NTE2306 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE2306 from NTE Electronics is a PNP silicon complementary transistor housed in a TO-3PN package. This device is engineered for demanding applications such as high power audio amplifiers and high voltage switching regulator circuits.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a high collector-emitter sustaining voltage of 160V and a continuous collector current rating of 16A. It offers a typical DC current gain (hFE) of 35 at 8A and a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 2V at 8A. The transistor can dissipate up to 125W of power at 25°C case temperature.

 

With an operating junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and a storage temperature range also from -65°C to +150°C, the NTE2306 is suitable for various environmental conditions. The TO-3PN package is designed for through-hole mounting, facilitating integration into circuit designs.

 

This transistor is well-suited for applications requiring robust power handling and high voltage capabilities. Its complementary nature with NPN transistors allows for versatile circuit designs in audio amplification and power supply regulation.
