2N2896 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N2896 is a general-purpose NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is designed for through-hole mounting in a TO-206AA / TO-18-3 metal can package (supplier package TO-18).

 

Key electrical ratings include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 90V, a maximum collector current of 1A, and a maximum power dissipation of 1.8W. The transistor offers a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 60 at 150mA collector current and 10V Vce, with a typical transition frequency of 120MHz. The maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage is 600mV at 15mA base current and 150mA collector current.

 

This device is suitable for general switching and amplification applications where moderate voltage and current handling are required. The TO-18 metal can package provides robust mechanical and thermal performance.
