2N3807

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 2N3807 is a PNP low noise transistor housed in the TO-78 metal can package. It operates with a collector current of 50 mA, a collector-base voltage of 60 V, and a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V. The device provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 300 at a collector current of 150 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 10 V. Saturation characteristics include a maximum VCE(sat) of 1.0 V at 50 mA and a maximum VBE(sat) of 0.2 V at 100 mA. The transition frequency (fT) is specified at 100 MHz.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Procurement Notes

This component has been officially classified as End of Life by Central Semiconductor Corp. No replacement part numbers are available from the manufacturer. Procurement must be limited to existing inventory or secondary market sources. Verify authenticity and physical condition carefully when sourcing from non-direct suppliers due to the discontinued status.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component only if the specific TO-78 form factor and legacy pinout are required for the design. Evaluate alternative modern surface-mount transistors that meet the electrical requirements for 60 V operation and 100 MHz transition frequency. Ensure the replacement package is compatible with the existing PCB layout constraints.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Part Context

The 2N3807 belongs to a series of PNP low noise transistors manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. These devices share similar electrical specifications and packaging styles within the product line. The TO-78 package is a traditional metal can style often used in military and high-reliability applications requiring hermetic sealing.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Replacement Considerations

Central Semiconductor Corp lists no direct replacement part number for the 2N3807. Engineers must identify equivalent components from other manufacturers based on matching electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
