Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision (Rev 3) to confirm the updated total power dissipation and thermal resistance values. Ensure the component is sourced in the specified TO-3P tube packaging. Confirm compliance with ECOPACK lead-free specifications if environmental requirements are mandatory for the assembly process.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high voltage handling up to 230 V combined with significant current capacity. The fast switching characteristics and defined transition frequency make it appropriate for audio power stages. Verify that the application can accommodate the TO-3P through-hole mounting style and adequate heat sinking for the 150 W dissipation rating.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This device belongs to the family of high-power NPN transistors designed for linear amplifier applications. It is specifically complementary to the 2STA1962 PNP transistor, allowing for matched pairs in push-pull configurations. The use of BiT-LA technology ensures stable performance under high-power conditions typical in professional audio equipment.
