2N3704 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The maximum operating temperature range for the 2N3704 is -55°C to 150°C, but it's recommended to operate within -40°C to 125°C for optimal performance and reliability.

  • While the 2N3704 can be used as a switch, it's not recommended for high-frequency applications (>100 kHz) due to its relatively high transition frequency (ft) of 300 MHz. For high-frequency switching, consider using a transistor with a higher ft, such as the 2N5551 or 2N5401.

  • To ensure the 2N3704 is fully turned on or off in a digital circuit, make sure to provide a base current (Ib) that is at least 1/10th of the collector current (Ic) and use a base resistor (Rb) that is sufficiently small to minimize the voltage drop across it. A general rule of thumb is to use Rb ≤ (Vcc - Vbe) / (10 * Ic), where Vcc is the supply voltage and Vbe is the base-emitter voltage.

  • The 2N3704 is not ideal for use in a linear amplifier circuit due to its relatively low current gain (hFE) of 100-300 and high collector-emitter saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) of 0.5-1.5V. For linear amplifier applications, consider using a transistor with a higher hFE and lower Vce(sat), such as the 2N3904 or 2N4401.

  • The 2N3704 has a maximum collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of 40V, so it's not suitable for high-voltage applications (>40V). For high-voltage applications, consider using a transistor with a higher Vceo, such as the 2N5551 or 2N5401.
