The Best Guide to 2SC5200 Transistor

5/2/2023

2SC5200 is a popular NPN Power transistor used in Audio frequency amplifiers and High power audio circuits. It is called a Power transistor due to its high Collector to Emitter breakdown voltage of 230V, the high collector current of 15A, and high current gain of 160.

 

 

2SC5200 transistor Overview

 

The 2SC5200 transistor is an NPN-structure device with new BiT-LA technology. It is recommended for use in the output stages of VLF. It features high power dissipation (150W), high collector current (up to 15A), and edge frequency (up to 30MHz).

2SC5200 Transistor was originally manufactured by TOSHIBA in JAPAN and is now obsolete due to the development of a similar but cheaper TTC5200 Transistor. Some companies(except Toshiba) still manufacture 2SC5200 and you can easily find it on the internet.

 Where to use the 2SC5200 Transistor

 

The 2SC5200 is a high-power NPN transistor originally from Toshiba. Due to its high current gain and collector current, it is very commonly used in ‘High power audio circuits or AF amplifiers. But now the Transistor is absolutely from Toshiba and it has been replaced with TTA5200, but still the good old 2SA5200 can still be found in the market since it is still being cloned by other manufacturers in China.

 

 How to use 2SC5200?

 

The 2SC5200 and its sibling, the 2SA1943, are mostly utilized in amplifier designs. Most amplifiers use a push-pull circuit resembling a Class B amplifier, which necessitates the use of both NPN and PNP transistors. The 2SA1943 is a PNP transistor, while the 2SE5200, an NPN transistor, is its complementary device. High-power amplifiers frequently combine the use of both of these transistors.

Transistors are always used in conjunction with a heat sink since they tend to heat up quickly due to their high switching frequency and high collector current. The heat sink should be isolated from the rest of the circuit because it will double as the transistor's collector pin.

These transistors, which can respond to frequencies between 5Hz and 100kHz and have a very good sensitivity of 0.75Vrms, are frequently employed to create stereo systems with a power rating of 200W or higher. It is perfect for audio applications since it has a very low signal-to-noise ratio and minimal overall harmonic distortion.

 

 Applications

 

2SC5200 is commonly used to build stereo systems, which have a power rating of 200W or greater. These transistors can respond to frequencies from 5Hz-100kHz with a very high sensitivity of 0.75Vrms and have less total harmonic distortion making them ideal for audio applications.

  • Audio frequency Amplifier
  • AF /RF circuits
  • Low Slew rate devices
  • Push-Pull configuration circuits
  • high current switching (upto 15A) loads
  • Can be used as medium Power switches

 XIII 2sc5200 inverter circuit

 

Figure6-2sc5200 inverter circuit

 

The 2SC5200 inverter circuit is seen in miniature in the image. It comprises two 2SC5200 transistors, a step-up transformer, and a battery. The power switching function of the 2SC5200 transistor converts the DC signal to AC when it reaches the two transistor networks. However, the voltage level is insufficient for supply, so the step-up transformer raises the voltage level to 230v.

 

 

 

XIV How to Safely Long Run in a Circuit

 

Use it at least 20% below its maximum ratings for long-lasting performance, as we always advise. Drive no more than 12A of load, as the transistor's maximum collector current is 15A, and no more than 180V of load, as the transistor's maximum collector-to-emitter voltage is 230V. Given that it is a high-power transistor with a heatsink connection, it is essential to use a suitable heatsink. It is crucial to take care that the heatsink does not come into contact with any circuit connections because the transistor's collector is also connected to the heatsink connection.

The minimum to maximum storage and operating temperature of the transistor ranges from -55 degrees centigrade to +150 degrees centigrade. For good and long-term performance of the transistor, the temperature around the transistor should not touch these minimum and maximum limits.
