DARLINGTON POWER TRANSISTOR
2SD2163
NPN SILICON EPITAXIAL TRANSISTOR (DARLINGTON CONNECTION)
FOR LOW-FREQUENCY POWER AMPLIFIERS AND
LOW-SPEED HIGH-CURRENT SWITCHING
PACKAGE DRAWING (UNIT: mm)
The 2SD2163 is a mold power transistor developed for low-
speed high-current switching. This transistor is ideal for direct
driving from the IC output of devices such as pulse motor drivers
and relay drivers of PC terminals.
FEATURES
• Mold package that does not require an insulating board or
insulation bushing
• High DC current gain due to Darlington connection
hFE = 1,000 MIN. (@IC = 10 A)
• Low collector saturation voltage:
VCE(sat) = 1.5 V MAX. (@IC = 10 A)
