2N5401

LangJie · Bipolar (BJT) · SOT-23

2N5401 from LangJie, in a SOT-23. 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 B input Base terminal of the PNP transistor, with emitter-base voltage limited to VEBO -5 V and base-emitter saturation voltage VBE(sat) of -1 V maximum at IC=-50mA, IB=-5mA.
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor, with emitter-base breakdown voltage V(BR)EBO of -5 V minimum at IE=-10µA.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor, rated for collector-base voltage VCBO -160 V, collector-emitter voltage VCEO -150 V, collector current Ic 0.6 A and collector power dissipation PD 0.3 W.
