2SD400 Medium-Power Transistor - Optimized for Relay Control & Switching

The 2SD400 is a robust NPN transistor capable of handling up to 1A collector current, making it a popular choice for switching relays, solenoids, and moderate-load applications. Its TO-92 package ensures straightforward integration into breadboards and PCBs, while its voltage rating and current capacity provide reliable performance in 12V and 24V control circuits.

Functions & Applications

  • High Collector Current (1A): Sufficient to drive relays, solenoids, and medium loads directly from microcontroller outputs.
  • Moderate Voltage Rating (Vceo 25V): Suitable for battery-powered and 12V/24V industrial control circuits.
  • Standard TO-92 Package: Through-hole design, breadboard-friendly, and easy to hand-solder.
  • Reliable Switching Performance: Established part with wide availability and proven field reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the 2SD400 drive a 12V relay directly?
A: Yes. With a maximum collector current of 1A, the 2SD400 can drive 12V relays with coil currents below 1A. Always use a flyback diode (1N4007 or similar) across the relay coil to protect against inductive spikes.

Q: What is the complementary PNP part for 2SD400?
A: The complementary PNP transistor is the 2SA400 or 2SA350, with similar electrical characteristics and TO-92 packaging.

Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
