NTE2542 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE2542 is a PNP Darlington bipolar junction transistor (BJT) manufactured by NTE Electronics. This component is designed for applications requiring high current gain and power handling. It features a maximum voltage rating of 120V and can handle continuous currents up to 25A, with a power dissipation of 120W.

 

The transistor offers a high DC current gain (hFE) of 2000 at 12A and 4V, indicating significant amplification capabilities. The saturation voltage (Vce Sat) is a maximum of 1.8V at 24mA and 12A. It operates at temperatures up to 150°C (TJ).

 

Designed for through-hole mounting, the NTE2542 comes in a TO-3P package, also referred to as SC-65-3. This packaging is suitable for applications where robust thermal management and secure mounting are necessary. The component is listed with a RoHS3 Compliant status, MSL 1 Unlimited, and REACH Unaffected, though these compliance details are unverified.

 

This transistor is suitable for various power switching and amplification tasks in electronic circuits where high gain and current handling are critical.
