2N3498 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3498 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications.

 

Electrical characteristics include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vce) of 100V, maximum collector current (Ic) of 500mA, and power dissipation of 1W. The DC current gain (hFE) is guaranteed at a minimum of 40 under test conditions of Ic=150mA and Vce=10V. The maximum Vce saturation voltage is 600mV at Ib=30mA and Ic=300mA, indicating low on-state loss.

 

The device operates over a junction temperature range of -65°C to 200°C. It is housed in a through-hole TO-205AD / TO-39-3 Metal Can package (supplier device package TO-39), suitable for socket or direct solder mounting on printed circuit boards.
