Old Transistors

My old '69 Motorola Manual stops at the 2N5500 point. The 2N5809 might be a valid number for that time period. But it's not in the Moto manual. :-(

the 2n5809 is not a transistor but rather a hefty stud mount Triac, if my memory serves me... around 30 or 40 Amps. the 2n961 is an RF/IF PNP Germanium transistor, metal can TO18... I used them in some ham radio projects in the late 60's. .... there is no 2n9614.... check the number again.

I have the second edition of General Electric transistor manual , the highest listed are 2N3524 , 3N86, roma

Using Yahoo (the only search engine IMHO) I found this for "2n5809"

Part Number = 2N5809 Description = Triac Manufacturer = Various V(DRM) Max.(V)Rep.Pk.Off Volt. = 600 I(T(RMS)) Max.(A)On-State Cur. = 25 @Temp. (°C) (Test Condition) = 80 I(TSM) Max. (A) = 200 @ t(w) (s) (Test Condition) = 16m I(GT) Max. (A) = 120m V(GT) Max.(V) = 4.0 I(H) Max.(A) Holding Current = 100m I(D) Max. (A) Leakage Current = 2.0m @Temp. (°C) (Test Condition) = 115 V(T) Max. (V) = 1.6 @I(T) (A) (Test Condition) = 35 Package = TO-208var1/4

I couldn't find anything on the other one.

NTE's cross for the 2N5809 is the NTE5547:

The 2N961/46 and 2N961 both cross to an NTE160:

Neither can I find anything on a 2N9614. My data books go back to

I recommend the original poster take a closer look at that transistor (thyristor?) with a microscope and get a better read on the part number.

He is from Canada, perhaps he can contact me directly if he is on the west coast. I'm in Vancouver, BC.

The 2N9614 is mentioned in a patent as a PNP Transistor.
