The 2N5818 PBFREE is an NPN general-purpose small-signal bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It is designed for through-hole mounting in a TO-92-3 package. The device features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 40V and a continuous collector current rating of 750mA. Thermal performance is defined by a maximum power dissipation of 625mW at 25°C ambient temperature. The component supports a transition frequency of 135MHz, suitable for standard switching and amplification applications.
Verify the specific manufacturer designation when sourcing, as multiple vendors produce this part number. Confirm that the procurement includes the PBFREE suffix to ensure compliance with lead-free manufacturing requirements. Cross-reference datasheets from authorized distributors to validate electrical parameters against the original Microchip or Central Semiconductor specifications before integration into production.
Select this component for applications requiring moderate current handling within a compact through-hole form factor. The 40V breakdown voltage limits suitability for high-voltage environments. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 625mW dissipation limit. Ensure circuit design accounts for the 135MHz frequency response to maintain signal integrity in higher-speed switching scenarios.
This transistor belongs to the broader category of NPN silicon small-signal devices used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems. It serves as a fundamental active element for biasing and signal conditioning. The TO-92-3 package provides mechanical stability for manual assembly processes while maintaining cost efficiency for high-volume manufacturing runs.
