The NTE172A is a silicon NPN Darlington transistor housed in a TO-92 package. It is specifically designed for preamplifier input stages that require high input impedances or extremely low-level, high-gain, low-noise amplification.
Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 40V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 300mA. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 7000 to 70000 at 2mA/5V and 20000 minimum at 100mA/5V. The transistor exhibits a collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 1.4V maximum at 200mA/200µA.
With an operating junction temperature range of -65°C to 125°C and a total power dissipation of 400mW at 25°C, the NTE172A is suitable for various applications. Its TO-92 package and through-hole mounting type make it easy to integrate into circuit designs.
This transistor is designed for applications requiring high gain and low noise, such as in preamplifier circuits. The Darlington configuration provides a significant current gain advantage.
