2N3501 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3501 is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor designed for general purpose medium power applications requiring high frequency switching. It is part of the JEDEC registered 2N3498-2N3501 series and is available in a TO-205AD (TO-39) metal can package with through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 150V, collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 150V, and emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 6V. The continuous collector current (Ic) is 300mA and total power dissipation is 1W at 25°C case temperature. DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 100 at 150mA collector current and 10V VCE. The transition frequency (fT) is 150 MHz.

 

The device operates over a junction temperature range of -65°C to 200°C, with thermal resistance junction-to-case of 30°C/W and junction-to-ambient of 175°C/W. Termination is available in solder dip (Sn63/Pb37) or pure matte tin (RoHS) options, though RoHS compliance is limited to commercial grade variants and has not been independently verified.
