2SC3461M

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Sanyo 2SC3461M is a power NPN silicon bipolar transistor housed in a TO-3PML flange mount package. It features a maximum collector current of 25A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 500V. The device has a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 20 and supports an operating temperature up to 150°C. Its isolated case connection facilitates mounting, and it is constructed with plastic/epoxy encapsulation for high reliability applications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Sanyo Semiconductor operations have undergone corporate restructuring. Confirm that the component matches the original Sanyo specifications rather than subsequent licensees or rebrands. Ensure the TO-3PML package dimensions and pinout align with your board layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single NPN transistor requires 500V blocking voltage and 25A continuous current. The TO-3PML package is appropriate for chassis-mounted applications requiring electrical isolation between the collector and the heatsink. Consider the minimum hFE of 20 for base drive circuit design to ensure saturation in switching applications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the Sanyo power transistor family designed for general-purpose high-power applications. The 2SC series typically denotes NPN silicon transistors. The 'M' suffix often indicates specific packaging or reliability grades within the manufacturer's lineup, specifically the TO-3PML form factor in this instance.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with generic equivalents by matching the 500V V(BR)CEO, 25A IC, and TO-3PML package constraints.
