2N6727

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi 2N6727 is a PNP silicon planar transistor designed for general-purpose switching applications. It features a collector current rating of 1A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 40V. The device is housed in a TO-237 (TO-92) compatible plastic package with three leads. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 50 at IC = 1 Amp and a maximum power dissipation of 1 Watt. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, ensuring reliability in standard electronic circuits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking and date code against onsemi specifications to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the package type matches the required TO-237 form factor for your PCB layout. Check for any specific handling requirements regarding electrostatic discharge during assembly. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your application's environmental constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with 1A continuous collector current and 40V voltage rating is required. Consider the TO-237 package size for through-hole mounting compatibility. Evaluate the thermal resistance if the device will operate near its 1W power dissipation limit. Compare the hFE gain requirements against your circuit design to ensure sufficient drive capability.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The 2N6727 belongs to the family of small-signal bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). It serves as a common replacement for legacy NPN counterparts in complementary pairs or standalone PNP configurations. The part is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where moderate power switching is needed. Its standardized numbering ensures cross-reference availability across multiple manufacturers.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 2N6727 equivalents such as those from Diodes Incorporated or NTE Electronics. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters like V(BR)CEO and ICM before substitution. Ensure the replacement part supports the same TO-237 package style for mechanical fit.
