NTE280 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE280 is a silicon NPN transistor from NTE Electronics, specifically designed for high power, high fidelity audio frequency amplifier applications. It comes in a TO-3 package, also known as TO-204AA, suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 140V and a continuous collector current rating of 12A. The transistor can dissipate up to 100W of power at 25°C case temperature. Its DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 40 to 140 at 2A collector current and 5V VCE. The saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is a maximum of 3V at 7A collector current and 700mA base current.

 

This device operates at junction temperatures up to 150°C and has a storage temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The current-gain bandwidth product (fT) is typically 5MHz at 2A collector current and 5V VCE. Output capacitance (Ccb) is typically 220pF at 1MHz.

 

Designed for robust performance in audio systems, the NTE280 provides the necessary power handling and voltage ratings for demanding amplifier circuits.
