2N414 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The RCA 2N414 is a PNP Germanium transistor housed in a TO-5 package. This component is noted for its Germanium element and PNP polarity. The Hfe (Gain) can vary, with some units falling into the 70 to 130 range, often suitable for applications like fuzz face circuits, while others exhibit lower gain (30-50). Germanium transistors are known for their performance variability over time. This part is listed as RoHS3 compliant.

 

Designed for discrete applications, the 2N414's TO-5 package is suitable for through-hole mounting. Its Germanium construction offers specific electrical characteristics that may be desirable in certain audio or vintage electronic circuits. Due to the nature of Germanium devices, performance can be inconsistent, and measurements may vary.
