2N6520-AP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The MCC 2N6520-AP is a PNP epitaxial silicon transistor housed in a TO-92 molded plastic through-hole package. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 350 V and a maximum DC collector current of 500 mA. The device supports a power dissipation of 625 mW at 25°C ambient temperature, with a thermal resistance of 200°C/W junction-to-ambient. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 20 at IC=100mA, a turn-on time of 200 µs, and a turn-off time of 3.5 µs under specified test conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High voltage capability with 350 V collector-emitter breakdown rating
• Suitable for general-purpose switching applications with defined saturation voltages
• RoHS compliant construction with lead-free finish

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose high-voltage switching circuits
• Complementary pairing with NPN transistors such as the 2N6517
• Low-power amplifier stages requiring high voltage tolerance

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration. The AP suffix indicates ammo packing, distinct from bulk options. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the assembly process. Ensure the distributor source is authorized by Micro Commercial Components to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability. Check for specific halogen-free requirements if indicated by an additional HF suffix.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a 350 V breakdown voltage is required in a TO-92 package. Compare the 625 mW power dissipation limit against thermal management constraints in the target design. Evaluate the DC current gain ranges across different collector currents to ensure adequate amplification or switching performance. Consider the complementary relationship with the 2N6517 NPN variant for matched circuit pairs.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The 2N6520 belongs to a family of high-voltage epitaxial silicon transistors manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It serves as the PNP counterpart to the 2N6517 NPN transistor within the same datasheet specification. The series is designed for applications demanding moderate current handling alongside high voltage isolation in small signal packages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2N6517 is documented as the direct NPN complement within the same MCC datasheet. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substituting with other manufacturers' equivalents.
