2N5401 Transistor 150V 600mA PNP TRANSISTOR CDIL 2N5401

Product Overview

The 2N5401 is a high-voltage, small-signal PNP transistor designed for applications requiring high-voltage tolerance and low-to-medium current switching. Due to its ability to handle up to 150V, it is frequently used in high-voltage differential amplifiers, telephone line interface circuits, and as a driver transistor for high-voltage output stages. It is the PNP complement to the widely known 2N5551 (NPN) transistor, making them an excellent pair for complementary circuit designs.
