Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision status of the component, as the product status is listed as obsolete in some official records. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required package configuration and tape-and-reel or tray options if applicable. Confirm compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TO-247-3 package before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high voltage isolation and rapid switching transitions. The 400 V breakdown voltage makes it suitable for medium-voltage AC line applications. Consider the 12 A current rating and 125 W power dissipation when designing heat sinking solutions. Evaluate the switching speed requirements against the Multi Epitaxial Planar technology capabilities to ensure optimal performance in the target circuit topology.
