2N4016

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 2N4016 is a dual PNP bipolar junction transistor array housed in a TO-78-6 metal can package. It features a maximum collector current of 300 mA and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 60 V. The device provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 135 at 1 mA and 5 V, with a transition frequency of 200 MHz. Total power dissipation is rated at 600 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, with both die sharing equal power allocation.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual PNP configuration within a single hermetically sealed metal can
• High-frequency operation capability up to 200 MHz
• Low saturation voltage for efficient switching applications

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Applications

• General-purpose amplifier circuits
• Saturation switching applications
• Audio signal processing stages

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the End of Life status before procurement. The manufacturer has discontinued all transistors in the TO-78 package. Last purchase orders must be placed within six months of the notice date, with final shipments occurring twelve months after the notice. No replacement part numbers are currently available from the manufacturer.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy TO-78 metal can packaging is required for specific thermal or mechanical constraints. Note that the dual PNP configuration shares a common substrate. Verify that the 600 mW total power dissipation rating accommodates the thermal design for both transistors operating simultaneously under load conditions.

Bipolar Transistor Arrays Part Context

The 2N4016 belongs to the Central Semiconductor Dual Transistors series utilizing the TO-78 case style. This series includes various NPN and PNP configurations designed for amplification and switching. The TO-78 package is a standard metal can format historically used for high-reliability discrete semiconductor devices.
