Product Overview
The RCA FBN36487 is a power transistor built in RCA's TO-3 metal can, the diamond-shaped flanged case with two mounting holes used across decades of audio and industrial power circuits. This example carries the maker's mark, part number, and a C 8714 date code stamped directly on the case top, along with a small green quality dot. Full electrical specifications such as voltage, current, and gain are not confirmed here - verify against the datasheet before use. With 3 in stock, each unit is sold separately.
