Product Overview
RCA 2N5322 - PNP silicon power transistor in a hermetically sealed TO-39 metal can with gold-plated leads. Rated 75V collector-base and collector-emitter, 2A continuous collector current, 10W dissipation with heatsink, and 50 MHz transition frequency. Engineered during the golden era of American solid-state electronics for audio amplifier output and driver stages, high-speed switching, and power regulation circuits.

Applications
- Restoring vintage hi-fi amplifiers and studio console output stages that originally specified the 2N5322 or a PNP TO-39 equivalent
- Driver and output stage replacement in classic solid-state receivers and integrated amplifiers from the 1960s-1970s
- High-speed switching loops and power regulation circuits in legacy industrial and military-surplus hardware
- Analog bench builds and experimenters looking for a genuine American-made metal-can PNP at audio frequencies
- Collectors acquiring original RCA-marked TO-39 transistors with intact gold leads and legible date codes
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a genuine RCA-manufactured part?
Yes. The RCA corporate logo and JEDEC part number 2N5322 are stamped on the metal header cap and are fully legible. Date code H 7933 is also present. These markings confirm original RCA manufacture.
What package type is this, and will it fit a standard TO-39 socket?
TO-39 metal can. It fits any standard TO-39 socket or through-hole footprint designed for the TO-39 pinout.
Is a heatsink required?
For the full 10W dissipation rating, yes - an appropriate external heatsink is required. Free-air dissipation at 25C is 1W without a heatsink.
What is included with this purchase?
One RCA 2N5322 transistor only.
Gold leads on a metal-can transistor are not decoration - they are the sign of a part built to last and built to spec. Whoever needs this one knows exactly where it is going.
