DARLINGTON POWER TRANSISTOR

2SD2163

NPN SILICON EPITAXIAL TRANSISTOR (DARLINGTON CONNECTION)

FOR LOW-FREQUENCY POWER AMPLIFIERS AND

LOW-SPEED HIGH-CURRENT SWITCHING

DATA SHEET

2002

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)
