2N5400 TRE PBFREE

Overview

The 2N5400 TRE PBFREE is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It is designed for through-hole mounting in the TO-92-3 package. The device features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 30 V and a continuous collector current rating of 600 mA. It supports a maximum power dissipation of 625 mW and offers a transition frequency of 150 MHz. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• PNP polarity configuration suitable for complementary switching applications
• Through-hole construction utilizing the standard TO-92-3 leaded package
• High-voltage capability with a 30 V collector-emitter breakdown rating
• Low-noise performance characteristics optimized for small-signal amplification

Applications

• General-purpose low-noise amplifier circuits
• Complementary switching pairs in digital logic interfaces
• Small-signal processing stages requiring high input impedance
• Audio pre-amplification stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision for the 2N5400 TRE PBFREE before integration, as electrical parameters such as DC current gain (hFE) ranges may vary between manufacturing lots. Confirm that the TO-92-3 package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the 625 mW power dissipation limit under worst-case operating conditions to maintain reliability within the specified temperature range.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP counterpart is required to match an NPN transistor like the 2N5401 in push-pull configurations. The 30 V rating makes it suitable for low-voltage signal processing rather than high-power switching. Consider the 150 MHz transition frequency for bandwidth requirements. Verify availability of the lead-free variant if environmental compliance is mandatory for the final assembly process.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 2N5400/2N5401 family of small-signal transistors widely used in electronic design. Central Semiconductor produces this component as a lead-free version compliant with RoHS directives. The device serves as a fundamental building block for analog circuit design, providing reliable performance in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where discrete PNP amplification is necessary.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: 2N5401 (Note: Polarity mismatch; 2N5401 is NPN), MPSA13 (PNP, similar function but different pinout/package). No direct public confirmed equivalent with identical pinout and specs found in source data.
