Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum load the 2SD261 can drive?
A: With a 500mA collector current rating and 20V Vceo, it can safely drive small relays (coil resistance ≥40Ω at 12V), solenoids, and high-power LED arrays when properly biased. Always use a protection diode for inductive loads.

Q: Is the 2SD261 compatible with microcontroller logic levels (5V/3.3V)?
A: Yes. The 2SD261 can be driven directly from 5V logic outputs. For 3.3V systems, you may need a base resistor or a small pull-up to ensure reliable saturation, depending on your required collector current.
