The 2SA721 is a PNP silicon epitaxial planar transistor (BJT) in a TO-92 package. Designed for low-level and general-purpose amplification thanks to its very high current gain (hFE ≥ 800).

 

2SA721 PNP Transistor - High-Gain Small Signal Amplifier

The 2SA721 is a Japanese-origin PNP silicon epitaxial planar transistor in the compact TO-92 package, built specifically for low-level signal amplification stages. Its standout feature is an exceptionally high minimum hFE of 800, which makes it well suited for driving weak signals from sensors or microphone-level audio stages where extra gain is needed from a single device.

Functions & Applications

  • Very High Current Gain (hFE ≥ 800): Delivers strong amplification from a single small-signal stage.
  • Silicon Epitaxial Planar Construction: Stable and reliable performance across the operating temperature range.
  • Compact TO-92 Package: Easy through-hole mounting on breadboards and prototype PCBs.
  • 35V Vce Rating: Enough headroom for typical low-power audio and general-purpose amplifier circuits.
  • 250MHz Transition Frequency: Good enough bandwidth for audio-frequency and general small-signal applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 2SA721 typically used for?
A: It is intended for low-level and general-purpose amplification stages, such as small-signal audio preamps or sensor signal conditioning, where its very high hFE (min. 800) provides extra gain.

Q: What is the maximum current and voltage the 2SA721 can handle?
A: It is rated for a maximum collector current of 100mA and a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 35V, so it is only suitable for low-power, small-signal circuits.
