2N3415 2N3415 B TO-92 CE NPN General Purpose Amplifier This device is designed for use as general purpose amplifiers and switches requiring collector currents to 300 mA. Sourced from Process 10. See PN100A for characteristics. Absolute Maximum Ratings* Symbol TA = 25C unless otherwise noted Parameter Value Units V VCEO Collector-Emitter Voltage 25 VCBO Collector-Base Voltage 25 V VEBO Emitter-Base Voltage 5.0 V IC Collector Current - Continuous 500 mA TJ, Tstg Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range -55 to +150 C *These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired. NOTES: 1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees C. 2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
