Product Overview
Motorola 2N2914 Dual NPN Transistor - New TO-78-6 Metal Can Stock
Condition
The piece photographed here is representative of our New stock on hand. The can top carries a clean Motorola batwing logo, the "2N2914" part marking, and a "612" date code. The can sidewall and the gold-toned base flange show mottled shading and tonal variation in the photos. The six leads are formed and spread for through-hole mounting, with a bright, gold-toned finish and no solder or prior installation marks visible.

Product Overview
This is a Motorola 2N2914 dual NPN transistor in a TO-78-6 metal can package, built around two NPN junctions sharing a single six-lead through-hole case. Rated for 45V, 30mA, and a 60MHz gain-bandwidth product with 600mW power dissipation, the 2N2914 was a common choice for differential amplifier and matched-pair circuits where two closely paired devices need to sit on the same board. The can top is stamped with the Motorola logo, the 2N2914 part number, and a date code, confirming factory origin. Four pieces are in stock, sold individually.

Frequently Asked Questions
What package is the Motorola 2N2914 in?
It ships in the original TO-78-6 metal can, a six-lead through-hole package sized for the dual NPN die inside. All six leads are present and formed for board mounting.
Is this a matched dual transistor?
The 2N2914 packages two NPN transistors in one can, a design historically used for differential amplifier and comparator stages that need two closely paired devices. We have not run individual gain matching on this stock; it is sold as the standard factory dual-transistor part.
Is the part new or pulled from a board?
This is New stock, not a pulled part. The can shows no solder, no installation marks, and the leads are unclipped and formed as manufactured.
Why buy from PartsMine instead of a bulk transistor lot?
We have four of these Motorola 2N2914 transistors in stock, so you can order the exact count your build calls for, whether that is one for a repair or several for a production run, instead of buying into a mixed grab-bag lot. Shipping is $8 flat rate, free once your order passes $28, and it leaves our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Two transistors sharing one can, doing one job together the way Motorola built them to. If your circuit still calls for a matched dual NPN in a TO-78 can, this one is ready to go back to work.
