2N3906 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3906 is a widely used PNP bipolar junction transistor designed for general-purpose low-power amplifying or switching applications. It is engineered for low current and power with medium voltage capabilities, and can operate at moderately high speeds.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum Collector Emitter Voltage (VCE) of 40V and a maximum Continuous Collector Current (IC) of 200mA. The DC Current Gain (hFE) typically ranges from 110 to 300. The Base Current (IB) is limited to a maximum of 5mA, and the Emitter Base Voltage (VBE) is 5V.

 

This transistor is housed in a TO-92 package, making it suitable for through-hole mounting. Its design makes it versatile for various electronic circuits requiring amplification or switching functions at moderate speeds and power levels.

 

The 2N3906 operates in saturation and cut-off regions, with typical voltages specified for these states. It is designed for applications at collector currents between 10 mA and 100 mA.
