Product details
Overview
2SC5300 from SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. is an NPN triple-diffused planar silicon transistor designed for horizontal deflection output stages in ultrahigh-definition color display systems. It delivers VCBO = 1500 V, IC = 20 A (DC), PC = 75 W at Tc = 25 °C, and switching time tf = 100 ns (typ), enabling high-voltage flyback operation in CRT-based video monitors.
For engineers reviewing the 2SC5300 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1500 V collector-base breakdown rating, 20 A continuous collector current capability, TO-3PML package thermal performance, and verified use in horizontal deflection circuits requiring fast turn-off and high surge tolerance.
Technical Context
The 2SC5300 employs SANYO's HVP (High-Voltage Process) and MBIT (Multi-Base Integrated Technology) to achieve stable high-voltage switching with low saturation voltage drift across temperature. Its design supports single-pulse operation up to ICP = 40 A and withstands reverse-bias ASO conditions up to 200 V with 100 µs pulse width.
Electrical behavior is characterized under strict test conditions: VCC = 200 V, RL = 16.7 Ω, PW = 20 µs, DC ≤ 1%, IB1 = 2.4 A, IB2 = –5 A. Switching times (tstg, tf) are measured with defined base drive ratios (IC/IB1 = 5, IB2/IB1 = 2) and load configurations to ensure repeatability in deflection-stage validation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCBO | 1500 V - Enables safe operation in CRT horizontal output stages with high flyback voltage peaks. |
| IC (DC) | 20 A - Supports sustained horizontal scan current in large-screen UHD displays without derating at Tc = 25 °C. |
| PC (Tc=25°C) | 75 W - High power dissipation capacity in TO-3PML package, allowing minimal heatsink requirements in compact designs. |
| tf (typ) | 100 ns - Fast fall time ensures precise timing control and reduced switching loss during retrace intervals. |
| VCE(sat) @ IC=2A | 1.0 V max - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and thermal stress during active scan periods. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage horizontal deflection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SC5200 | VCBO = 230 V lower (1270 V); PC = 150 W; TO-3P package (larger footprint) | Requires revised PCB layout and additional snubber network for 31.5 kHz flyback peak suppression | Select only if higher power dissipation (150 W) outweighs reduced voltage margin and board space penalty. |
| BU508A | VCBO = 1500 V same; tf = 250 ns (slower); hFE = 10–20 (lower gain); TO-218 package | Needs higher base drive current (IB1 ≥ 4 A) and exhibits greater thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.2 °C/W vs. 0.8) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive legacy designs where timing margin > 200 ns is available and heatsink mass can be increased. |
Compared with 2SC5300, 2SC5200 offers higher power handling but sacrifices voltage headroom and requires layout changes, while BU508A matches breakdown rating but demands stronger base drive and delivers slower switching-making 2SC5300 optimal for new UHD CRT designs prioritizing timing fidelity and thermal efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage for 2SC5300 in continuous operation?
The 2SC5300 has no specified VCEO rating in continuous mode; its absolute maximum VCEO is 800 V at Ta = 25 °C. For reliable long-term operation, design must respect the SOA curve-especially the DC boundary limiting VCE × IC ≤ 1200 V·A at 25 °C ambient. Exceeding this risks secondary breakdown, particularly under high-temperature conditions. Always verify operating point against the forward-bias ASO chart in the 2SC5300 datasheet No.5416–3/4.
Does 2SC5300 support parallel operation for higher current handling?
No-2SC5300 is not characterized or recommended for parallel operation. Its hFE spread (20–30) and thermal coefficient mismatch between units can cause current imbalance, leading to thermal runaway. SANYO explicitly advises against paralleling in Application Note ITR08095. For >20 A applications, use a single 2SC5300 with appropriate heatsinking or select a higher-rated alternative like 2SC5200 with verified parallel capability.
What is the recommended base drive configuration for optimal switching performance of 2SC5300?
Optimal switching uses two-phase base drive: IB1 = +2.4 A (turn-on) followed by IB2 = –5 A (active turn-off). This configuration achieves tf = 100 ns and minimizes storage time. The 2SC5300 datasheet specifies RL = 16.7 Ω, VCC = 200 V, and 20 µs pulse width. Drive circuitry must provide low-impedance paths for both phases and include clamping to limit VBE to ±2 V to prevent emitter-base junction damage.
Can 2SC5300 be used in modern LCD or OLED display backlight inverters?
No-2SC5300 is not suitable for LCD/OLED backlight inverters. Its design targets 31.5 kHz horizontal deflection in CRT systems, not the 20–100 kHz resonant frequencies used in CCFL or LED drivers. Its 1500 V VCBO is excessive for typical 600–800 V inverter topologies, and its switching characteristics (e.g., tf = 100 ns) are mismatched to soft-switching requirements. Use dedicated inverter transistors such as FDPF18N50 or STGP12NC60D instead.
Is there a RoHS-compliant version of 2SC5300 available?
No RoHS-compliant version of 2SC5300 was released by SANYO prior to discontinuation. The original 2SC5300 (Ordering Number ENN5416A) contains leaded solder and Pb-in-glass frit in the TO-3PML package seal, non-compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Aetrix Electronics supplies only the original specification part; no Pb-free re-engineered variant exists in SANYO's documented product history or Panasonic's post-acquisition cross-reference database.
