NTE185 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE185 is a PNP silicon complementary transistor manufactured by NTE Electronics, designed for applications in power amplifier and switching circuits. It is housed in a TO-126 plastic package, also referred to as TO-225AA or TO-126-3, and is suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

This transistor offers a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 80V and a maximum collector current (IC) of 4A. Its DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 20 at 1.5A and 2V, and a minimum of 7 at 4A and 2V. The saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is a maximum of 0.6V at 1.5A/0.15A and 1.4V at 4A/1A. The frequency response is characterized by a current gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 2MHz minimum at 1A/10V.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a base current (IB) up to 1A and an emitter-base voltage (VEB) of 5V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and has a total power dissipation of 40W at 25°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) is 3.12°C/W.

 

This transistor is designed with excellent safe area limits, making it robust for power applications. Its complementary nature with NPN transistors allows for versatile circuit designs.
