2SB649 Transistor Explained / Description:
2SB649 is a high voltage PNP transistor designed to use as power amplifier in low frequency applications. Moreover the transistor’s collector to emitter voltage is upto -120V which makes it ideal to use in many high voltage applications. Looking at the other maximum ratings of the transistor the collector to base voltage is -180V, emitter to base voltage is -5V, collector current is -1.5A, peak collector current is -3A and collector power dissipation is 1W.
The electrical characteristics of the transistor are collector to emitter saturation voltage -1V, collector output capacitance is 27pF, transition frequency is 140MHz and DC current gain is 60 to 320.
The transistor is available in three different versions according to its hFE values and can be determined with the help of the alphabet written after the part number. If the letter is “B” then its hFE will be 60-120, if “C” then it will be 200-200, and if “D” then its hFE will be 160-320.
Where We Can Use it & How to Use:
D649 can be used in variety of L-F power amplifiers. But it can also be used in other applications like general purpose uses, RF circuits, switching, power supply, voltage amplifiers etc.
Applications:

Power Supplies
Radio and RF
General purpose
Power supply regulation
Safe Operating Guidelines:
Before operating this device it is important to understand what are the safe operating limits of the transistor. The max ratings of the transistor shown above are the maximum limits on which the transistor can last survive so it is always important to stay at least 20% below from these ratings.
- The max collector to emitter voltage is -120V so you should not drive load of more than -96V.
- The max collector current is -1.5A, therefore the derived load should be under -1.2A.
- Max emitter base voltage should not be more than -5V.
- Max power dissipation should not be more than 1W.
- A suitable heatsink is important to use.
- The storage and operating temperature of the transistor should be between -55°C to +150 °C.
