Product details
Overview
2SA1740E-TD-E from SANYO is a PNP epitaxial planar silicon transistor designed for high-voltage driver stages in horizontal deflection circuits of CRT displays. It features VCEO = −400 V, IC = −200 mA, PC = 1.3 W, hFE = 200–600 (rank E), and fT = 70 MHz at VCE = −30 V, IC = −10 mA.
For engineers reviewing the 2SA1740E-TD-E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include high-voltage blocking capability, linear hFE response for analog drive fidelity, switching speed (tON = 0.25 µs, tOFF = 0.5 µs), and ceramic-board thermal mounting compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-voltage PNP switch in flyback and line-output stages, where precise control of collector current under high reverse-biased VCB and VEB is critical. Its MBIT process ensures stable hFE linearity across IC, supporting accurate analog current sourcing in deflection yoke drivers.
The transistor supports fast switching with tON/tOFF ≤ 0.25/0.5 µs and exhibits low output capacitance (Cob = 5 pF at VCB = −30 V, f = 1 MHz), enabling efficient energy transfer in resonant horizontal scan circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −400 V: Withstands full CRT anode supply transients without breakdown in line-output stage. |
| IC | −200 mA continuous: Supports peak horizontal deflection coil current in 15–21″ CRT monitors. |
| PC | 1.3 W on ceramic board (250 mm² × 0.8 mm): Enables thermally robust operation without heatsink in compact TV chassis. |
| hFE | 200–600 (rank E): Provides tight DC current gain tolerance for consistent drive level across production units. |
| fT | 70 MHz at VCE = −30 V, IC = −10 mA: Ensures sufficient bandwidth for 15.734 kHz horizontal scanning with margin. |
| tON/tOFF | 0.25 µs / 0.5 µs: Minimizes switching loss and dead-time distortion in quasi-resonant flyback operation. |
| Cob | 5 pF at VCB = −30 V, f = 1 MHz: Reduces capacitive loading on driver IC and improves waveform fidelity. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-126 (SANYO PCP, bottom view). Mounting requires ceramic board (250 mm² × 0.8 mm) for rated power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter (E) | Current sink terminal | Connected to CRT deflection yoke return path; must handle −200 mA continuous with low saturation voltage. |
| Collector (C) | High-voltage output node | Directly interfaces with flyback transformer primary; rated for −400 V repetitive peak voltage. |
| Base (B) | Control input | Receives TTL/CMOS-compatible drive signal; requires 10 µA IBO test condition for leakage validation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High breakdown voltage | VCEO = −400 V enables direct interface with CRT EHT supplies up to 25 kV via step-up transformer. |
| MBIT process technology | Delivers hFE linearity ±5% over IC = −10 to −150 mA, critical for distortion-free horizontal sweep. |
| Low output capacitance | Cob = 5 pF minimizes ringing and EMI in high-dV/dt flyback transitions. |
| Fast switching performance | tON/tOFF ≤ 0.25/0.5 µs supports >100 kHz quasi-resonant operation in modernized deflection designs. |
Applications
| CRT Horizontal Deflection Stage | High-Voltage Flyback Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving the primary winding of a flyback transformer in 15–21″ color monitor horizontal output stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP switching transistor providing controlled current sink during scan retrace and energy transfer phase. Use Value: −400 V VCEO withstands flyback voltage spikes; 1.3 W power rating sustains duty-cycle thermal load without derating. | Use Scenario: Acting as main switch in high-voltage DC-DC converter supplying CRT anode voltage (EHT). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage PNP power switch synchronizing with horizontal sync pulse to regulate EHT generation. Use Value: 70 MHz fT ensures stable gain at switching frequencies beyond 100 kHz; low Cob reduces gate-drive burden on preceding driver. |
| Line-Output Amplifier | Analog Video Output Buffer |
Use Scenario: Linear amplification of sawtooth waveform for precision horizontal deflection current control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Class-A/B PNP emitter-follower delivering low-impedance drive to deflection yoke.

Use Value: −400 V VCEO provides headroom for transient suppression; 200–600 hFE rank E ensures predictable bias point stability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SA1837 | VCEO = −400 V, IC = −150 mA, PC = 1.0 W, hFE = 120–390 | Lower current/power rating; suitable only for smaller CRTs (<15″) or lower-duty-cycle flyback designs. | Select when thermal budget is constrained and peak IC remains below −150 mA. |
| BUW13A | VCEO = −450 V, IC = −3 A, PC = 50 W, TO-3 package | Higher power and ruggedness; requires heatsink and larger PCB footprint; over-specified for standard monitor use. | Choose only for industrial/high-reliability CRT systems requiring >100,000-hour MTBF and derated operation. |
Compared with 2SA1740E-TD-E, 2SA1837 offers reduced thermal capacity but tighter hFE spread, while BUW13A delivers superior ruggedness at the cost of layout complexity and cost-neither is pin-compatible, and both require board-level redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the 2SA1740E-TD-E?
The 2SA1740E-TD-E has a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating (VCEO) of −400 V at Ta = 25°C. This rating is validated under pulsed conditions with specified duty cycle and thermal mounting on a 250 mm² ceramic board. Exceeding this voltage-even momentarily-may cause irreversible avalanche breakdown. The 2SA1740E-TD-E must not be used in safety-critical systems such as life-support or aircraft controls.
How does the hFE rank 'E' affect performance of the 2SA1740E-TD-E?
The 'E' suffix in 2SA1740E-TD-E denotes hFE = 200–600 at VCE = −10 V and IC = −50 mA. This wider gain band supports flexible bias design in driver stages while maintaining linearity per MBIT process. Unlike rank 'D' (120–240), rank 'E' allows higher base resistance values and reduces sensitivity to temperature drift in the 2SA1740E-TD-E's operating range.
Can the 2SA1740E-TD-E be mounted on standard FR-4 PCB instead of ceramic?
No-the 2SA1740E-TD-E's 1.3 W power rating is specified only when mounted on a 250 mm² × 0.8 mm ceramic board. FR-4 has insufficient thermal conductivity; using it would cause junction temperature to exceed 150°C even at half-rated current. Derating curves are not provided for FR-4, so thermal failure of the 2SA1740E-TD-E is likely without ceramic mounting or external heatsinking.
What is the typical output capacitance (Cob) of the 2SA1740E-TD-E and why does it matter?
The 2SA1740E-TD-E exhibits Cob = 5 pF at VCB = −30 V and f = 1 MHz. This low value minimizes capacitive loading on upstream driver stages and reduces energy loss during high-dV/dt switching transitions in flyback circuits. In CRT horizontal output applications, low Cob directly improves waveform rise/fall time and suppresses parasitic oscillation-key reliability factors for the 2SA1740E-TD-E.
Is the 2SA1740E-TD-E still manufactured, and what is its obsolescence status?
The 2SA1740E-TD-E is no longer in active production by Panasonic (successor to SANYO), but Aetrix Electronics maintains traceable inventory of original SANYO-labeled units with full lot traceability. These are genuine, unused components sourced from sealed factory stock. Lifecycle support for the 2SA1740E-TD-E includes extended availability planning and cross-reference assistance for legacy system maintenance.
