Hometaxial-Base, Silicon N-P-N VERSAWATT Transistors
General-Purpose Types for Medium-Power Switching and Amplifier Applications in Military, Industrial, and Commercial Equipment
FEATURES • Low saturation voltage-
VeE(sat) = 1 V max. at Ie = 2 A (2N5490, 2N5491) = 1 V max. at Ie = 2.5 A (2N5492, 2N5493) = 1 V max. at Ie = 3 A (2N5494, 2N5495)
= 1 V max. at Ie = 3.5 A (2N5496, 2N5497)
• VERSAWATT package (molded silicone plastic) o Maximum safe-area-of..operation curves specified for DC and pul se operation
RCA-2N5490, 2N5491, 2N5492, 2N5493, 2N5494, 2N5495, 2N5496 and 2N5497* are hometaxial-base silicon n-p-n transistors. They are intended for a wide variety of medium-po.
