Product Overview
Silicon P-channel junction field-effect transistor (JFET) from Texas Instruments, housed in a hermetically sealed TO-5 metal can with an indexing tab. Built for high-impedance input stages, analog switching, and small-signal amplification, it provides low-noise performance in discrete analog circuitry.
Key Features
- Device Type: Silicon P-channel junction field-effect transistor (JFET)
- Package Style: TO-5 hermetic metal can with indexing tab
- Lead Configuration: 3 gold-plated through-hole wire leads (Gate, Source, Drain)
- Breakdown Voltage (BVDGO): 20 V minimum
- Cross-Reference: UK military valve number CV10410
Applications
- Restoring vintage audio preamplifiers, analog synthesizers, and test instruments
- High-impedance sensor buffer stages and electrometer front ends
- Prototyping discrete analog circuits and low-level analog switches
Frequently Asked Questions
What lead material is used on this transistor?
The three flexible wire leads are gold-plated for solderability and corrosion resistance.
What package type does the 2N2386 use?
It is housed in an industry-standard three-lead TO-5 metal can with a perimeter indexing tab adjacent to the gate lead.
What military specification cross-reference corresponds to the 2N2386?
The 2N2386 cross-references directly to the British military valve designation CV10410.
Built when silicon transistors came in solid metal cans with gold-flashed leads. Slide it into your circuit and let vintage TI engineering handle the signal.
