Description
The 2N5087 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for low-noise, general-purpose switching and amplification. Featuring a high DC current gain (hFE) and low noise characteristics, it is well-suited for audio frequency preamplifiers, signal processing, and other sensitive analog applications.
Encased in a TO-92 package, the 2N5087 is easy to integrate into through-hole PCB designs for hobbyist, prototyping, or professional use.
