2N720A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N720A is a high-voltage NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is housed in a through-hole TO-18 (TO-206AA) metal can package, suitable for a wide range of amplifier and switching applications. The device offers a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (V(BR)CEO) of 80V minimum and a collector-base breakdown voltage of 120V minimum, with a maximum collector current of 500mA. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 40 to 120 at IC=150mA and VCE=10V, and a collector-emitter saturation voltage as low as 1.2V at IC=50mA. The transistor can dissipate up to 500mW at ambient temperature and 1.8W at case temperature, with a maximum junction temperature of 175°C. Its small signal current gain at 20MHz is a minimum of 2.5. The 2N720A is designed for general-purpose amplification and switching, and its metal can package provides good thermal performance. The device is RoHS3 compliant and has a moisture sensitivity level of 1 (unlimited).
