2N1893 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N1893 is a silicon planar epitaxial NPN transistor in a JEDEC TO-39 metal can package. It is designed for use in high-performance amplifier, oscillator, and switching circuits, providing greater voltage swings and protection in inductive switching circuits due to its 120V collector-to-base voltage rating.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of 80V, collector-base breakdown voltage of 120V, and emitter-base breakdown voltage of 7V. The maximum collector current is 500mA, with a power dissipation of 3W at case temperature ≤25°C. DC current gain ranges from 35 to 80 at 10mA collector current, and the transition frequency is 70MHz.

 

The device is housed in a through-hole TO-5 (TO-205AA) metal can package, suitable for socket or soldered mounting. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is 50°C/W and junction-to-ambient is 187.5°C/W. Operating junction temperature range is -65°C to 200°C.

 

Typical applications include general purpose amplification, oscillator circuits, and switching circuits requiring high voltage capability. The 2N1893 is RoHS3 compliant and has an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited).
