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)
