2N3906 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3906 is a widely used PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by HCM, suitable for general-purpose low-power amplifying or switching applications. It is designed 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, a maximum Continuous Collector Current (IC) of 200mA, and a maximum Base Current (IB) of 5mA. The DC Current Gain (hFE) ranges from 110 to 300. The transistor is designed to operate at collector currents typically between 10mA and 100mA.

 

This transistor is housed in a TO-92 package, a common through-hole package for discrete components. Its PNP structure means the collector and emitter are forward-biased when the base pin is held at ground and reverse-biased when a signal is provided to the base pin.

 

The 2N3906 is a versatile component for various electronic circuits requiring amplification or switching functions at low power levels.
