and switching applications at collector currents of 10 mA
to 100 mA.
2N3906 / MMBT3906 / PZT3906 — PNP General-Purpose Amplifier
Absolute Maximum Ratings(1)
Stresses exceeding the absolute ma ximum ratings may damage the de vice. The device may not function or be opera-
ble above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addi-
tion, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. Values are at TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted.
Note:
1. These ratings are based on a maxi mum junction temperature of 150°C.
These are steady-state limits. ON Semiconductor should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or
low-duty cycle operations.
Thermal Characteristics
Valu es are at TA = 25°C unle s s otherwise noted.
Notes:
2. Device is mounted on FR-4 PCB 1.6 inch X 1.6 inch X 0.06 inch.
3. PCB size: FR-4, 76 mm x 114 mm x 1.57 mm (3.0 inch x 4.5 inch x 0.062 inch) with minimum land pattern size.
