Transistor Case Package

TO-33 Can


Darlington Transistor Can Package; TO-33 Case style, Metal Can

TO-33 Case Outline
TO-33 is a 4-Terminal through-hole transistor with a metal lid.
Terminal identification; Pin 1 Emitter, Pin 2 Base-2, Pin 3 Base-1, Pin 4 Collector.
The Collector is internally connected to the case.
Note the location of the tab to the terminals.

Among the many devices that could use this package include the 2N6350 and 2N6351 Power Darlington Transistors, both of which use two different Base terminals.
The optional resistor normally has a value of 750 ohms.

Transistor Sockets are available for the TO-33 package and will also work for TO-92, TO-5, or TO-72 Devices.
The sockets are PC Mounting of differing sizes [1/4" Diameter X 1/4" High, is one example].

The required Heat Sink would be circular style to slide over the top of the metal can, normally secured with a Thermal Adhesive.

TO-33 Physical Dimensions
TO-33 Physical Measurements


The symbols in the dimension table correspond to the symbols used in the package graphic. Dimensions are provided in both inches and millimeters.

Note that the physical dimensions are provide with both a minimum value and a maximum value. Which means that the actual size could range any where between the min and max numbers, so two different components may not have the exact same dimensions.

Package Type:
4 Axial Leads, .200 Pin Circle


Round metal press-on heat sink, thermal link
Press-on Heatsink
