2N5460_L99Z

Overview

The 2N5460_L99Z is a P-channel Junction Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) manufactured by onsemi. It operates in depletion mode and is housed in a TO-92 package with three leads. The device features a Drain-Gate Voltage rating of -40 V, a Gate-Source Voltage limit of 40 V, and a Forward Gate Current capacity of 10 mA. It supports an operating and storage junction temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed for low-level audio and general-purpose applications
• Suitable for high impedance signal sources
• Interchangeable source and drain terminals

Applications

• Low level audio amplification
• General purpose signal processing
• High impedance input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix _L99Z against official onsemi documentation to confirm it denotes a standard 2N5460 variant without functional deviation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging type directly with the supplier or manufacturer datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring a P-channel JFET with a 40V voltage rating. Ensure the application utilizes high impedance sources to leverage the device's design characteristics. Verify that the TO-92 through-hole package fits the board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N5460/5461/5462 family of P-channel JFETs sourced from Process 89. The 2N5460 specifically targets general-purpose amplifier roles. The L99Z suffix indicates a specific manufacturing or packaging lot code within the onsemi product line.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 2N5461 and 2N5462 from Fairchild or onsemi, as well as MMBF5460 in SOT-23 packages if surface mount is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility as source and drain are interchangeable.
