Parameter Table

Instructions

1. Handling Precautions:

   • ESD Protection: The 2SC2873-Y is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use proper grounding and ESD protection equipment when handling the device.
   • Temperature: Avoid exposing the device to temperatures outside its operating range (-55°C to 150°C) to prevent damage.

2. Mounting:

   • Heat Sinking: For high-power applications, use a heat sink to dissipate heat effectively. Ensure good thermal contact between the transistor and the heat sink.
   • Mechanical Stress: Avoid applying excessive mechanical stress to the leads or the body of the transistor during soldering and mounting.

3. Soldering:

   • Temperature: Use a soldering iron with a temperature not exceeding 300°C.
   • Time: Limit the soldering time to 3 seconds per joint to avoid overheating the device.
   • Cooling: Allow the device to cool naturally after soldering. Do not use forced cooling methods that could cause thermal shock.

4. Biasing:

   • Base Resistor: Use an appropriate base resistor to limit the base current (I_B) and ensure the transistor operates within its safe operating area (SOA).
   • Collector Resistor: If necessary, use a collector resistor to limit the collector current (I_C) and protect the transistor from overcurrent conditions.

5. Testing:

   • Initial Testing: Before connecting the transistor to the final circuit, test it using a multimeter or a transistor tester to verify its functionality.
   • Final Testing: After assembly, perform a final test of the circuit to ensure the transistor is functioning correctly and all connections are secure.

6. Storage:

   • Humidity: Store the device in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Static Bag: Keep the device in an anti-static bag when not in use to protect it from ESD.

By following these parameters and instructions, you can ensure the reliable operation and longevity of the 2SC2873-Y transistor.
