2N4900 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The RCA 2N4900 is a PNP silicon medium power transistor designed for high-reliability applications. It features a TO-66 package and is suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum Collector-Emitter Voltage (VCEO) of 80V for the 2N4900 variant, a continuous Collector Current (IC) of up to 4.0A, and a Base Current (IB) of 1.0A. The device offers a DC Current Gain (hFE) ranging from 10 to 40 depending on the operating current. Saturation voltages are also specified, with VCE(sat) at a maximum of 0.6V and VBE(sat) at a maximum of 1.3V when operating at 1.0A collector current and 0.1A base current.

 

Thermal performance is supported by a junction-to-case thermal resistance (ӨJC) of 7.0 °C/W and a maximum power dissipation (PD) of 25 Watts at 25°C. The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65°C to +200°C.

 

This transistor is available in standard and RoHS compliant versions. Its robust specifications make it suitable for various medium power switching and amplification tasks in electronic circuits.
