LM395T

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The LM395T is a monolithic power transistor featuring integrated overload protection. It operates as an NPN device with a maximum collector current of 2.2 A and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 36 V. The component supports a junction temperature range from 0°C to 125°C and utilizes a TO-220-3 through-hole package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Monolithic integration of power transistor and protection circuitry
• Complete overload protection mechanisms included
• High gain power transistor configuration

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring integrated protection
• Motor control applications
• General purpose power switching

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as National Semiconductor assets are now managed by Texas Instruments. Confirm the specific ordering suffix, such as NOPB, which indicates lead-free compliance. Ensure the package type matches the required TO-220-3 form factor for your design constraints.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single solution combining high-current handling and fault protection is required. The integrated nature reduces external component count compared to discrete transistors. Verify that the 36 V rating and 2.2 A current limit align with the system's electrical requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the LM195/LM395 family of ultra-reliable power transistors. These devices are designed to provide robust performance in demanding environments by combining fast switching capabilities with comprehensive internal safety features for industrial and commercial applications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The LM395T/NOPB is a direct equivalent variant offered by Texas Instruments. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting with other power transistor families or updated revisions from the same manufacturer.
