MMBT3906

Diodes Incorporated · Bipolar Transistor (BJT) · SOT-23

The MMBT3906 is the SOT-23 surface-mount version of the 2N3906 general-purpose PNP transistor. It handles up to 40 V and 200 mA, and is used for low-power high-side switching and small-signal amplification. It is the PNP complement of the NPN MMBT3904.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 B input Base terminal of the PNP BJT. Controls collector current via base-emitter forward bias (VBE(sat) typ -0.85V at IC = -10mA). Absolute max VEBO = -6.0V; peak base current IBM = -100mA.
2 E passive Emitter terminal of the PNP BJT. Common reference for base drive; typically connected to the positive supply in a high-side switch or common-emitter amplifier.
3 C passive Collector terminal of the PNP BJT. Rated VCBO = -40V, VCEO = -40V, IC = -200mA continuous / -350mA peak. VCE(sat) typ -0.25V at IC = -10mA, IB = -1.0mA.
