Product details

Dual pre-biased transistor in a 6-pin US6

The Toshiba RN4904,LF packs one NPN and one PNP pre-biased transistor into a single 6-pin US6 package (SC-88 / SOT-363 footprint). Each transistor has its own 47 kΩ base resistor and 47 kΩ base-emitter resistor, so you drop the external bias network — the part switches on with a logic-level signal directly. The 200 mW power limit and 50 V collector-emitter breakdown cover low-side and high-side drive in 5 V or 12 V rails. 100 mA continuous collector current handles relay coils, indicator LEDs, and small signal loads without a heatsink.

Bias resistor set — 47 kΩ / 47 kΩ

The RN4904 uses matched 47 kΩ resistors on both the base and base-emitter legs. That is a higher impedance than the 10 kΩ / 10 kΩ pair on the RN1702 or the 22 kΩ / 47 kΩ mix on the RN1908. The higher base resistance means lower drive current from the MCU pin, but it also raises the input threshold — the transistor turns on when the base voltage exceeds about 0.7 V plus the drop across the 47 kΩ base resistor. For a 3.3 V logic output the RN4904 switches cleanly; for 1.8 V logic the lower-resistance parts may be a better fit.

The LF suffix confirms lead-free / RoHS-compliant plating, which matches current assembly requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RN4904 transistor?

The RN4904 is a dual NPN/PNP pre-biased transistor from Toshiba. It integrates one NPN and one PNP transistor with built-in 47 kΩ bias resistors in a single US6 surface-mount package, rated for 50 V Vceo, 100 mA Ic, and 200 mW power dissipation.

What is the equivalent of RN4904?

The closest functional second-source is the RN2904FE,LF, which is a dual PNP-only pre-biased transistor with the same 47 kΩ / 47 kΩ bias resistors and 200 MHz transition frequency. For a dual NPN/PNP complement the RN1908 (2 NPN, 22 kΩ / 47 kΩ) or RN1702 (2 NPN, 10 kΩ / 10 kΩ) are different bias configurations — check the resistor values against your drive circuit.
