Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE rank required for your design, as the datasheet defines ranks O (50-100), P (70-140), and Y (90-180). Confirm the package style matches the MT-100 (TO-3P) external dimensions provided. Ensure thermal management aligns with the derating curves for ambient temperatures exceeding 25°C. Cross-reference the complement part number 2SC4468 if designing balanced output stages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage PNP transistor is needed to match the 2SC4468. Consider the TO-3P package size and mounting requirements for your chassis design. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics against your expected load currents to ensure operation within the safe operating area. Verify that the required hFE gain falls within the available rank specifications for your application's linearity needs.
