Product details
Overview
2STC4467 from STMicroelectronics is a high-power NPN epitaxial planar bipolar transistor designed for linear audio amplifier stages, featuring VCEO = 120 V, IC = 8 A, PTOT = 80 W at Tc = 25 °C, fT = 20 MHz, and complementary pairing with 2STA1694. It employs BiT-LA technology to ensure gain linearity in Class AB output stages.
For engineers reviewing the 2STC4467 datasheet, 2STC4467 pinout, 2STC4467 application, or 2STC4467 equivalent, key selection criteria include safe operating area (SOA) at elevated case temperatures, DC current gain linearity across IC = 1–5 A, VCE(sat) ≤ 1.5 V at IC = 3 A / IB = 300 mA, and thermal resistance Rthj-case = 1.563 °C/W for heatsink-limited designs.
Technical Context
This NPN transistor operates as a linear output device in analog power amplification, with specified characterization up to Tcase = 125 °C and pulsed SOA validated per Figure 2. Its BiT-LA process ensures stable hFE (70–140 at IC = 3 A) and low distortion under dynamic load conditions.
The device uses TO-3P metal package with three terminals-collector (pin 1), base (pin 2), emitter (pin 3)-and supports fast-switching operation via fT = 20 MHz, while maintaining robust breakdown margins: VCBO = VCEO = 120 V, VEBO = 6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 120 V - Sustains full rail voltage in ±60 V audio supply topologies without breakdown |
| IC | 8 A continuous - Supports ≥50 W RMS output into 8 Ω loads with adequate heatsinking |
| PTOT | 80 W at Tc = 25 °C - Defines maximum steady-state power dissipation before thermal derating |
| fT | 20 MHz - Enables stable wideband feedback loop compensation up to ~1 MHz closed-loop bandwidth |
| Rthj-case | 1.563 °C/W - Determines junction-to-heatsink temperature rise; requires <1.2 °C/W heatsink for 150 °C max TJ |
| hFE | 70–140 at IC = 3 A - Provides predictable bias stability in emitter-follower or common-emitter driver stages |
| VCE(sat) | ≤1.5 V at IC = 3 A / IB = 300 mA - Limits conduction loss and thermal stress in quiescent and peak output conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-3P (isolated metal case, 3-terminal, through-hole). Dimensions per ST mechanical drawing: D ≈ 20.0 mm, E ≈ 15.6 mm, L ≈ 20.0 mm, e ≈ 5.45 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Collector) | Main current sink node | Electrically connected to metal case; must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to ground |
| 2 (Base) | Control input terminal | Receives drive current to modulate collector current; requires stable bias network for Class AB linearity |
| 3 (Emitter) | Current source reference node | Typically tied to output node or emitter degeneration resistor; defines local ground reference for output stage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiT-LA process technology | Optimized for gain linearity and low THD in analog audio output stages, not general-purpose switching |
| Complementary pairing | Matched performance with 2STA1694 (PNP) enables push-pull amplifier symmetry and reduced crossover distortion |
| High-temperature characterization | Fully specified at Tcase = 125 °C - Ensures design margin for enclosed or high-ambient enclosures |
| Fast-switching capability | fT = 20 MHz supports wideband compensation and transient response in feedback amplifiers |
Applications
| Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier Output Stage | Professional PA System Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Final output stage in discrete Class AB amplifier delivering 30–60 W into 4–8 Ω loads with <0.1% THD+N. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear NPN output transistor conducting continuous analog current; biased at ~100 mA quiescent current. Use Value: High VCEO and SOA enable safe operation at ±55 V rails; BiT-LA linearity preserves harmonic integrity. | Use Scenario: Driver stage in multi-channel 100 W/channel powered mixer with active thermal management. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power output device handling peak currents up to 12 A in short-duration program material. Use Value: ICM = 16 A and SOA curve support dynamic peaks without secondary breakdown; Rthj-case allows integration with forced-air heatsinks. |
| Studio Monitor Power Module | Active Subwoofer Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Dual-mono power section in near-field studio monitors requiring ultra-low noise and precise gain tracking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Matched NPN device in differential pair configuration with 2STA1694; operated in linear region with tight VBE tracking. Use Value: Tight hFE spread (70–140) and low ICBO (≤10 µA) minimize DC offset drift over temperature. | Use Scenario: Low-frequency output stage in sealed or ported subwoofer enclosures delivering 100+ W at 20–120 Hz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current, low-fT-sensitive device where voltage swing dominates over slew rate requirements. Use Value: VCEO = 120 V accommodates high-voltage rails needed for deep-bass headroom; rugged SOA prevents failure during bass transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN linear amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJE15030G | VCEO = 150 V, IC = 8 A, fT = 4 MHz, Rthj-case = 1.67 °C/W | Lower fT limits bandwidth; higher VCEO allows wider supply rails | Preferable for ultra-high-voltage (>±70 V) but lower-bandwidth designs |
| BDW83C | VCEO = 100 V, IC = 12 A, fT = 3 MHz, Rthj-case = 1.25 °C/W | Lower breakdown rating; higher current but poorer linearity and SOA at high VCE | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-critical audio where VCC ≤ ±45 V and THD <0.5% acceptable |
Compared with MJE15030G and BDW83C, the 2STC4467 offers superior fT-based bandwidth and BiT-LA–enhanced linearity for fidelity-critical audio, while balancing SOA robustness and thermal resistance for thermally constrained enclosures.

FAQ
Is the 2STC4467 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. Per ST's ECOPACK® documentation, the 2STC4467 is offered in RoHS-compliant, lead-free versions meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The TO-3P package uses matte tin plating on leads and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
What is the recommended heatsink interface for the 2STC4467 TO-3P package?
A mica washer (0.003–0.005 in thick) with silicone grease is recommended to electrically isolate the collector-connected case while maintaining thermal resistance below 0.5 °C/W. Mounting torque must not exceed 0.5 N·m to avoid package deformation.
Can the 2STC4467 be used in switching power supplies?
No. Though it exhibits fT = 20 MHz, its SOA and BiT-LA process are optimized for linear operation-not hard switching. Use dedicated switching transistors (e.g., ST's STD series) for SMPS due to secondary breakdown risk and lack of optimized storage time specs.
How does the 2STC4467's gain linearity compare to standard planar transistors?
BiT-LA processing reduces hFE variation across IC = 0.5–5 A by >40% versus conventional planar NPNs. Measured THD at 1 kHz/10 W is typically 0.03%, versus >0.1% for non-BiT-LA equivalents under identical bias and load conditions.
