2N6292 Transistor Explained / Description:
2N6292 is a general purpose NPN transistor designed to be used in general type of switching and amplifier applications. It is available in TO-220 package. The pin layout of the transistor is as follows: The first pin is base, second pin is collector that is also internally connected with the mounting base of the transistor.
2N6292 is a transistor of a series which also contains other transistors such as 2N6288 and 2N6292.
Looking at the absolute maximum ratings of the transistor, the collector-emitter voltage is 70V, collector current is 7A, collector-base voltage is 80V, emitter-base voltage is 5V, base current is 3A, total power dissipation is 40W, junction temperature is 150°C and storage temperature is from -65°C to 150°C.
How to Use This Transistor:
As mentioned above this transistor can be used as a switch or amplifier. To use it as a switch connect its emitter pin with the negative rail of the circuit, apply signal to its base pin through a suitable current limiting resistor and connect the load between the collector pin and the positive rail of the circuit.
Now to use it as an amplifier it is important to understand the there are many types of amplifier circuits and building an amplifier circuit is not as simple as building a switch circuit. But to understand how the amplifier circuit works here is a simple amplifier circuit that you have mostly seen at the output of door bells and musical toys. To make the circuit connect its emitter pin with the negative rail of the circuit, apply audio signals to its base through a suitable electrolytic capacitor and connect the speaker between collector and the positive rail of the circuit
Applications:
Audio Amplifiers
Audio Amps Driver Stages
Motor Driver Circuits
Power Supply Circuits
Switching applications
Variety of General Other Purpose Applications
Safe Operating Guidelines:
Follow these guidelines to safely operate the transistor:
- To safely operating the transistor always operate it at least 20% below from its absolute maximum ratings.
- The maximum collector-emitter voltage is 80V but by following the above rule we will not drive load of more than 64V.
- Maximum collector current is 7A but we will not use more than 6.4A.
- Operating and storage temperature should be from -65°C to 150°C.
