2N6517-BP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MCC 2N6517-BP is an NPN epitaxial silicon high-voltage 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 junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 200°C/W. Electrical characteristics include a DC current gain ranging from 15 to 300 depending on collector current, a transition frequency up to 200 MHz, and a maximum operating junction temperature of 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High voltage capability with 350 V collector-emitter breakdown
• Through-hole TO-92 molded plastic case for standard mounting

• General purpose amplifier stages
• Driver applications requiring moderate current handling

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type and environmental compliance. The -BP suffix indicates bulk packaging. Ensure the source is an authorized distributor to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability. Check for the -HF suffix if halogen-free requirements are necessary for the assembly process.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single NPN transistor with high voltage blocking capability is required in a low-power application. The TO-92 package limits thermal performance compared to larger cases, so ensure adequate heat sinking or derating is applied if operating near maximum ratings. Compare current gain and breakdown voltage requirements against circuit specifications before finalizing the design.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N6515/2N6517/2N6519/2N6520 family of high-voltage transistors manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. The 2N6517 variant specifically provides NPN polarity with 350 V ratings, distinguishing it from the lower voltage 2N6515 and the complementary PNP 2N6519.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same MCC series include the 2N6515 for lower voltage applications. Cross-manufacturer equivalents such as the ON Semiconductor 2N6517BU may be considered if pinout and electrical parameters match exactly.
