2N720A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N720A is a silicon planar epitaxial NPN transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is designed for high-voltage general-purpose applications, offering a collector-base voltage of 120V, a collector-emitter voltage of 80V, and a collector current of 500mA. The device provides a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 40 at 150mA and 10V, with a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 5V at 150mA.

 

This transistor is suitable for a wide variety of amplifier and switching applications. It features a maximum power dissipation of 500mW at ambient temperature and 1.8W at case temperature, with a maximum junction temperature of 175°C. The device is housed in a TO-18 metal can package (TO-206AA) with through-hole mounting, ensuring robust mechanical and thermal performance.

 

With its high voltage rating and moderate current capability, the 2N720A is well-suited for general-purpose amplification, signal switching, and driver circuits in industrial and consumer electronics. Its TO-18 package provides reliable heat dissipation and is compatible with standard through-hole PCB assembly processes.
