SILICON POWER TRANSISTOR

www.DataSheet4U.com 2SD2165
NPN SILICON EPITAXIAL TRANSISTOR
FOR LOW-FREQUENCY POWER AMPLIFIERS AND LOW-SPEED SWITCHING

The 2SD2165 is a single power transistor developed especially PACKAGE DRAWING (UNIT: mm)
for high hFE. This transistor is ideal for simplifying drive circuits and
10.0 ±0.3 4.5 ±0.2
reducing power dissipation because its hFE is as high as that of
φ 3.2 ±0.2 2.7 ±0.2
Darlington transistors, but it is a single transistor.
In addition, this transistor features a small resin-molded
insulation package, thus contributing to high-density mounting and

"Specific".
The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer-
designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of an NEC
Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of
each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots.
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support).
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.

The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC
Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications
not intended by NEC Electronics, they must contact an NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to
determine NEC Electronics' willingness to support a given application.
