Product Overview
The NTE Electronics NTE323 is a silicon PNP general-purpose amplifier and switching transistor housed in a hermetic TO-39 metal can. Built for linear medium-power amplification and discrete high-speed switching stages, it supports up to 1.5 A continuous collector current and 100 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage. It serves as a direct cross-reference replacement for ECG323 and SK9369 components, and pairs complementarily with the NPN-polarity NTE324 in push-pull driver and output stages.

Applications
- Repairing legacy audio amplifier driver stages, preamplifiers, and solid-state receiver boards.
- Servicing industrial relay drivers, discrete regulators, and power switching circuits.
- Building analog synthesizer modules and custom guitar pedal circuits requiring robust TO-39 PNP silicon devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pinout configuration for the NTE323?
With the TO-39 can viewed from the bottom and the indexing tab pointing toward the emitter lead, the pin layout clockwise is Emitter, Base, and Collector. The collector is electrically connected to the metal can case.
Which NPN device pairs complementarily with this transistor?
The NTE324 is the matched complementary silicon NPN transistor for complementary-symmetry audio drivers and push-pull output configurations.
Why buy a single verified surplus transistor rather than a mixed bulk lot?
Restoring a specific circuit board or bench instrument calls for the correct part without the expense or testing overhead of an unverified assortment. This single, photographed component provides the exact part number needed to complete a repair immediately. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, ship free once your order reaches $28, and depart our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Nothing restores an honest piece of bench gear quite like slipping a proper metal can back into its circuit. One clean solder joint, and another classic system goes right back to work.
