2SA07200RA

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Panasonic 2SA0720 is a silicon PNP epitaxial planar transistor designed for low-frequency power and driver amplification. It features a TO-92B-B1 package with an absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage of -50 V and a continuous collector current rating of -500 mA. The device provides a peak collector current capability of -1 A and a collector power dissipation of 625 mW at 25°C ambient temperature. Electrical characteristics include a transition frequency (fT) of 200 MHz and a forward current transfer ratio (hFE) ranging from 40 to 340 depending on the specific rank classification.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Complementary pairing with the 2SC1318 NPN transistor
• Epitaxial planar construction for stable operation
• High transition frequency suitable for low-frequency applications

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Low-frequency power amplification circuits
• Driver amplification stages
• General-purpose electronic equipment

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact lifecycle status, as the datasheet indicates maintenance or discontinuation phases. Confirm that the required hFE rank aligns with your circuit design needs, as gain varies significantly between classifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your manufacturing process.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with moderate voltage handling and high current gain is required. Consider the complementary 2SC1318 for matched pairs in push-pull configurations. Evaluate thermal management requirements carefully, as power dissipation decreases linearly with rising ambient temperature beyond 25°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to Panasonic's lineup of silicon PNP transistors intended for general-purpose amplification. It utilizes the standard TO-92B-B1 through-hole package, which facilitates manual insertion and prototyping. The device is engineered to operate reliably within a junction temperature range up to 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The official complementary counterpart specified by the manufacturer is the 2SC1318.
