The 2N3904 is a popular general-purpose NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in a TO-92 package. With a maximum collector current of 200 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V, it's one of the most commonly used small-signal transistors for switching and amplification.

Key Features

  • NPN Bipolar Transistor – General-purpose switching and amplification
  • TO-92 Package – Standard through-hole footprint
  • 200 mA Collector Current – Suitable for small-signal switching
  • 60 V Collector-Emitter Voltage – Handles moderate voltage applications
  • Low Power Dissipation – 625 mW at 25 °C

Specifications

  • Type – NPN BJT
  • Package – TO-92
  • Collector-Emitter Voltage (Vce) – 60 V
  • Collector Current (Ic) – 200 mA
  • Current Gain (hFE) – 70 minimum
  • Power Dissipation – 625 mW at 25 °C

Ideal For

  • Small-signal switching circuits
  • Signal amplification
  • Arduino and microcontroller interfacing
  • Beginner electronics projects and learning

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
Power dissipation
Power dissipation is electrical energy being turned into heat inside a component. It matters because too much heat can reduce efficiency, affect reliability, or require a larger component or better cooling.
through-hole
A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
