NTE379 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The NTE379 is a silicon NPN transistor manufactured by NTE Electronics, designed for high-voltage, high-speed power switching in inductive circuits where fall time is critical. This device is suitable for 115V and 220V switch-mode applications, including switching regulators, inverters, motor controls, solenoid/relay drivers, and deflection circuits.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO(sus)) of 400V and a continuous collector current of 12A. It also features a peak collector current of 24A. The transistor operates with a DC current gain (hFE) of 8 minimum at 5A collector current and 5V collector-emitter voltage. The Vce saturation is a maximum of 3V at 3A base current and 12A collector current. Its frequency capability is up to 4MHz.

 

With a maximum power dissipation of 2W at an ambient temperature of 25°C and 100W at a case temperature of 25°C, the NTE379 is designed for robust performance. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.25°C/W, and from junction to ambient is 62.5°C/W.

 

The NTE379 is housed in a TO-220-3 package and utilizes through-hole mounting. Its operating temperature range is -65°C to +150°C.
