Single Bipolar Transistors datasheet and documents for 2SC3856

2SC3856

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Sanken Electric 2SC3856 is a silicon NPN triple diffused planar transistor designed for audio and general-purpose applications. It serves as the complement to the 2SA1492 PNP device. The component features a collector-base voltage of 200V, a collector-emitter voltage of 180V, and a continuous collector current rating of 15A. Maximum power dissipation reaches 130W at a case temperature of 25°C. Electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 50 at IC=3A and VCE=4V, with a typical transition frequency (fT) of 20MHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Triple diffused planar construction for robust performance
High-speed switching capability with low storage time
Low collector saturation voltage for efficient operation
Complementary pairing with 2SA1492 for push-pull circuits

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

Audio amplifier output stages
General purpose high-current switching
DC-DC converter output transistors

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE rank suffix (O, P, or Y) required for your circuit design, as these indicate different gain ranges. Confirm the MT-100 (TO-3P) package compatibility with your thermal management system. Ensure sourcing from authorized channels to guarantee authenticity against counterfeit components.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing complementary pairs requiring high voltage tolerance and significant current handling. The 2SC3856 is optimized for audio fidelity and general switching tasks. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and ensure adequate heatsinking to maintain power dissipation within safe operating limits during continuous operation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This NPN transistor belongs to Sanken's series of high-power discrete semiconductors. It is engineered to pair directly with the 2SA1492 PNP transistor, facilitating balanced performance in symmetric circuit topologies. The triple diffused planar technology ensures reliable operation under demanding electrical conditions common in consumer audio and industrial power supplies.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2SA1492 is the official complementary counterpart. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal requirements before substituting with other TO-3P packages. Cross-referencing with generic equivalents requires careful validation of absolute maximum ratings and hFE characteristics.
