2SC4518A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2SC4518A is a silicon NPN triple diffused planar transistor designed for high voltage switching applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 550V and a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 1000V, with a continuous collector current rating of 5A (10A pulse). The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 10 to 25 at Vce=4V and Ic=1.8A, and the saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is typically 0.5V at Ib=360mA and Ic=1.8A.

 

This transistor offers fast switching performance with a turn-on time of 0.7µs, storage time of 4µs, and fall time of 0.5µs under specified test conditions. The transition frequency (fT) is 6MHz, making it suitable for switching regulator and inverter circuits. The device is housed in a TO-220-3 Full Pack (TO220F) through-hole package, which provides electrical isolation and easy mounting.

 

The 2SC4518A is RoHS3 compliant and designed for general purpose high voltage switching, including switching power supplies and lighting inverters. Its robust thermal characteristics allow a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and power dissipation of 35W at Tc=25°C.
