Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE rank suffix (O, Y, P, or G) required for your circuit design, as gain ranges vary significantly between these options. Confirm that the MT-200 mounting dimensions align with your heatsink interface. Ensure compliance with the manufacturer's note indicating this part is not recommended for new designs before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select the appropriate hFE rank based on the required current gain stability for your application. Consider the thermal management requirements, as power dissipation drops linearly above 25°C case temperature. Verify that the -180 V voltage rating meets the peak reverse voltage demands of the load. Evaluate the switching characteristics against the required frequency response for the intended circuit topology.
