2N918 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N918 is an NPN low power silicon transistor manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/301, ensuring reliability for military and aerospace applications. The device features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 15V, collector-base voltage of 30V, and emitter-base voltage of 3V. Maximum collector current is 50mA, with a total power dissipation of 200mW at 25°C ambient temperature, derating linearly above 25°C.

 

Electrical characteristics include a minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 15V at 3mA, and DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 10 to 200 depending on test conditions. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is 400mV maximum at 10mA collector current and 1mA base current. Dynamic characteristics include a magnitude of small-signal short-circuit forward current transfer ratio (|hfe|) of 6.0 to 18 at 100MHz, output capacitance as low as 1.7pF, and a noise figure of 6.0dB maximum at 60MHz.

 

The transistor is housed in a TO-206AF (TO-72-4) metal can package with through-hole mounting. It is suitable for low-power RF amplification and oscillator circuits up to VHF/UHF frequencies. The operating temperature range is -65°C to 200°C.
