2N2905 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N2905 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by On Semiconductor. It is designed for high-speed switching applications with low leakage currents and low saturation voltage. Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of -40V, continuous collector current of 600mA, and power dissipation of 600mW. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 50 to 240 at 10mA collector current, and the transition frequency is between 100 and 300 MHz, making it suitable for switching circuits up to moderate frequencies. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is typically 1.6V maximum at 500mA collector current. The transistor is housed in a TO-39 (TO-205AD) metal can package with through-hole mounting. The operating junction temperature range is -55 to +125°C, and the storage temperature range is -55 to +150°C. This device is commonly used in general-purpose switching and amplification applications where PNP polarity is required.
