Product details

Overview

2SC3600D from SANYO is an NPN epitaxial planar silicon transistor designed for high-frequency video output stages in ultrahigh-definition CRT displays and color TV chroma circuits. It delivers f_T = 400 MHz, V_CEO ≥ 200 V, C_re = 1.4 pF, I_C = −100 mA, and P_C = 1.2 W at T_c = 25°C.

For engineers reviewing the 2SC3600D datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include high-voltage switching capability, wide-band amplification performance, low reverse transfer capacitance, and TO-126 package thermal robustness in analog video signal paths.

Technical Context

The 2SC3600D operates as a high-speed NPN switching and amplification transistor with complementary pairing to 2SA1406 (PNP). Its FBET process enables stable f_T across collector current range (3–100 mA), while V_CEO ≥ 200 V supports CRT anode drive and chroma output swing requirements.

Designed for linear operation in video output stages, it exhibits low V_CE(sat) (≤ 0.5 V at I_C/I_B = 10) and minimal Cob (2.7 pF at V_CB = −30 V), ensuring fidelity in 10–50 MHz chroma and luminance signal bands without phase distortion.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
f_T	400 MHz typ - Enables stable amplification up to UHF video frequencies without gain roll-off.
V_CEO	≥ 200 V - Supports high-voltage CRT deflection and chroma output without breakdown.
C_re	1.4 pF at V_CB = −30 V - Minimizes feedback in wideband video amplifiers to prevent oscillation.
I_C	−100 mA max - Delivers sufficient drive current for video line output and chroma buffer stages.
P_C	1.2 W at T_c = 25°C - Allows continuous operation in thermally constrained CRT chassis with minimal heatsinking.
h_FE	40–120 at V_CE = −10 V, I_C = −10 mA - Provides predictable DC bias stability in emitter-follower video drivers.

Pinout & Package

SANYO TO-126 package: molded plastic case with metal tab (collector-connected), 3-pin vertical mounting, 2.7 mm lead pitch, 15.5 mm body length, and integral heat-dissipating flange.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1: Emitter	Current sink terminal	Connected to ground or low-impedance return path in common-emitter video amps.
2: Collector	Current source terminal	Internally bonded to metal tab; requires electrical isolation if mounted to heatsink.
3: Base	Control input terminal	Receives bias current to set operating point; sensitive to stray capacitance due to high f_T.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Ultrahigh f_T	400 MHz typical ensures flat frequency response through NTSC/PAL chroma band (3.58/4.43 MHz) and harmonics.
High V_CEO	≥ 200 V rating eliminates need for series voltage clamping in CRT anode driver interfaces.
Low C_re	1.4 pF reverse transfer capacitance reduces Miller effect, enabling stable >20 MHz small-signal gain.
FBET process	Optimized base-emitter junction design improves h_FE consistency and thermal stability over temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN high-voltage video transistor applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
2SC3600	No suffix - same die, unspecified h_FE binning; 2SC3600D is h_FE bin 'D' (80–120).	Same video output use; no functional change in circuit design.	Select 2SC3600D when guaranteed h_FE ≥ 80 is required for stable bias in production.
2SC3866	Higher f_T (600 MHz), lower V_CEO (160 V), TO-126 package, same pinout.	Better HF response but unsuitable for >160 V CRT anode drive; requires redesign for voltage margin.	Choose 2SC3866 only if system V_CE stays ≤ 150 V and bandwidth >300 MHz is critical.

Compared with 2SC3600 (unbinned) and 2SC3866 (higher f_T, lower V_CEO), the 2SC3600D provides verified h_FE consistency and full 200 V margin-making it optimal for volume-manufactured CRT video output where bias stability and safety margin are non-negotiable.

FAQ

What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the 2SC3600D?

The 2SC3600D has a guaranteed minimum V_CEO of 200 V at T_a = 25°C. This rating ensures safe operation in CRT video output stages where transient spikes and sustained high-voltage swings occur. Exceeding this voltage-even momentarily-may cause irreversible breakdown. The 2SC3600D must not be used in life-support or aircraft control systems per SANYO's safety disclaimer.

Does the 2SC3600D have a complementary PNP counterpart?

Yes, the 2SA1406 is the designated complementary PNP transistor for the 2SC3600D. Both share identical TO-126 packaging, matching voltage ratings (V_CEO ≥ 200 V), and symmetrical high-frequency performance (f_T ≈ 400 MHz). They are jointly specified in SANYO's ENN1765B documentation and intended for push-pull video output configurations.

What is the significance of the 'D' suffix in 2SC3600D?

The 'D' suffix denotes the h_FE bin classification: 2SC3600D is binned for DC current gain between 80 and 120 at V_CE = −10 V and I_C = −10 mA. This tighter specification ensures predictable bias point stability across production units, unlike the unbinned 2SC3600 which spans h_FE = 40–120.

Can the 2SC3600D be used in surface-mount designs?

No-the 2SC3600D is exclusively packaged in through-hole TO-126 format with leads designed for axial insertion and mechanical mounting via its metal tab. It lacks SMT-compatible variants (e.g., no SO-8 or SOT-223 version exists). Any attempt to adapt it to surface-mount assembly would compromise thermal performance and reliability.

What thermal derating applies to the 2SC3600D above 25°C case temperature?

The 2SC3600D's power dissipation derates linearly above T_c = 25°C: from 1.2 W at 25°C to zero at T_c = 150°C (junction limit). Derating slope is −12 mW/°C. For reliable operation at T_c = 75°C, maximum allowable P_C drops to 0.6 W. Thermal interface resistance and heatsink design must be validated per SANYO's No.1765-4/4 curves.
