Builder Overview

The 2N5551ZL1G single transistor is fabricated using an advanced silicon NPN technology of collector-base breakdown voltage of around 300 V and Emitter-base breakdown voltage of over 6 V. It has a maximum collector current rating of 5 A, a power dissipation of 300 mW, and a maximum operating temperature range of 175°C. It also has a full-temperature range of about -65 to 175°C.

Working Principles

The 2N5551ZL1G single transistor works on the basic principles of transistor switching. When a small signal current is applied to the base of the transistor, it causes the collector-to-emitter current to either increase or decrease depending on the signal current applied. This action makes the transistor useful in amplifying, switching and signal processing applications.

The transistor is activated when the base-to-emitter voltage (VBE) reaches 0.7 V, at which point conduction begins in the collector-to-emitter section. The transistor then provides its maximum voltage gain, current gain and power gain after a certain point of its base-emitter voltage. The device also works well at lower frequencies due to its high input impedance.

Applications

Due to its wide range of features, the 2N5551ZL1G is used in a variety of portable communication gear, audio signaling and instrumentation control applications.
