2SA1568

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SA1568 is a silicon PNP epitaxial planar transistor designed as the complement to the 2SC4065. It features a collector-base voltage of -100 V, a collector-emitter voltage of -60 V, and a continuous collector current rating of 6 A. The device dissipates up to 35 W at a case temperature of 25°C. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 50 and a typical transition frequency (fT) of 40 MHz. It incorporates a built-in protection diode between the collector and emitter terminals.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer's official datasheet documentation. Confirm that the package matches the specified FM20 (TO-220F) form factor. Ensure the part number suffix aligns with standard manufacturing lot codes. Validate compliance with relevant environmental standards prior to integration into final assemblies.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current PNP switch is required to match an NPN counterpart like the 2SC4065. The integrated C-E diode simplifies circuit topology by eliminating external flyback components. Evaluate thermal management requirements carefully, as power dissipation drops significantly above 25°C ambient temperature without adequate heatsinking.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This device belongs to Sanken Electric's lineup of general-purpose power transistors. It utilizes an epitaxial planar process to ensure stable performance under high current loads. The TO-220F package provides robust mechanical mounting and facilitates efficient heat transfer to external cooling structures during operation.
