2SC3151M

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi 2SC3151M is a single NPN silicon power bipolar junction transistor designed for high-voltage switching applications. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 800 V and a maximum continuous collector current of 1.5 A. The device is housed in a TO-3PB (TO-218) plastic through-hole package, providing robust thermal dissipation capabilities with a maximum power rating of 60 W. It exhibits a transition frequency of 15 MHz, suitable for regulator circuits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High-voltage capability with 800 V collector-emitter breakdown
• Robust thermal performance via TO-3PB through-hole packaging
• Optimized for use in switching regulator topologies

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Switching regulators
• High-voltage power supply circuits
• General-purpose power switching

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the 2SC3151M designation was originally established by Sanyo Semiconductor. Confirm that the specific unit supplied is an onsemi product to ensure compliance with datasheet specifications. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required for environmental regulations. Ensure the TO-3PB package matches the intended PCB footprint or chassis mounting requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN power transistor requires 800 V blocking capability and up to 1.5 A current handling. The TO-3PB package is appropriate for applications requiring efficient heat sinking to a chassis or heatsink. Consider the 15 MHz transition frequency for switching speed requirements. Evaluate thermal resistance parameters against the system's ambient temperature and load conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the family of high-voltage NPN power transistors used in industrial and consumer electronics power supplies. While the '2SC' prefix historically denotes Sanyo Semiconductor products, onsemi manufactures this specific variant. It serves as a discrete solution for medium-power conversion tasks where integrated controllers are not utilized.
