2N3906TA

onsemi · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92-3

2N3906TA from onsemi, in a TO-92-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 E passive Emitter of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits emitter-base voltage to VEBO -5.0 V (absolute maximum).
2 B passive Base of the PNP transistor; base-emitter reverse breakdown is specified at -5.0 V minimum (V(BR)EBO, IE = -10 µA), and the base-emitter voltage limit is VEBO -5.0 V.
3 C passive Collector of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits collector-emitter voltage to VCEO -40 V and continuous collector current to IC -200 mA (absolute maximum).
