Product Description

2N2907 PNP Switching Transistor

General-Purpose PNP Transistor for Switching and Amplification

The 2N2907 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for highspeed switching and generalpurpose amplification, serving as the complementary partner to the NPN 2N2222. It is commonly found in TO18 metal can packaging, though TO92 plastic variants also exist.

Complementary to 2N2222 PNP counterpart for pushpull configurations and high-side switching.
HighSpeed Performance Features a transition frequency (fT) of 200MHz for fast switching applications.
Collector current max: 600mA (continuous).
Collector-Emitter Voltage (VCEO): 40V (maximum).
For use with Arduino, employ a PNP transistor for high-side switching, where the load is connected between the transistor and ground. The base must be pulled low (GND) relative to the emitter to turn it on [citation:3].
