Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the 2SC3451 series was originally developed by Sanyo Semiconductor. Ensure the specific suffix 'M' matches the required TO-3P package variant. Confirm that the component meets the necessary electrical specifications for your target voltage and current requirements before integration into the design.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage NPN transistor with 500V blocking capability and 15A continuous current rating is required. Consider the TO-3P package for effective thermal management via a heatsink. Evaluate the 18 MHz transition frequency to ensure suitability for the intended switching frequency of the application circuit.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the 2SC3451 family of power transistors manufactured by onsemi. It serves as a discrete semiconductor solution for demanding power electronics.
