2SC2240
TOSHIBA Transistor
Silicon NPN Epitaxial Type (PCT process)
2SC2240
Low Noise Audio Amplifier Applications
Unit: mm
The 2SC2240 is a transistor for low frequency and low noise
applications. This device is designed to lower noise figure in the region of
low signal source impedance, and to lower the pulse noise. This is
recommended for the first stages of Equalizer amplifiers.
Low noise: NF = 4dB (typ.) RG = 100 , VCE = 6 V, IC = 100 A,
f = 1 kHz
: NF = 0.5dB (typ.) RG = 1 k, VCE = 6 V, IC = 100 A,
f = 1 kHz
Low pulse noise: Low 1/f noise
High DC current gain: hFE = 200~700
High breakdown voltage: VCEO = 120 V

Note: Using continuously under heavy loads (e.g. the application of high temperature/current/voltage and the
significant change in temperature, etc.) may cause this product to decrease in the reliability significantly even
if the operating conditions (i.e. operating temperature/current/voltage, etc.) are within the absolute maximum
ratings.
Please design the appropriate reliability upon reviewing the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook
(Handling Precautions/Derating Concept and Methods) and individual reliability data (i.e. reliability test
report and estimated failure rate, etc).
