2SC5353 Transistor Explained / Description:

Today I am going to discuss a very interesting transistor, which has the part number 2SC5353. One of the best features of this transistor is its high voltage capability of up to 900V, which makes it ideal for a variety of high voltage applications. Other features of the transistor are fast switching times and low collector saturation voltage.

The transistor is designed to be used in switch mode power supplies and lighting applications. However, due to its good characteristics and specifications, it can also be used in a variety of other applications.

Looking at its absolute maximum ratings the collector-emitter voltage is 800V, collector current is 3A, collector-base voltage is 900V, base current is 1A, emitter-base voltage is 7V, collector power dissipation is 25W, junction temperature is 150°C and storage temperature range is from -55°C to 150°C.

How to Use This Transistor:

To use the transistor as a switch, the emitter pin will be connected with the ground or negative supply of the circuit, signal will be applied to the base pin through a suitable current limiting resistor and the load will be derived with its collector pin.

To use the transistor as an amplifier the signal that you want to amplify will be applied to its base pin through a suitable electrolytic capacitor, the emitter pin will be connected to the ground or negative supply of the circuit and the amplified output will be obtained at the collector pin. This is a very basic amplifier circuit using 2SC5353 transistor. To further enhance the circuit, some basic knowledge of electronics and amplifier circuits will be required.

Applications:

Audio Amplifier Circuits

Audio Amplifier Stages

Switching Circuits

High Speed DC to DC Converter Circuits

Power Supply Circuits

Safe Operating Guidelines:

Safe operating guidelines for the transistor.

• Do not use the transistor to its absolute maximum ratings and stay at least 20% below from the absolute maximum ratings.
• The maximum collector-emitter voltage is 800V but according to above 20% rule we will not drive load of more than 640V.
• The max collector current is 3A so same as above we will only use the 80% of the total available collector current which will be 2.4A.
• Storage and operating temperatures of the transistor should be between -55°C to 150°C.
