2N4900 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N4900 from Signetics is a PNP silicon medium power transistor. It is housed in a TO-66 package and is suitable for various power applications.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 80V for the 2N4900 variant, a maximum collector current (IC) of 4.0 Adc, and a maximum base current (IB) of 1.0 Adc. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 10 to 40 depending on the collector current. Saturation voltages are also specified, with VCE(sat) at a maximum of 0.6 Vdc and VBE(sat) at a maximum of 1.3 Vdc when operating at 1.0 Adc collector current and 0.1 Adc base current.

 

Thermal specifications include a total device dissipation (PD) of 25 Watts at 25°C case temperature, with a derating of 0.143 W/°C above that temperature. The operating and storage junction temperature range is -65°C to +200°C. The thermal resistance from junction to case (ӨJC) is 7.0 °C/W.

 

This transistor is available in a TO-66 case with through-hole mounting. It is designed for applications requiring medium power handling capabilities.
