2SA2151A

Description

By adapting the Sanken unique wafer-thinner technique, these

PNP power transistors achieve power-up by decreasing thermal

resistance, and provide higher voltage avalanche breakdown

rating. The high power-handling capacity of the TO-3P package

allows a smaller footprint on the circuit board design. This

series of transistors is very well suited to not only multichannel

applications for AV (audio-visual) amplifiers and receivers,

but also parallel connection applications for PA (professional

audio system) amplifiers.

Applications include the following:

▪ Single transistors for audio amplifiers

▪ Home audio amplifiers

▪ Professional audio amplifiers

▪ Automobile audio amplifiers

▪ Audio market

▪ Single transistors for general purpose

Features and Benefits

▪ Small package (TO-3P)

▪ High power handling capacity, 160 W

▪ Improved sound output by reduced on-chip impedance

▪ For professional audio (PA) applications, VCEO = –230 V

versions available

▪ Complementary to 2SC6011A

▪ Recommended output driver: 2SA1668A

Because reliability can be affected adversely by improper storage

environments and handling methods, please observe the following

cautions.

Cautions for Storage

• Ensure that storage conditions comply with the standard

temperature (5°C to 35°C) and the standard relative humidity

(around 40 to 75%); avoid storage locations that experience

extreme changes in temperature or humidity.

• Avoid locations where dust or harmful gases are present and

avoid direct sunlight.

• Reinspect for rust on leads and solderability of products that have

been stored for a long time.

Cautions for Testing and Handling

When tests are carried out during inspection testing and other

standard test periods, protect the products from power surges

from the testing device, shorts between adjacent products, and

shorts to the heatsink.

Remarks About Using Silicone Grease with a Heatsink

• When silicone grease is used in mounting this product on a

heatsink, it shall be applied evenly and thinly. If more silicone

grease than required is applied, it may produce stress.

• Coat the back surface of the product and both surfaces of the

insulating plate to improve heat transfer between the product and

the heatsink.

• Volatile-type silicone greases may permeate the product and

produce cracks after long periods of time, resulting in reduced

heat radiation effect, and possibly shortening the lifetime of the

product.

• Our recommended silicone greases for heat radiation purposes,

which will not cause any adverse effect on the product life, are

indicated below:

Type Suppliers

G746 Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.

YG6260 GE Toshiba Silicone Co., Ltd.

SC102 Dow Corning Toray Silicone Co., Ltd.

Heatsink Mounting Method

• Torque When Tightening Mounting Screws. Thermal resistance

increases when tightening torque is low, and radiation effects are

decreased. When the torque is too high, the screw can strip, the

heatsink can be deformed, and distortion can arise in the product frame.

To avoid these problems, observe the recommended tightening torques

for this product package type, TO-3P (MT-100): 0.686 to 0.882 N•m (7

to 9 kgf•cm).

• Diameter of Heatsink Hole: < 4 mm. The deﬂ ection of the press mold

when making the hole may cause the case material to crack at the joint

with the heatsink. Please pay special attention for this effect.

Soldering

• When soldering the products, please be sure to minimize the

working time, within the following limits:

260±5°C 10 s

350±5°C 3 s

• Soldering iron should be at a distance of at least 1.5 mm from the

body of the products

Electrostatic Discharge

• When handling the products, operator must be grounded.

Grounded wrist straps worn should have at least 1 MΩ of

resistance to ground to prevent shock hazard.

• Workbenches where the products are handled should be

grounded and be provided with conductive table and floor mats.

• When using measuring equipment such as a curve tracer, the

equipment should be grounded.

• When soldering the products, the head of soldering irons or the

solder bath must be grounded in other to prevent leak voltages

generated by them from being applied to the products.

• The products should always be stored and transported in our

shipping containers or conductive containers, or be wrapped in

aluminum foil.

WARNING — These devices are designed to be operated at lethal voltages and energy levels. Circuit designs

that embody these components must conform with applicable safety requirements. Pre cau tions must be

taken to prevent accidental contact with power-line potentials. Do not connect ground ed test equipment.

The use of an isolation transformer is recommended during circuit development and breadboarding.
