2N5401 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N5401 is a PNP general purpose bipolar junction transistor designed for signal processing, switching, and amplification applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 150V and a continuous collector current rating of 600mA, with a peak current capability of 1A. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) range of 60 to 240 at 10mA, 5V, ensuring consistent performance across moderate current levels.

 

With a maximum power dissipation of 625mW and a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, the 2N5401 is suitable for commercial and industrial grade environments. The transistor is housed in a TO-92 (TO-226) through-hole package, weighing approximately 0.18g, and is compatible with standard soldering conditions of 260°C for 10 seconds.

 

The 2N5401 is RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and compliant with conflict minerals regulations. It is commonly used as a complementary transistor to the 2N5551 NPN type.
