The 2SB888 is a silicon PNP epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by SANYO Semiconductor (U.S.A) Corporation. This transistor is designed for audio and general-purpose amplifier applications, offering a good balance of voltage, current, and power handling capability.
Applications:
- Audio amplifiers
- Switching circuits
- Motor drivers
- Relay drivers
- DC-DC converters
Features:
- High collector current (IC = -2A)
- Low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = -0.5V max)
- Complementary to 2SD1207
- High Power Dissipation (PC = 1.3 W)
- Good Linearity
Benefits:
- Efficient Power Amplification
- Effective Switching Performance
- Reduced Power Loss
- Improved Circuit Stability
- Simplified Circuit Design
Additional Details:
The 2SB888 is typically packaged in a TO-126 package. The Collector-Emitter Breakdown Voltage (VCEO) is -50V. The DC Current Gain (hFE) typically falls between 100 and 320. The operating temperature range is from -55°C to +150°C. Adequate heat sinking is important, especially when operating at high current levels, to prevent damage. The 2SD1207 is the complementary NPN transistor which allows it to be utilized in push-pull amplifier configurations for increased power and efficiency.
