Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the 2SC5949 part number is historically associated with Toshiba Semiconductor. Confirm that the specific EVVO-branded unit matches the required electrical specifications, particularly the 200V breakdown voltage and 15A current rating, before integration into designs.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust NPN power switching with moderate frequency response. Ensure the thermal management solution accommodates the 220 W dissipation rating in the TO-3PL package. Verify compatibility with the target circuit's voltage and current demands against the specified 200 V and 15 A limits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The 2SC5949 is a legacy part number originally defined by Toshiba for a silicon NPN power transistor. While listed under EVVO in some distributor catalogs, the technical parameters align with standard power BJT specifications. Users should treat the EVVO branding as a distributor or secondary source designation rather than an original equipment manufacturer identity for this specific historical part number.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Consult official datasheets for direct substitutes from other manufacturers offering identical 200V/15A/TO-3PL specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when considering alternative sources to ensure seamless integration without circuit redesign.
