devices in this specific TO-78 lineup have transitioned to End of Life status.
