NTE290 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE290 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by NTE Electronics. This component is suitable for amplifier and switching applications, featuring a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 30V and a continuous collector current of up to 800mA.

 

With a power dissipation rating of 600mW, the NTE290 is designed for general-purpose use. It operates at a transition frequency of 140MHz, indicating its suitability for moderate-frequency signal processing. The transistor exhibits a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 120 at 50mA collector current and 2V collector-emitter voltage. Its saturation voltage (Vce) is a maximum of 800mV at 500mA collector current and 20mA base current.

 

The NTE290 is housed in a standard TO-92 package, a common through-hole form factor that facilitates easy mounting on printed circuit boards. The operating temperature range extends up to 150°C (TJ), ensuring reliability in various environmental conditions. This transistor is a complementary type, often paired with NPN transistors for push-pull amplifier configurations.
