2N2857 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N2857 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor designed for RF applications. Manufactured by Microsemi Corporation, it offers a maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 15V and a maximum collector current of 40mA. With a transition frequency of 500MHz, it is suitable for high-frequency amplification and switching circuits.

 

The transistor provides a DC current gain (hFE) of 30 minimum at 3mA collector current and 1V VCE. Typical noise figure is 4.5dB at 450MHz, and gain ranges from 12.5dB to 21dB at the same frequency. Maximum power dissipation is 200mW.

 

The device is housed in a TO-206AF / TO-72-4 metal can package with through-hole mounting. It operates over a junction temperature range of -65°C to 200°C. The TO-72 package offers good thermal performance and RF shielding.
