2N6609 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N6609 is a PNP silicon power transistor designed for high power audio, disk head positioners, and other linear applications. It can also be used in power switching circuits such as relay or solenoid drivers, DC-DC converters, and inverters.

 

Key electrical ratings include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of -140 V, continuous collector current of -16 A (peak -30 A), and power dissipation of 150 W at case temperature 25°C. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 15 minimum to 85 maximum at 8A collector current and 4V collector-emitter voltage. Collector-emitter saturation voltage is typically -1.4 V at 8A.

 

The device is housed in a TO-204AA/TO-3 metal package with through-hole mounting. The thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.17°C/W. It is the complement to the 2N3773 NPN transistor.
