The transistor amplifies currents up to 15 A and withstands voltages of up to 230 V between the collector and emitter. With a typical gain of 100, a relatively small base current can be used to drive larger loads.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePower dissipation can reach up to 150 W under operating conditions. Adequate cooling is therefore essential, especially under continuous load or at higher currents. The robust TO-3 metal package allows direct mounting on heat sinks. Without cooling, operating time or current loads should be significantly reduced to prevent overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe transistor is used in audio power amplifiers to drive speakers, in switching regulators for DC voltage conversion, and in high-frequency amplifiers. This type is also regularly used in older and modern DIY switching amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSuitable power supply is required for operation. The base drive requires a current source or voltage divider, depending on the circuit design. A series resistor at the base input limits the base current and prevents damage to the transistor. Consult detailed circuit documentation before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSafety note\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eReverse polarity or overcurrent can destroy the transistor immediately; significant heat is generated during operation, and contact with short-circuited contacts or hot components must be avoided. This component is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes. When working on circuits or if in doubt, consult a qualified electrician before commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIncluded in delivery\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e1x Transistor 2SC5200-O(Q)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Funduino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66045667311965,"sku":"F23105907","price":2.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/5649\/5965\/files\/transistor-2sc5200-oq-funduino-9654932.png?v=1791491108","url":"https:\/\/funduino.com\/en\/products\/2sc5200-transistor-oq","provider":"Funduino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
