2N3442 Overview

In this device, the DC current gain is 20 @ 3A 4V, which is calculated by taking the ratio of the base current to collector current and dividing transistor by two.Single BJT transistor offers maximum design flexibilSingle BJT transistory wSingle BJT transistorh a collector emSingle BJT transistorter saturation voltage of 5V.Saturation of VCE means Ic is at its maximum value (saturated), and VCE saturation (Max) is 5V @ 2A, 10A.An emitter's base voltage can be kept at 7V to gain high efficiency.Current rating refers to the maximum current a fuse can carry for an indefinite period without deteriorating substantially, and this device has a 10A current rating.Product comes in the supplier's device package TO-204 (TO-3).A 140V maximal voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown is present in the device.Collector current can be as low as 10A volts at its maximum.
