The 2N3906 is a common low-power PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) housed in a plastic TO-92 package. It handles up to 200 mA of collector current and 40V collector-emitter voltage, making it ideal for general-purpose signal amplification and low-power switching.
Because this is a PNP device, operational voltages and currents are negative relative to the emitter:
- Collector-Emitter Voltage: -40 V maximum.
- Collector Current: -200 mA continuous maximum.
- Total Power Dissipation: 625 mW maximum.
- DC Current Gain: 100 to 300 when \(I_C = -10\text{ mA}\).
- Transition Frequency: 250 MHz minimum.
- Operating Temperature: -55 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications:
- Type: PNP
- Max Collector-Emitter Voltage (\(V_{CEO}\)): 40V
- Max Collector Current (\(I_{C}\)): 200 mA
- Max Power Dissipation (\(P_{D}\)): 250 mW - 300 mW
- DC Current Gain (\(h_{FE}\)): 100 to 300 minimum
- Transition Frequency (\(F_{t}\)): 250 MHz
Common Uses:
- Low-power switching
- Audio and signal amplification
- Complementary partner to the NPN 2N3904
