2N3906BU Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3906BU is a PNP bipolar junction transistor from On Semiconductor designed for general purpose switching and amplification. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 40V and a collector current rating of 200mA, making it suitable for low-power applications. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 100 at 10mA collector current and 1V collector-emitter voltage, with a saturation voltage of 400mV at 5mA base current and 50mA collector current. The transition frequency is 250MHz, enabling use in moderate frequency circuits.

 

This transistor is housed in a through-hole TO-92-3 package (also known as TO-226-3), which is widely used for prototyping and low-volume production. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to 150°C, suitable for industrial and commercial environments. With a maximum power dissipation of 625mW, it can handle moderate heat loads when properly mounted.

 

Typical applications include driver stages, small signal switching, and general purpose amplification. The 2N3906BU is a standard PNP complement to the NPN 2N3904, often used in complementary push-pull and amplifier circuits. The TO-92 package facilitates easy insertion into breadboards and PCB layouts.
