NTE290A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE290A is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by NTE Electronics. This component is designed for through-hole mounting and comes in a TO-92 package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating of 80V and can handle a continuous collector current of up to 500mA. The transistor has a power dissipation capability of 600mW and a transition frequency of 120MHz. Its operating temperature range extends up to 150°C (TJ).

 

With a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 100 at 50mA and 5V, and a Vce saturation of 600mV at 40mA and 400mA, the NTE290A is suitable for various general-purpose amplification and switching applications. The through-hole mounting style simplifies integration into existing circuit designs.

 

This transistor is noted as being RoHS3 compliant, with an MSL rating of 1, and REACH unaffected. It is an alternative to obsolete NTE transistors NTE289A and NTE290A.
