2N3904RL1G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The recommended PCB footprint for the 2N3904RL1G is a standard SOT-23 package with a 1.3mm x 0.8mm body size and 0.5mm lead pitch. A minimum pad size of 0.6mm x 0.6mm is recommended for reliable soldering.

  • While the 2N3904RL1G can be used as a switch, its transition frequency (fT) is around 300 MHz, which may not be suitable for very high-frequency circuits. However, it can be used in circuits up to 100 MHz with proper design and layout considerations.

  • To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, make sure to follow the recommended operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, and consider derating the device's power dissipation accordingly. Also, ensure good thermal design and heat sinking to prevent overheating.

  • Yes, the 2N3904RL1G can be used in linear amplifier circuits, but its relatively low current gain (hFE) of 100-300 may not provide sufficient amplification. Consider using a Darlington pair or a different transistor with higher current gain for better performance.

  • To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle the 2N3904RL1G with ESD-safe materials, wear an ESD strap, and ensure that your workspace is ESD-protected. Also, consider adding ESD protection circuits or devices in your design to prevent damage from external ESD events.
