Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to the part's discontinued status. Confirm that the received unit matches the MT-100 (TO-3P) physical dimensions and pinout configuration. Ensure compliance with RoHS specifications if required by the end application. Review the datasheet for absolute maximum ratings to prevent operational damage during integration.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current handling and substantial voltage blocking capabilities in a through-hole format. Consider the complementary 2SD2083 NPN transistor for push-pull configurations. Evaluate thermal management solutions carefully, as power dissipation is highly dependent on case temperature and heatsinking efficiency. Note that the manufacturer advises against using this part for new designs.
