ON Semiconductor
2N4918
Medium-Power Plastic PNP
Silicon Transistors
...designed for driver circuits, switching, and amplifier
applications. These high–performance plastic devices feature:
• Low Saturation Voltage —
V
CE(sat)
• Excellent Power Dissipation Due to Thermopad Construction —
PD = 30 W @ TC = 25C
• Excellent Safe Operating Area
• Gain Specified to I
• Complement to NPN 2N4921, 2N4922, 2N4923

*Indicates JEDEC Registered Data for 2N4918 Series.
(1) The 1.0 Amp maximum IC value is based upon JEDEC current gain requirements.
The 3.0 Amp maximum value is based upon actual current–handling capability of the
device (See Figure 5).
(2) Recommend use of thermal compound for lowest thermal resistance.
Preferred devices are ON Semiconductor recommended choices for future use and best overall value.
