2N6076

Overview

The 2N6076 is a PNP small signal transistor manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, now part of onsemi. It features a minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage (BVceo) of 25V and a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 100 at Vce=10V and Ic=10mA. The device supports a maximum collector current of 500 mA and operates with a junction temperature up to 150°C. Key electrical parameters include a collector-base voltage of -25V, emitter-base voltage of -5V, and collector power dissipation of 625 mW.

Feature Summary

• PNP configuration designed for low noise applications
• High DC current gain capability with a minimum hFE of 100
• Low saturation voltage characteristics for efficient switching

Applications

• Low noise amplifier circuits
• General purpose switching applications
• Audio signal processing stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully as the component was originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor before its acquisition by onsemi. Confirm the specific revision status and package type against your design requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your manufacturing process. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes that may affect long-term supply availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a PNP transistor with low noise performance and moderate current handling capabilities. The 25V rating suits low-voltage logic interfaces and audio circuits. Consider the thermal resistance and power dissipation limits when designing heat management solutions. Compare hFE ranges to ensure compatibility with required gain specifications in the target circuit topology.

Part Context

This component belongs to the family of small signal bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). It serves as a fundamental discrete semiconductor device used in analog and digital switching circuits. The PNP polarity makes it suitable for high-side switching or complementary pairs with NPN counterparts in push-pull configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PNP small signal transistors with similar voltage and current ratings such as the BCY58 or equivalent generic PNP types. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when cross-referencing alternative manufacturers.
