Single Bipolar Transistors datasheet and documents for 2N3506

2N3506

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Microchip Technology 2N3506 is a single NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a TO-39 metal can package with three leads. The device supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 150 V and a collector-base voltage of 150 V, with an emitter-base voltage rating of 6 V. It handles a continuous DC collector current of 300 mA and dissipates up to 1 W of power at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.
