NTE254 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE254 is a silicon complementary PNP Darlington transistor housed in a TO126 type case. It is engineered for general-purpose amplifier and low-speed switching applications. This transistor features a high DC current gain, with a typical value of 2000 at IC = 2A. It is constructed monolithically with built-in base-emitter resistors to limit leakage multiplication.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 80V and a maximum collector current of 4A. The total power dissipation is rated at 40W at 25°C. The operating junction temperature range is from -65°C to +150°C.

 

The NTE254 is mounted via a through-hole method and comes in a TO-225AA, TO-126-3 package. Its robust design makes it suitable for various amplification and switching tasks in electronic circuits.
