2N6028 TIN/LEAD

Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 2N6028 TIN/LEAD is a silicon programmable unijunction transistor (PUJT) designed for through-hole mounting in the TO-92-3 package. It features a maximum collector voltage of 40V and a peak current rating of 150mA. The device dissipates up to 300mW of power and operates within a temperature range of -50°C to +100°C. Key electrical characteristics include a valley current of 25µA, an output voltage of 6V, and a compensation voltage of 600mV.

Feature Summary

• Features a programmable unijunction structure allowing for adjustable intrinsic standoff ratios.

Applications

• Timing circuits
• Oscillator designs
• Triggering applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the TIN/LEAD plating suffix, as this differs from standard lead-free specifications. Confirm the required packaging format, such as bulk or reel quantities, directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before finalizing the purchase order to ensure compliance with project requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole programmable unijunction transistor is required for low-power timing or oscillator applications. Ensure the design accommodates the 300mW power dissipation limit and the specified operating temperature range. Verify that the TO-92-3 package dimensions fit the intended PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N6027 series of programmable unijunction transistors manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. These devices are silicon-based bipolar transistors specifically engineered for applications requiring precise timing control and triggering capabilities in electronic circuits.

Replacement Considerations

The 2N6028 APM PBFREE serves as a parameter-equivalent alternative offering identical electrical specifications but utilizes lead-free plating instead of tin/lead.
