Product Overview
The 2N5401 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor designed for high-voltage small-signal amplification, switching, and interface applications. It features a 150V collector-emitter voltage rating, 600mA maximum collector current, and a minimum DC current gain of 60 at 10mA collector current. Its relatively high voltage capability makes it suitable for analog and control circuits operating above the range of typical low-voltage PNP transistors.
Packaged in a TO-92 through-hole package, the 2N5401 is suitable for high-voltage signal amplification, level shifting, complementary transistor stages, and low-current switching. Its 400MHz transition frequency also supports signal-processing and amplifier circuits that require both voltage headroom and moderate high-frequency performance.
