AT TIME OF LISTING! we have 3 of these RCA 2N6261 transistors in stock all marked RE 2L
The “RE 2L” marking on these 2N6261 NPN power transistors is a manufacturer tracking code and not a variation of the electrical specifications.
2N6261: This is the JEDEC industry-standard part number. All transistors with this part number share identical baseline electrical properties, regardless of the secondary stamps.
- RE: This typically identifies the original manufacturing foundry or corporation code (such as RCA, the primary pioneer of this specific TO-66 hometaxial-base package).
- 2L: This is a vintage date code or batch lot identifier (often signifying the year/month of production or the specific assembly line run). Because all your components share this exact code, they originate from the exact same production lot.
Technical Profile
These are rugged, vintage hometaxial-base medium-power silicon NPN transistors housed in a metal TO-66 package. They are highly regarded for their wide safe operating area (SOA).

Practical Advice for Using Lot-Matched Batches
Because our entire stock features the exact same “RE 2L” batch code, these components are highly uniform. They are ideal for applications requiring matched characteristics, such as:
- Push-pull audio amplifier output stages
- Parallel transistor configurations for linear power supplies
- Restoring vintage equipment where maintaining specific internal manufacturing periods is valued

PLEASE NOTE!
- These parts came to us as part of a lot of surplus stock from a large ‘Milspec’ type Co. and have been kept in storage for some time, we have therefore classified them as ‘new other’. They are however unused and in good serviceable condition, and, as with all our products they come with a full guarantee.
