Additional Details

The 2SC3504 is typically used in a complementary pair configuration with a PNP transistor to create a push-pull amplifier stage. Its electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO), a collector current (IC), and a power dissipation (PC) rating, all of which must be considered when designing the amplifier circuit. The TO-220 package provides a good thermal path for dissipating heat, ensuring that the transistor operates within its safe operating area. Consult the device's datasheet for specific parameters, application circuits, and thermal considerations.
