• Operating Junction Temperature (Tj): Up to 150°C
• Thermal Resistance (Junction to Ambient, RθJA): Depending on the package, typically around 150-250 °C/W.

Applications:

• Audio Amplifiers: Used in low-frequency amplification circuits.
• Switching Applications: Suitable for driving loads such as relays, small motors, and LED arrays.
• Signal Processing: Works effectively in analog signal processing applications.
• General Purpose: Ideal for a wide range of electronic circuits requiring reliable switching and amplification.

Important Notes:

• Polarity: Ensure proper connections; as a PNP transistor, it requires the emitter to be connected to a higher voltage than the collector.
• Biasing: Proper biasing is crucial for ensuring the transistor operates in the desired region (cut-off, active, or saturation).
• Heat Dissipation: When operating near its maximum ratings, consider heat dissipation methods such as heat sinks to manage temperature.
