2SC3114S

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SC3114S is a small signal NPN silicon bipolar transistor manufactured by Sanyo. It features a single-element configuration housed in a TO-92 (SC-43) cylindrical plastic package with three pins. The device supports a maximum collector current of 0.2 A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 50 V. It operates at junction temperatures up to 150 °C with a maximum power dissipation of 0.5 W.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Designed for high emitter-base voltage applications suitable for audio frequency amplification
• Features wide safe operating area with high resistance to breakdown conditions

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Audio amplifier circuits
• General-purpose switching applications

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' against official Sanyo documentation to confirm pinout orientation and marking variations, as suffixes often denote mechanical or packaging differences rather than electrical changes. Ensure the component matches the original manufacturer's specifications for critical audio or switching performance requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN transistor with a 50 V collector-emitter rating and 0.2 A continuous current capacity is required. The TO-92 package is appropriate for through-hole mounting in low-power consumer electronics. Consider the complementary PNP type 2SA1246 if a matched pair is needed for push-pull configurations.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the Sanyo small signal bipolar transistor family, specifically engineered for audio frequency applications. It is functionally paired with the 2SA1246 PNP transistor, which shares similar current and voltage ratings but utilizes opposite polarity. Both devices are designed for use in general-purpose amplification and switching tasks within compact electronic assemblies.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2SA1246 serves as the complementary PNP counterpart within the same product line.
