2SA673AC-E

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Renesas 2SA673AC-E is a PNP silicon small-signal transistor housed in a TO-92 package. It supports a maximum collector current of 500 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V. The device features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 60, ensuring reliable amplification performance. Designed for through-hole mounting with three pins, it utilizes plastic/epoxy encapsulation suitable for general-purpose amplifier applications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• PNP polarity configuration for signal amplification
• Robust 500 mA continuous collector current capability
• High breakdown voltage rating of 50 V
• Standard TO-92 cylindrical through-hole packaging

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose signal amplification circuits
• Switching applications requiring moderate current handling
• Audio pre-amplifier stages

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AC' against official Renesas documentation to confirm the exact hFE binning and electrical tolerances. Ensure the TO-92 package variant matches the required PCB footprint. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with Renesas Electronics Corporation to avoid confusion with similar generic PNP transistors.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with 50 V collector-emitter voltage and 500 mA current capacity is required. The minimum hFE of 60 makes it suitable for standard amplification tasks. Consider the TO-92 form factor for through-hole assembly requirements. Compare against the 2SA673DRR if higher gain or different voltage ratings are needed.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component belongs to the Renesas 2SA673 series of small-signal PNP transistors. The series includes variants like the 2SA673ARR and 2SA673DRR, which share similar physical packages but differ in electrical characteristics such as voltage ratings and current gain bins. The AC suffix typically denotes a specific gain classification within this product line.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2SA673ARR is a verified alternative within the same series offering 50 V and 500 mA ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
