NTE215 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE215 is a silicon NPN Darlington transistor housed in a TO-3P package. It is suitable for applications such as motor drivers, printer hammer drivers, relay drivers, and regulated DC power supply controllers.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 100V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 8A. It boasts a high DC current gain (hFE) with a minimum of 1500 at 4A and 3V, and a typical current gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 20MHz. The transistor also offers a low collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of up to 1.5V at 4A and 8mA.

 

Absolute maximum ratings specify a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 110V and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 6V. The operating junction temperature (TJ) is rated up to 150°C, with a storage temperature range from -55°C to +150°C. Power dissipation is 2.5W at an ambient temperature of 25°C and 60W at a case temperature of 25°C.

 

This transistor is mounted using a through-hole method and comes in a TO-3P-3, SC-65-3 package.
