Central Semiconductor Corp. Single Bipolar Transistors 2N3497 PBFREE

The 2N3497 is a PNP silicon transistor for amplification and switching, housed in a TO-18 metal case. It has a collector-base voltage rating of 120 V, a collector-emitter voltage rating of 120 V, and a base-emitter voltage rating of 4.0 V. It supports a continuous collector current of 100 mA, with a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 40 to 500 at a collector current of 10 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 10 V. The saturation voltage is 0.35 V at a collector current of 10 mA and a base current of 1.0 mA. It features a collector capacitance of 10 pF, a transition frequency of 150 MHz, and a noise figure of 6.0 dB. The turn-on and turn-off times are not specified. The part is available with lead-free plating as indicated by the PBFREE suffix.
