2N3791 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3791 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications requiring moderate to high current handling.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of 60V, a continuous collector current (Ic) of 10A, and a power dissipation (Pd) of 5W. The device offers a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 30 at Ic=3A and Vce=2V, and a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) of 2.5V at Ib=2A and Ic=10A.

 

The transistor is housed in a TO-3 (TO-204AA) metal can package with through-hole mounting, suitable for socket or direct solder attachment to a heatsink. The junction operating temperature range is -65°C to 200°C, allowing use in demanding thermal environments.
