2SB1560

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Sanken Electric 2SB1560 is a Silicon PNP Epitaxial Planar Transistor designed for audio, series regulator, and general-purpose applications. It serves as the complement to the 2SD2390 type. Key absolute maximum ratings include a collector-base voltage of -160 V, collector-emitter voltage of -150 V, emitter-base voltage of -5 V, and continuous collector current of -10 A. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 100 W at a case temperature of 25°C and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE rank suffix (O, P, or Y) required for your design, as these denote distinct gain ranges. Confirm the MT-100 (TO-3P) package dimensions match your mechanical constraints. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the 100 W dissipation rating at 25°C case temperature. Cross-reference the complement part number 2SD2390 if matching NPN/PNP pairs are needed for push-pull stages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling and moderate voltage blocking are required in a single-ended or complementary pair topology. The Darlington structure simplifies drive requirements but increases saturation voltage compared to single-transistor designs. Evaluate the safe operating area curves for pulse applications to ensure thermal stability under transient loads.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context
