Strobe Flash Applications
Unit: mm
Medium Power Amplifier Applications
• High DC current gain
: hFE (1) = 800 to 3200 (VCE = 2 V, IC = 0.5 A)
: hFE (2) = 250 (VCE = 2 V, IC = 4 A)
• Low collector saturation voltage
: VCE (sat) = 0.5 V (max) (IC = 4 A, IB = 40 mA)
• High power dissipation
: PC = 10 W (Tc = 25°C), PC = 1.0 W (Ta = 25°C)
