2SC15670S

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Panasonic 2SC15670S is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar power transistor designed for low-frequency high-power driver applications. It operates within the TO-126B-A1 package, which facilitates direct heat sink mounting without an insulating plate. The device provides a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 100 V and a continuous collector current rating of 0.5 A. Key electrical characteristics include a transition frequency (fT) of 120 MHz and a forward current transfer ratio (hFE) ranging from 130 to 330 depending on the specific rank classification.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Optimized for use as a driver stage in low-frequency audio amplifiers with output powers between 40 W and 100 W.
• Features a TO-126B package design that eliminates the need for separate insulation plates during installation onto heat sinks.
• Complementary to the 2SA0794 and 2SA0794A PNP transistors for push-pull circuit configurations.

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Low-frequency amplifier driver stages
• Audio equipment power amplification circuits
• General-purpose electronic equipment

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact lifecycle status through official Panasonic channels before procurement. Confirm whether the specific suffix variant matches the required hFE rank classification. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives applicable to your region. Review the latest Product Standards for any specification updates prior to finalizing orders.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing low-frequency driver stages requiring a VCEO of 100 V and a collector current up to 0.5 A. Consider the TO-126B package for simplified thermal management due to its non-insulated mounting capability. Match the hFE rank to ensure consistent gain performance across production batches.
