2SC4487S-AN

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SC4487S-AN is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by onsemi. It utilizes the FBET process technology and is housed in a 3-terminal NMP (SC-71) through-hole package. The device supports a maximum collector current of 3 A and a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V. Key electrical characteristics include a transition frequency of 150 MHz, a DC current gain of at least 140 at 100 mA, and a saturation voltage of 700 mV at 2 A. It operates within a junction temperature range up to +150 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S-AN' against official datasheets to confirm packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may evolve. Check for obsolescence notices or PCN documentation from onsemi prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring moderate voltage blocking with high current capacity in a compact through-hole form factor. Ensure thermal management accounts for the 1 W power dissipation limit. Verify that the 50 V breakdown voltage exceeds the circuit's peak operating voltage with adequate safety margins.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to onsemi's discrete bipolar transistor portfolio, designed for robust performance in industrial and consumer electronics. The NMP package offers a balance between thermal performance and board space efficiency compared to larger TO-220 variants while maintaining through-hole mounting compatibility.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for direct equivalents. Generic replacements must match the NPN configuration, 3 A current rating, 50 V voltage rating, and NMP/SC-71 package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
