2N4104 TIN/LEAD is listed in the Single Bipolar Transistors range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Central Semiconductor Corp. Its product description is 60V 50MA 300MW TH TRANSISTOR-SMA. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The Central Semiconductor Corp 2N4104 TIN/LEAD is a small-signal NPN bipolar junction transistor housed in a TO-18 metal can package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 60V and a continuous collector current rating of 50mA. The device supports a power dissipation of 300mW, making it suitable for low-power switching and amplification tasks. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C. The component utilizes tin or lead plating on its terminals and is designed for through-hole mounting applications.
Verify the specific terminal plating option (tin vs. lead) required for your assembly process, as the suffix indicates material composition. Confirm that the TO-18 metal can package dimensions align with your PCB footprint or socket requirements. Ensure that the 50mA current limit and 300mW power dissipation constraints are sufficient for the intended circuit load to prevent thermal runaway.
Select this component when high reliability and hermetic sealing are prioritized over surface-mount convenience. It is appropriate for military, aerospace, or harsh environment applications where plastic packages may fail. Consider the higher cost and larger size compared to modern SMD alternatives, but value the superior thermal handling and radiation hardness inherent to the metal can construction.
This part belongs to the legacy small-signal transistor family produced by Central Semiconductor. It serves as a rugged alternative to standard plastic-packaged transistors like the 2N3904. The TO-18 form factor distinguishes it from common axial or SMD devices, offering better heat sinking capabilities and physical durability for specialized industrial or defense electronics.
