2N5885G Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N5885G is an NPN silicon high-power bipolar junction transistor designed for general-purpose power amplifier and switching applications. It is part of the complementary high-power transistor family that includes the 2N5883/2N5884 (PNP) and 2N5885/2N5886 (NPN) types. Key ratings include a 60 V collector-emitter voltage, 60 V collector-base voltage, and 5.0 V emitter-base voltage. The device supports a continuous collector current of 25 A and a peak collector current of 50 A, making it suitable for high-current circuits.

 

At a case temperature of 25°C, the transistor can dissipate up to 200 W, with a derating factor of 1.15 W/°C above this temperature. The DC current gain (hFE) is at least 20 at Ic = 10 A and Vce = 4 V, and the current gain-bandwidth product is 4 MHz minimum. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is specified as 4 V maximum at Ib = 6.25 A and Ic = 25 A. The device operates over a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C.

 

The 2N5885G is supplied in a TO-204AA (TO-3) metal case package, a through-hole mounting style. The TO-3 package provides a low thermal resistance path for heat sinking. The 'G' suffix indicates lead-free (Pb-free) packaging, which is confirmed by the datasheet. Common applications include power amplifiers and switching circuits requiring high current and power handling.
