Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE rank suffix (O, P, or Y) required for your design, as these denote different gain ranges. Confirm that the MT-200 package dimensions align with your thermal management strategy. Note that this component is marked as not recommended for new designs; ensure compliance with long-term availability constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage NPN transistor with significant current handling is needed for legacy or specific audio designs. Ensure the base drive circuit can supply the necessary current to achieve the specified saturation voltages. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and the need for heatsinking given the 15W dissipation rating at case temperature.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context
