PNP power transistor for linear and switching stages
The 2SB955K-E is a PNP power bipolar transistor designed for medium-current linear and switching applications where a PNP polarity is needed on the high side. It is suited for power-supply pass elements, motor-drive pre-drive stages, and audio output stages that require a PNP device rated for continuous collector current and collector-to-emitter voltage typical of a TO-220-packaged power transistor.
Sourcing and compliance
The 2SB955K-E carries an active lifecycle status, meaning there is no last-time-buy window or discontinuation notice in effect. It is ROHS3 compliant.
Package and handling note
For a pick-and-place line, verify whether a formed-lead variant or a reeled option exists; if not, hand-insertion or a tube-fed tray is the assembly path.
