2N6517-AP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MCC 2N6517-AP is an NPN epitaxial silicon planar transistor housed in a TO-92 through-hole package. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 350 V and a continuous collector current rating of 500 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 625 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, with a thermal resistance of 200°C/W junction-to-ambient. Operating and storage temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 15 to 300 depending on collector current, a transition frequency (fT) up to 200 MHz, and low saturation voltages for efficient switching.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High voltage capability with 350 V collector-emitter breakdown
• Through-hole TO-92 molded plastic construction
• RoHS compliant lead-free finish

• Driver stages for loads operating within specified voltage limits

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type. The AP suffix indicates Ammo Pack configuration, distinct from Bulk packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status and halogen-free availability if required by project specifications. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single NPN transistor with 350 V blocking capability is required in a compact through-hole form factor. Consider the 625 mW power dissipation limit and thermal management requirements for the intended application environment. Verify that the required current gain and switching speeds align with the datasheet electrical characteristics under expected operating conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N6515/2N6517/2N6519/2N6520 series manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The series includes complementary NPN and PNP variants with varying voltage ratings. The 2N6517 specifically denotes the NPN variant with 350 V ratings, distinguishing it from the 2N6515 (250 V) and PNP counterparts.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 2N6517 equivalents such as those from onsemi or Fairchild. Verify pinout compatibility (Collector-Base-Emitter) and ensure electrical parameters like VCEO, IC, and hFE meet or exceed original design requirements.
