🧪 Typical Applications

• Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)
• Flyback and forward converters
• CRT and TV power sections
• DC-AC inverters
• High-voltage, high-speed switching

✅ Features

• High voltage withstand (up to 700V VCBO)
• High collector current (8A continuous)
• Fast switching speeds (~4MHz fT)
• Low saturation voltage
• Economical and widely available

⚠️ Design Tips

• Needs proper heatsinking to manage power dissipation
• Drive the base with adequate current to ensure full saturation during switching
• Use snubber networks to suppress voltage spikes across collector-emitter during flyback switching
• For efficient switching, avoid using this in linear amplifier configurations
