- What the features mean
- PNP Type:This indicates a specific type of bipolar junction transistor (BJT) used for switching and amplification, particularly suited for negative voltage applications.
- TO-220 Package:This is a common, durable plastic package that facilitates through-hole mounting and allows for easy attachment to a heatsink to help dissipate heat.
- 6A and 100V:These are the maximum continuous operating values for collector current and collector-emitter voltage, respectively.
- 65W Power Dissipation:The maximum power the transistor can handle before overheating.
- hFE:The DC current gain, which indicates how much the collector current can be amplified by the base current.
- 3 MHz fT:The frequency at which the transistor's current gain drops to one.
