Philips Semiconductors Objective specification
Silicon Diffused Power Transistor BU4525AL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Enhanced performance, new generation, high-voltage, high-speed switching npn transistor in a plastic full-pack
envelope intended for use in horizontal deflection circuits of colour television receivers an p.c monitors. Features
exceptional tolerance to base drive and collector current load variations resulting in a very low worst case
dissipation.

DEFINITIONS
Data sheet status
Objective specification This data sheet contains target or goal specifications for product development.
Preliminary specification This data sheet contains preliminary data; supplementary data may be published later.
Product specification This data sheet contains final product specifications.
Limiting values
Limiting values are given in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134). Stress above one
