Description

2N5551 NPN Amplifier Transistor Pin Configuration: Pin Number Pin Name Description 1 Emitter Current Drains out through emitter, normally connected to ground 2 Base Controls the biasing of transistor, Used to turn ON or OFF the transistor 3 Collector Current flows in through collector, normally connected to load Features: Amplifier NPN Transistor High DC Current Gain (hFE), typically 80 when IC=10mA Continuous Collector current (IC) is 600mA Collector-Emitter voltage (VCE) is 160 V Collector-Base voltage (VCB) is 180V Emitter Base Voltage (VBE) is 6V Transition Frequency is 100MHz Available in To-92 Package Note: Complete Technical Details can be found at the?2N5551?datasheet?given at the end of this page. Alternative NPN Transistors: BC549, BC636, BC639,?BC547, 2N2369, 2N3055,?2N3904,?2N3906, 2SC5200 2N5551 Equivalent Transistors: NTE194, 2N5833, 2N5088, 2N3055, 2N5401 (PNP) Same Family Transistors: 2N5550 Where to use 2N5551: The?2N5551?is an?NPN amplifier Transistor?with an amplification factor (hfe) of 80 when the collector current is 10mA. It also has decent switching characteristics (Transition frequency is 100MHz) hence can amplify low-level signals. Due to this feature, the transistor is commonly used for amplification of audio or other low power signals. So if you are looking for an NPN transistor for you amplifier circuit then this transistor might be the right choice. How to use 2N5551: As told earlier the 2N5551 NPN transistor is widely used for amplification. A v
