2N3789 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3789 is a PNP silicon power transistor manufactured by ST. It is designed for high-reliability applications and is available screened per MIL-PRF-19500, JANTX level.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 60V and a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60V. The continuous collector current (IC) is rated at 10A, with a continuous base current (IB) of 4A. Power dissipation (PD) is 150W at 25°C, derating at 0.857W/°C. The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65°C to +200°C.

 

This transistor features a thermal resistance (junction to case) of 1.17°C/W. Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 25-50 at IC=1A, VCE=2V, and 15-30 at IC=3A, VCE=2V. The collector emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is a maximum of 1.0V. The current gain bandwidth product (fT) is 4.0 MHz at IC=1A, VCE=10V.

 

The 2N3789 is housed in a TO-3 case, suitable for through-hole mounting. It is available in non-RoHS (Sn/Pb plating) and RoHS compliant versions (by adding "-PBF" suffix).
