2N4236

The 2N4236 transistor is a silicon NPN power transistor that is designed for general-purpose power amplifier and switching applications. It has a low current gain, with a typical gain of about 30, making it suitable for linear applications where the circuit does not have to switch quickly. The forward voltage drop is typically about 0.7V, and the maximum collector-emitter voltage is typically 45V. The working principle of the 2N4236 transistor is simple: when the base voltage is applied to the Base-Collector junction, it increases the voltage drop across the Collector-Emitter junction, allowing more current to flow. This increase in current is what amplifies the signal. Overall, the 2N4236 transistor is a great choice for applications requiring a low current gain and high level of conduction.

• Low Power Loss: Low collector-emitter saturation voltage reduces power loss and increases efficiency.
• High Gain: High current gain allows for amplification of weak signals.
• Reliable Operation: Excellent safe operating area and 100% avalanche testing ensure reliable operation.
• Flexibility: Can be used in a variety of applications, including power amplifiers, switching circuits, and interfaces.
• Easy Design: Complementary to 2N4237 (PNP) makes it easy to design push-pull amplifiers and other circuits.
