2SC13830R

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Panasonic 2SC1383 is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar transistor designed for low-frequency power and driver amplification. It features a TO-92L-A1 package with a collector current rating of 1 A and peak current of 1.5 A. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 25 V, collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 30 V, and emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5 V. The device offers a transition frequency (fT) of 200 MHz and a forward current transfer ratio (hFE) ranging from 85 to 340 depending on the rank. It operates within a junction temperature range up to 150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific hFE rank (Q, R, or S) required for your circuit design, as performance varies by bin. Check the official Panasonic semiconductor lifecycle status page for current availability, as this part may be subject to maintenance or discontinuation schedules.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring moderate power handling with a 1 A continuous collector current limit. Ensure the operating voltage remains below the 25 V VCEO rating. Consider the complementary 2SA0683 if a matched pair is needed for push-pull configurations. Verify thermal management capabilities, as the maximum power dissipation is limited to 1 W at 25°C ambient temperature.
