Product details
Overview
2SC4474E from SANYO is an NPN epitaxial planar silicon transistor designed for high-frequency video output stages in CRT displays, featuring fT = 300 MHz, VCEO = −200 V (min), IC = −200 mA, PC = 1.8 W, and Cre = 2.2 pF at VCB = −30 V, f = 1 MHz.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC4474E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include high-voltage video amplification capability, low reverse transfer capacitance for wide-band stability, and TO-220ML package thermal performance in CRT deflection and RGB driver circuits.
Technical Context
The 2SC4474E operates as a high-voltage, high-fT NPN switching/amplifier transistor optimized for CRT video output stages. Its FBET process enables low Cre (2.2 pF) and high breakdown (VCEO ≥ −200 V), supporting stable wideband amplification up to 30 MHz without peaking or oscillation.
It is paired with complementary PNP 2SA1697 in push-pull configurations. Thermal design leverages the micaless TO-220ML package (junction-to-case RθJC ≈ 3.5°C/W), enabling continuous operation at Tj ≤ 150°C with appropriate heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| fT | 300 MHz - Enables stable wideband video amplification up to ~30 MHz with minimal phase shift. |
| VCEO | −200 V (min) - Supports high-voltage CRT anode drive and deflection yoke interface without breakdown. |
| Cre | 2.2 pF @ VCB = −30 V, f = 1 MHz - Low reverse transfer capacitance improves high-frequency stability and reduces Miller effect. |
| IC | −200 mA (DC) - Sustains peak video current in RGB output drivers and linearity-critical analog stages. |
| PC | 1.8 W @ Tc = 25°C - Delivers sufficient power for Class-A/B video output with TO-220ML heatsink interface. |
| hFE | 20–120 @ IC = −10 mA, VCE = −10 V - Provides predictable DC gain for biasing in fixed-gain video amplifier topologies. |
Pinout & Package
2SC4474E is housed in a micaless TO-220ML package (SANYO designation), featuring a metal tab electrically connected to the collector and optimized for direct heatsink mounting without insulating washers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main current sink / heatsink interface | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires isolated mounting only if circuit ground reference differs from heatsink potential. |
| Base | Control input for current amplification | Low-impedance drive point; requires series resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) to limit base current during fast switching. |
| Emitter | Current return path / reference node | Common emitter configuration used in most video output stages; often tied to cathode or ground-return trace with low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High fT (300 MHz) | Enables flat frequency response across NTSC/PAL video bandwidth (4.2–5.5 MHz) with margin for transient fidelity. |
| VCEO ≥ −200 V | Supports direct interface to CRT anode supplies (150–180 V) and flyback-derived high-voltage rails without derating. |
| Cre = 2.2 pF | Reduces feedback-induced instability in high-gain video amplifiers; eliminates need for neutralization capacitors in many designs. |
| FBET process | Delivers consistent hFE distribution and tight parameter spread across production lots for batch-sensitive video calibration. |
Applications
| RGB Video Output Stage | Horizontal Deflection Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying decoded red/green/blue signals prior to CRT cathode drive in HD CRT monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage NPN current amplifier operating in Class-A/B with ±15 V supply and 100 Ω load. Use Value: High VCEO prevents breakdown during sync pulse transients; low Cre preserves color edge sharpness above 3 MHz. | Use Scenario: Driving horizontal deflection yoke in 100 kHz+ scanning systems with flyback voltage recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Switching transistor in quasi-resonant or linear sweep generator topology. Use Value: 200 V rating accommodates flyback spikes up to 180 V; 1.8 W dissipation supports 10% duty-cycle pulsed operation. |
| Video Sync Separator Amp | Legacy Broadcast Modulator Stage |
Use Scenario: Amplifying composite sync pulses extracted from broadcast video signals before distribution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching NPN buffer with <10 ns rise time and minimal overshoot. Use Value: 300 MHz fT ensures sub-5 ns propagation delay; low Cre avoids pulse rounding at 15.734 kHz repetition. | Use Scenario: RF modulation stage in analog TV transmitter test equipment using 40–80 MHz IF carriers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power RF amplifier biased for Class-C operation with tuned collector load. Use Value: High fT and low Cre support stable gain up to 80 MHz; TO-220ML package allows forced-air cooling in bench units. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN high-voltage video amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SC3854 | VCEO = −160 V (lower), fT = 250 MHz, Cre = 2.5 pF | Marginally lower voltage headroom; may require derating in >160 V CRT anode interfaces. | Acceptable where VCEO derating to 120 V is acceptable and thermal budget permits slightly higher Cre. |
| BU2520A | VCEO = −200 V, fT = 200 MHz, Cre = 3.0 pF, TO-220F package (insulated tab) | Lower fT and higher Cre; insulated tab adds thermal resistance but simplifies mounting. | Preferred when electrical isolation from heatsink is mandatory, accepting reduced bandwidth and stability margin. |
Compared with 2SC4474E, 2SC3854 offers lower cost but reduced voltage safety margin, while BU2520A trades bandwidth and capacitance performance for electrical isolation-making 2SC4474E optimal for high-fidelity, high-voltage CRT video output where thermal and RF stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the 2SC4474E?
The 2SC4474E has a minimum VCEO rating of −200 V at Ta = 25°C. This rating applies under DC or pulsed conditions with IC ≤ −200 mA and junction temperature maintained at or below 150°C. Exceeding this voltage-even momentarily-may cause irreversible avalanche failure. Derating is required above 25°C ambient per the datasheet's thermal curves.
Does the 2SC4474E have a built-in base-emitter resistor?
No, the 2SC4474E is a standard three-terminal NPN bipolar junction transistor with no internal base-emitter resistor. It requires external biasing components-including base series resistance and emitter stabilization-to establish proper DC operating point and prevent thermal runaway in linear applications such as video amplifiers.
Is the metal tab on the 2SC4474E electrically connected to any internal terminal?
Yes, the metal tab of the 2SC4474E is internally connected to the collector terminal. This is confirmed by SANYO's TO-220ML package specification and pinout diagrams. When mounted to a heatsink, the collector potential must be referenced accordingly-electrical isolation is required if the heatsink is grounded or at a different potential.
What is the typical transition frequency (fT) measurement condition for the 2SC4474E?
The specified fT = 300 MHz for the 2SC4474E is measured at VCE = −3 V, IC = −50 mA, and Tc = 50°C, per SANYO's EN3018 datasheet. This condition reflects real-world video output stage biasing and confirms usable bandwidth well beyond NTSC/PAL luminance requirements.
Can the 2SC4474E replace the 2SC4027 in existing CRT video amplifier designs?
The 2SC4474E is not a direct replacement for the 2SC4027 due to differences in VCEO (−200 V vs. −120 V), fT (300 MHz vs. 180 MHz), and Cre (2.2 pF vs. 3.5 pF). While it may function in some 2SC4027 circuits, redesign verification is required-especially for voltage margin, stability compensation, and thermal management-because the 2SC4474E's higher performance alters loop dynamics and dissipation profiles.
