Additional Details:

The 2SC2480 is typically packaged in a power transistor package, such as a TO-220 or similar package designed for heat dissipation. Key electrical characteristics include collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO), collector current (IC), and power dissipation (PD). The transition frequency (fT) is a critical parameter indicating the transistor's ability to amplify high-frequency signals. Proper heatsinking is essential to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation. Always refer to the official Panasonic datasheet for precise specifications and recommended operating conditions.
