2N3417 APP PBFREE

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 2N3417 APP PBFREE is an N-channel Junction Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) designed for general-purpose amplification. It utilizes a through-hole axial leaded package configuration suitable for standard PCB mounting. The device operates as a voltage-controlled resistor or amplifier, leveraging its high input impedance characteristics. Key electrical parameters include a drain-source breakdown voltage of 25V and a gate-source breakdown voltage of 25V. The zero-gate-voltage drain current ranges from 0.5mA to 3.0mA, with a maximum power dissipation of 310mW at 25°C ambient temperature.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer lot code and date code upon receipt to ensure component authenticity. Confirm that the axial leaded package dimensions match the target printed circuit board footprint requirements. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure storage conditions prevent electrostatic discharge damage prior to installation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a discrete N-channel JFET is required for low-noise amplification or high-impedance buffering. Compare the zero-gate-voltage drain current range against the specific biasing requirements of the target circuit. Evaluate the thermal management needs based on the 310mW power dissipation limit. Consider the axial lead form factor for compatibility with existing through-hole manufacturing processes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the family of silicon junction field-effect transistors manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. These devices are distinct from MOSFETs due to their normally-on operation and depletion mode characteristics. The 2N3417 designation follows standard JEDEC numbering conventions for N-channel JFETs, indicating its role in discrete semiconductor applications requiring high input impedance.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 2N3417 equivalents such as those from InterFET or Micross Components. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before substitution. Ensure the replacement device supports the same axial leaded package style if mechanical constraints are strict.
