Central Semiconductor Corp. Single Bipolar Transistors 2N696 TIN/LEAD

The 2N696 is a silicon NPN transistor in a hermetically sealed TO-39 metal package, designed for general-purpose amplifier and switching applications. The case measures 8.51 to 9.40 mm in diameter and 12.70 mm in height. It has a collector-base voltage rating of 60 V, collector-emitter voltage of 40 V, and power dissipation of 0.6 W at 25°C. Electrical characteristics include a current gain (hFE) of 20 to 60 at 150 mA collector current, saturation voltage of 1.5 V at 150 mA collector and 15 mA base current, and transition frequency of 40 MHz. The device operates from -65°C to +200°C with thermal resistance of 292 °C/W from junction to ambient. The TIN/LEAD suffix indicates a tin/lead plating option, which is an available variant of this series.
