2SC2983

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor 2SC2983 is a surface-mount NPN silicon epitaxial transistor housed in a TO-252AA (D-PACK) package. It supports a maximum collector current of 1.5 A and a power dissipation of 15 W at 25°C case temperature. The device features a collector-emitter voltage rating of 160 V and a DC current gain ranging from 70 to 240. Automotive-grade variants, designated with suffixes -Q or -AQ, offer enhanced performance including higher current gains up to 390 and lower saturation voltages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High collector current capability for robust switching and amplification
• High power dissipation suitable for thermal management in compact designs
• Complementary pairing available with the 2SA1225 PNP transistor

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Power amplifier circuits
• Driver stage applications

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. Standard commercial units lack automotive certification. Suffix -Q indicates compliance with AEC-Q101 standards, while suffix -AQ denotes full qualification under the same standard. Confirm that the required electrical characteristics align with either the standard or automotive specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select the standard version for general commercial and industrial use where cost efficiency is prioritized. Choose the -Q or -AQ variants if the application requires adherence to automotive reliability standards. Ensure adequate heat sinking is provided, as the 15 W power dissipation rating is measured at the metallic heat flange rather than ambient conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component belongs to Diotec's high-current NPN transistor series designed for surface-mount technology. It utilizes the TO-252AA package to facilitate efficient thermal transfer through the collector terminal. The device is intended for standard commercial and industrial grade environments, providing a reliable solution for medium-power amplification tasks.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the 2SA1225 as the recommended complementary PNP transistor for push-pull configurations.
