The 2SC2714 is a NPN type bipolar transistor made by the Chinese electronics company Hottech. It is designed to be used in low-power, low voltage applications and has an operating voltage range from 30 volts to 3 volts. The 2SC2714 comes packaged in a SOT-23-3 small outline package and is manufactured in compliance with the requirements of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. It has a maximum collector current of 20mA, meaning it can be used in small signal applications. It is one of the most versatile transistors, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications, such as audio amplifiers, audio switching circuits, constant current sources, and more.
