2N5249 APM PBFREE

Overview

The 2N5249 APM PBFREE is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It features a collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of -40 V and a collector-base voltage (Vcbo) of -40 V. The device supports a continuous collector current (Ic) of 600 mA with a power dissipation (Pd) of 625 mW. It utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• PNP polarity configuration for complementary circuit applications
• Through-hole mounting via TO-92-3 leaded package
• Lead-free soldering profile compliance

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Complementary amplifier stages
• Signal processing interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'APM' against official datasheets to confirm Ammo Pack packaging requirements. Ensure the 'PBFREE' designation aligns with RoHS compliance standards required for the target assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate current production status and availability constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a PNP transistor with 40 V breakdown and 600 mA current handling in a standard TO-92 form factor. Confirm that the thermal management strategy accommodates the 625 mW power dissipation limit. Verify compatibility with the intended PCB footprint and lead spacing specifications for the TO-92-3 package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the general-purpose small-signal BJT category from Central Semiconductor. It serves as a PNP counterpart to NPN variants like the 2N4401, facilitating push-pull or differential pair configurations in low-power analog and digital logic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent PNP transistors with matching Vceo, Ic, and package dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility before replacing to ensure correct circuit integration without hardware modification.
