NTE18 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE18 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 80V minimum and a continuous collector current rating of 700mA, with pulse capability up to 1A. The device provides a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 120 to 270 at VCE = 3V and IC = 100mA, ensuring consistent performance across varying loads.

 

With a transition frequency of 120MHz, the NTE18 is suitable for low to medium frequency circuits. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is typically 200mV at IC = 500mA and IB = 50mA, contributing to efficient switching. The transistor can dissipate up to 1W and operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to +135°C, making it robust for industrial environments.

 

The NTE18 is housed in a standard through-hole package, compatible with common PCB layouts. Its electrical characteristics make it a reliable choice for signal amplification, driver stages, and low-power switching applications.
