Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RTU against official datasheets to confirm the exact packaging configuration, as suffixes can indicate variations in tube or tape-and-reel formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest documentation. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for this discontinued or legacy part number if applicable.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high-current PNP switching or linear amplification. It serves as a complement to the 2SC5242 and FJA4313 NPN transistors. Consider thermal management requirements due to the 130W dissipation rating. Verify that the -250V voltage rating meets the circuit's maximum supply requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the family of high-power PNP epitaxial silicon transistors from onsemi. It is functionally related to variants such as the 2SA1943 in TO-264 packages and the FJP1943 in TO-220 packages, which offer different power dissipation levels. These components are typically used in complementary pairs within audio amplifier circuits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Official complements include the 2SC5242 and FJA4313 NPN transistors. Alternative package versions include the 2SA1943 (TO-264) and FJP1943 (TO-220). Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting.
