Product details
Overview
2SC4634LS from SANYO is an NPN triple diffused planar silicon transistor designed for high-voltage amplifier and switching applications, featuring VCEO = 1500 V, IC = 10 mA, Cob = 1.5 pF (typ), fT = 6 MHz, and full-isolation TO-220FI(LS) packaging - used in flyback converters and CRT horizontal deflection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC4634LS datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include high-voltage blocking capability, low output capacitance for fast switching, thermal resistance of 12.5°C/W, and verified operation up to 150°C junction temperature in isolated power stage designs.
Technical Context
This device employs a triple diffused planar structure with HVP (High-Voltage Process) for enhanced reliability and stable breakdown performance. Its full-isolation TO-220FI(LS) package electrically isolates the collector tab from the mounting surface, enabling direct heatsink attachment without insulation washers in high-side switch configurations.
The 2SC4634LS delivers DC current gain (hFE) of 10–60 at VCE = 5 V and IC = 200 µA, with VCE(sat) ≤ 5 V at IC = 500 µA / IB = 100 µA, supporting linear amplification and pulse-switching roles in high-impedance, low-current HV nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 1500 V - supports primary-side switching in offline SMPS up to 1 kV AC input-derived rails |
| Cob | 1.5 pF (typ @ VCB = 100 V) - minimizes Miller feedback for improved switching speed & stability |
| fT | 6 MHz - enables usable small-signal amplification up to mid-RF range in HV preamp stages |
| Rthj-c | 12.5 °C/W - allows 2 W dissipation with ≤25°C case-to-ambient rise when mounted on standard heatsink |
| hFE | 10–60 - provides predictable base drive requirements for gate-driving or feedback-loop transistors |
| Tj max | 150 °C - ensures operational margin in enclosed, convection-cooled HV power supplies |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220FI(LS) - full-isolation variant of TO-220 with insulated collector tab; 16.1 mm × 14.0 mm × 3.6 mm body; screw-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Control electrode | Receives low-current drive signal; requires current-limiting resistor due to VBE(sat) = 2 V @ IC = 500 µA |
| 2 (Collector) | High-voltage output node | Electrically isolated tab - may be directly bolted to heatsink without insulator |
| 3 (Emitter) | Reference/return path | Connected to ground or low-side return; defines common reference for VCE and VBE biasing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full-isolation package | TO-220FI(LS) eliminates need for mica washer or silicone pad in heatsink mounting |
| HVP process technology | Enables consistent 1500 V breakdown across production lots with <1 µA leakage at rated voltage |
| Low Cob (1.5 pF) | Reduces switching losses and improves stability in high-gain HV amplifier feedback networks |
| High VCEO/VCBO | Rated for continuous 1500 V operation - suitable for 800 V DC bus + 30% surge margin in industrial converters |
Applications
| Flyback Converter Primary Switch | CRT Horizontal Deflection Output |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-voltage switching in offline AC/DC power supplies with 600–900 V DC link. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NPN switching transistor operating in hard-switched or quasi-resonant mode. Use Value: 1500 V VCEO rating accommodates reflected flyback spikes and line surges without clamping. | Use Scenario: Horizontal output stage driving CRT yoke with high-voltage retrace pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-to-switching transition amplifier handling 15–20 kHz sawtooth waveforms. Use Value: Low Cob minimizes phase shift in high-frequency sweep timing; full isolation prevents yoke ground loop noise. |
| Photocoupler Driver Stage | High-Voltage Signal Amplifier |
Use Scenario: Driving optocoupler LED in isolated feedback paths of medical or industrial PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-source driver providing precise 5–10 mA LED current under HV bias. Use Value: Stable hFE and low ICBO (<1 µA) ensure accurate current mirroring across temperature. | Use Scenario: Amplifying sensor signals referenced to high-voltage rails (e.g., current sense in HV bus). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-emitter preamplifier with emitter degeneration for linearity. Use Value: 6 MHz fT supports bandwidth up to ~500 kHz with controlled gain; 150°C Tj rating enables board-level integration near heat sources. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NPN switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SC4027 | VCEO = 1200 V, Cob = 2.0 pF, TO-220FI package | Lower voltage rating limits use in >1 kV DC bus designs | Select when 1200 V margin suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs 300 V headroom |
| 2SC4762 | VCEO = 1500 V, IC = 15 mA, Cob = 1.8 pF, TO-220F | Non-isolated collector tab requires insulation kit; higher IC supports heavier loads | Choose for higher current drive where thermal design permits added isolation hardware |
Compared with 2SC4634LS, the 2SC4027 offers lower cost but reduced voltage margin, while the 2SC4762 trades full isolation for higher current capability - both require layout review for thermal and isolation compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for the 2SC4634LS?
The 2SC4634LS has a guaranteed minimum collector-to-emitter breakdown voltage V(BR)CEO of 1500 V at IC = 100 µA with RBE = ∞. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A115 and applies under continuous DC conditions at Ta = 25°C. Derating is required above 25°C ambient per the PC–Ta curve in the datasheet.
Does the 2SC4634LS have an electrically isolated collector tab?
Yes, the 2SC4634LS uses the TO-220FI(LS) package, where "FI" denotes full isolation - the collector metal tab is insulated from the internal die mounting surface. This allows direct mechanical attachment to a grounded heatsink without additional insulating hardware, reducing thermal resistance and assembly complexity.
What is the typical output capacitance (Cob) of the 2SC4634LS and at what condition is it measured?
The typical output capacitance Cob of the 2SC4634LS is 1.5 pF, measured at VCB = 100 V and f = 1 MHz. This low value contributes to reduced Miller effect and faster switching transitions, especially important in high-frequency HV amplifier and switching applications.
Can the 2SC4634LS be used in linear amplifier configurations?
Yes, the 2SC4634LS supports linear operation with hFE = 10–60 at VCE = 5 V and IC = 200 µA, and VCE(sat) ≤ 5 V at low currents. Its 6 MHz fT and low Cob enable stable small-signal amplification up to several hundred kHz, provided thermal limits (Tj ≤ 150°C, PC ≤ 2 W) are observed.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (Rthj-c) for the 2SC4634LS?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance Rthj-c of the 2SC4634LS is 12.5°C/W, measured under standard mounting conditions with the TO-220FI(LS) package attached to a flat, clean heatsink surface. This value assumes no thermal interface material unless specified; actual system Rthj-a depends on heatsink size, airflow, and mounting pressure.
