2SC6011

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SC6011 is an NPN silicon power transistor in a TO-3P package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 200 V, a collector current of 15 A, and a power dissipation of 160 W at 25°C. The device utilizes Sanken's wafer-thinner technique to reduce thermal resistance and improve avalanche breakdown ratings. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 50 to 180 depending on the specific sub-type. The cutoff frequency is typically 20 MHz.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the hFE rating suffix (O, P, or Y) required for the design, as unspecified orders may be fulfilled with either range O or Y based on availability. Confirm compliance with storage conditions regarding temperature and humidity to prevent lead rusting. Ensure proper grounding during handling to avoid electrostatic discharge damage.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select the appropriate hFE range based on circuit requirements: Range O (50-100), Range P (70-140), or Range Y (90-180). Consider the complementary 2SA2151 for push-pull configurations. Verify that the application does not require aerospace or nuclear reliability levels, as these are strictly prohibited without written consent.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component is part of Sanken's audio amplification transistor series designed for AV and PA systems. It serves as a high-power discrete solution for multichannel applications. The device is explicitly marked as Not Recommended for New Designs in official documentation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Official datasheets identify the 2SA2151 as the complementary PNP transistor and recommend the 2SC4832 as an alternative output driver.
