NTE2556 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE2556 is a Silicon NPN Transistor from NTE Electronics, specifically designed as a Darlington configuration for motor and relay driver applications. It offers high DC current gain, a wide ASO range, and high current capacity, making it suitable for demanding tasks.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a Collector Emitter Voltage (VCEO) of 100V and a continuous Collector Current (IC) of 8A, with a peak capability of 12A. The device boasts a high DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 1500 to 4000 at 4A. Saturation voltages are kept low, with VCE(sat) typically 0.9V and VBE(sat) typically up to 2.0V under specified test conditions.

 

This transistor is housed in a TO-220 package, suitable for through-hole mounting. Its thermal capabilities include a maximum power dissipation of 40W at 25°C case temperature. The operating junction temperature can reach up to 150°C, with a storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

 

Applications for the NTE2556 include motor drivers, printer hammer drivers, relay drivers, and voltage regulator control, where its robust performance and high gain are beneficial.
