Overview
The Central Semiconductor Corp 2N6502 is a dual NPN transistor housed in the TO-78 metal can package. It contains two independent NPN elements within a single unit, designed for amplifier and switching applications. The device features a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 40 V and a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 15 V. Maximum continuous collector current (IC) is rated at 500 mA. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 40 to 140 when tested at an IC of 10 mA and VCE of 1 V. Collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is specified as a maximum of 0.25 V at an IC of 10 mA. Transition frequency (fT) is guaranteed to be at least 10 MHz.
Feature Summary
- Dual configuration providing two matched NPN transistors in one package
- Metal TO-78 hermetic seal for robust environmental protection
- Capable of high-speed switching with defined saturation characteristics
Applications
- General-purpose amplifier circuits
- High-speed switching logic interfaces
- Complementary pairs utilizing MD6502 PNP counterpart
Procurement Notes
This component has been officially classified as End of Life by Central Semiconductor Corp. No replacement part numbers are currently available from the manufacturer. Procurement requires verification of existing stock or obsolete inventory sources. Engineering support may assist in locating alternate sources if necessary.
Selection Notes
Designers should account for the discontinued status when selecting this component. Verify that the TO-78 footprint matches the target board layout. Consider thermal management requirements associated with the metal case construction. Evaluate alternative discrete or dual packages if long-term supply stability is required.
Part Context
The 2N6502 belongs to a family of dual transistors manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. These devices utilize silicon planar technology encapsulated in the standard TO-78 metal can. The product line includes complementary PNP types such as the MD6502. This specific part number represents a legacy offering now marked as obsolete.
Replacement Considerations
No direct replacement part numbers are listed by the manufacturer. Users must identify functional equivalents from other suppliers based on electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
