2SC3332 Transistor Explained / Description:
2SC3332 is a very interesting bipolar NPN transistor available in TO-92 package. It is designed to use in many general purpose applications. The transistor has lot of good features such as high breakdown voltage mean that the transistor can withstand on high voltage of upto 160V, excellent hFE performance, Wide SOA and highly resistant to breakdown, good collector current, Adoption of MBIT process, fast switching speed, etc.
Looking at the absolute maximum ratings of the transistor the collector to emitter voltage is 160V, collector current is 0.7A, collector to base voltage is 180V, emitter to base voltage is 6V, collector current in pulse is 1.5A, collector dissipation is 700mW, junction temperature is 150°C and storage temperature is -55°C to 150°C.
2SC3332 is a versatile transistor and can be used in wide variety of applications such as fast switching, audio preamplification, audio amplification, RF, etc.
The transistor is available in two different variations according to its DC current gain and can be identified with the help of the alphabet writer after the part number if that alphabet is “S” then the hFE will be 140 to 280 and if the alphabet is “T” then the hFE will be 200 to 400.
How to Use This Transistor:
2SC3332 is a Bipolar junction transistor therefore the using procedure is same as we us any other BJT by applying signal to its base, providing negative voltage to its emitter and taking output from its collector in amplifier circuits and driving load from collector in switching circuits.
Applications:
Audio amplifiers
Audio preamplifiers
Radio and RF Applications
Low Gain Signal Amplification
Fast Switching
Safe Operating Guidelines:
To safely operating the transistor always operate it at least 20% below from it absolute maximum ratings. Always check pin configuration before placing in a circuit and storage and operating temperature should be between -55°C to +150 °C.
