2N3232 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3232 is a silicon NPN power transistor manufactured by RF, suitable for general purpose power switch and amplifier applications. It offers an excellent Safe Operating Area and a continuous collector current of up to 7.5A.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a Collector-Emitter Sustaining Voltage (VCEO(SUS)) of 60V minimum and a Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage (VCE(sat)) of 2.5V maximum at 3A. The DC Current Gain (hFE) ranges from 18 to 55 at IC=3A. The transistor is housed in a TO3 package, designed for through-hole mounting.

 

With a maximum Collector Power Dissipation (PC) of 117W at 25°C and a junction temperature up to 200°C, this transistor is built for demanding power applications. Its thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.5°C/W, facilitating efficient heat dissipation.
