2SC4382

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SC4382 is a silicon NPN triple diffused planar transistor manufactured by Sanken Electric. It serves as the complement to the 2SA1667/1668 PNP types. Key absolute maximum ratings include a collector-to-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 200 V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 2 A. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 25 W at a case temperature of 25°C. Electrical characteristics specify a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 200 under standard test conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Triple diffused planar construction for robust performance
• High breakdown voltage capability suitable for vertical output stages
• Designed as a matched pair complement to specific PNP transistors

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• TV vertical output circuits
• Audio output driver stages
• General purpose switching applications

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer source against official Sanken Electric documentation. Confirm the package type matches FM20 (TO-220F) physical dimensions. Ensure the part number suffix aligns with the specific electrical ratings provided in the datasheet. Cross-reference the complement model 2SA1667/1668 if paired operation is required.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for high-voltage NPN switching requirements where a complementary PNP pair is needed. The 200 V rating and 2 A current capacity define its operational limits. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heatsinking solutions for continuous operation above ambient temperatures.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This transistor belongs to the 2SC4381/4382 series produced by Sanken Electric. It is engineered specifically to complement the 2SA1667/1668 series, forming complete push-pull pairs for audio and video output stages. The triple diffused planar technology ensures reliable operation in demanding consumer electronics environments.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The 2SC4381 is the direct PNP complement within the same series. For replacement, verify that the substitute meets the 200 V VCEO and 2 A IC requirements. Ensure the replacement maintains compatibility with the intended TV vertical or audio driver circuit topology.
