Features
High Collector Current: It can handle a maximum collector current of 2A taking into consideration the current-switching requirement without overheating it, hence, very good for medium power applications.
Voltage Rating: Gives a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80V under conditions of operation in circuits that may have moderate voltage requirements. One of the most useful transistors in building versatility for a wide range of low-to-medium voltage designs.
Low Saturation Voltage: This is a result of having low saturation voltage, which means it works very efficiently, with very little power loss during switching. It is beneficial for general efficiency because power generation is reduced.
High Gain: This transistor provides very high current gain (hFE), thus making it most qualified for any amplification-type circuits where the signal strength might be weak. Therefore this will be a great application for audio, signal processing, and communication systems.
Fast Switching: This device is optimized for fast-switching applications and is quickly turned on and off for high-speed circuits such as digital systems.
Rugged and Reliable: Built for long/extended services, this device has very good thermal stability and the capability to withstand different operating conditions, which makes it dependable in operation over time.
