2SC248000L

Overview

The Panasonic 2SC2480 is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar transistor designed for high-frequency amplification, oscillation, and mixing applications. It operates within a collector-emitter voltage of 20 V and supports a maximum collector current of 50 mA with 150 mW power dissipation. The device features a mini SC-59A package (Mini3-G1) suitable for automatic insertion. Electrical characteristics include a transition frequency ranging from 800 to 1600 MHz depending on the rank, a forward current transfer ratio between 25 and 250, and a typical power gain of 20 dB at 200 MHz.
