2SC4886

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The Sanken Electric 2SC4886 is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar transistor designed for audio and general-purpose applications, serving as the complement to the 2SA1860 PNP type. It features a collector-base voltage of 150 V and a collector-emitter voltage of 150 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 14 A and dissipates up to 80 W at 25°C case temperature. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 50 at IC=5A, VCE=4V, and a typical transition frequency (fT) of 60 MHz. The saturation voltage is 2.0 V maximum under specified conditions.
