• Features a hermetic metal TO-39 package with collector-connected case
• Configured as a single PNP bipolar junction transistor

Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Small-signal amplification tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status prior to procurement, as documentation indicates non-compliance. Confirm the specific manufacturing origin and assembly site details via official PCN documents. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package variant. Validate that the active status aligns with long-term supply requirements for the design lifecycle.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hermetic metal package is required for environmental protection or high-reliability switching applications. The TO-39 form factor supports through-hole mounting. Consider the PNP polarity and small-signal classification against circuit requirements. Verify thermal management needs relative to the metal case construction.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader category of discrete semiconductors and specifically within the single BJT segment. It shares the TO-39 metal can packaging style with related models such as the 2N6190, 2N6191, and 2N6193. These variants share similar physical attributes but may differ in electrical specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include 2N6190, 2N6191, and 2N6193. These alternatives share identical packaging and basic structural characteristics.
