2N2919

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Overview

The Microchip Technology 2N2919 is a dual NPN bipolar junction transistor array housed in a TO-78-6 metal can package. It supports a maximum collector current of 30mA and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 60V. The device features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 150 at 1mA and 5V, with a maximum collector cutoff current of 10µA. Power dissipation is rated at 350mW, and the junction temperature range extends up to 200°C. The saturation voltage is specified at 300mV under standard test conditions.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual NPN configuration within a single hermetic metal can package
• High DC current gain for signal amplification applications
• Military-grade reliability with extended thermal performance

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Applications

• Precision analog circuit design requiring matched transistor pairs
• Low-power switching applications in aerospace systems
• Instrumentation amplifier input stages

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as the standard 2N2919 is non-compliant while military variants may differ. Confirm MIL-PRF-19500 qualification requirements for your specific application. Check datasheet revisions for parameter updates. Ensure ordering suffixes match required packaging or screening levels. Validate supplier authorization for critical components.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a matched dual NPN pair is required in a TO-78 package. Compare hFE minimums against circuit gain requirements. Verify power dissipation limits relative to thermal management capabilities. Consider the 60V breakdown voltage for supply headroom. Evaluate the 30mA current limit for load driving needs.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N291/2N292 series of dual NPN transistors manufactured by Microchip Technology. It shares the same basic electrical architecture as the 2N2920 but differs in current gain specifications. The TO-78-6 metal can provides environmental protection suitable for harsh operating conditions.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Replacement Considerations

The MAT01AH from Analog Devices Inc. is listed as a substitute option. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution. Ensure the replacement meets the same qualification standards if used in regulated environments.
