NTE2340 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE2340 is a silicon NPN bipolar junction transistor featuring a Darlington configuration, making it suitable for power amplifier and high-speed switching applications. It boasts a collector-emitter voltage rating of 60V and can handle a continuous collector current of 8A, with a peak current capability of 12A.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 2000 at 4A and 3V, and a collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 1.5V maximum at 8mA base current and 4A collector current. The transition frequency (fT) is 20MHz.

 

Thermal performance is supported by a collector power dissipation of 1.3W at ambient temperature and 45W at case temperature (+25°C). The operating junction temperature is rated up to 150°C.

 

This transistor is housed in a 3-SIP (Single In-line Package) and is designed for through-hole mounting. It also features a built-in 60V Zener diode between the collector and base for protection.
