2N4401

Diotec

2N4401 is an onsemi NPN silicon general-purpose transistor — 40 V collector-emitter voltage, 600 mA continuous collector current, DC current gain of 100 minimum at 150 mA, 250 MHz transition frequency, TO-92 package, 625 mW dissipation, -55 to +150 °C. The complementary pairing is the selection point: the NPN counterpart of the 2N4403 PNP for push-pull, H-bridge and complementary switching stages. Selection advice: for a complementary pair order the 2N4403 (PNP) alongside this 2N4401 (NPN) — they share ratings for symmetric drive. The 625 mW dissipation limits continuous high-current use, so size the load or add a driver for power switching. Evidence: onsemi 2N4401 datasheet and distributor listings confirm NPN, 40 V, 600 mA, hFE 100, 250 MHz and TO-92. Match the full 2N4401 code.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

2N4401 selection guidance

2N4401 is a NPN transistor from Diotec, orderable in the TO-92 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

2N4401 FAQ

What do the suffixes in 2N4401 mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. 2N4401 names the TO-92 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for 2N4401?

The package (TO-92) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for 2N4401?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for 2N4401?

Add 2N4401 to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (Diotec), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
