Hi experts,Sorry, its not exactly an SI Question, but can anybody help me?I have a doubt in the specifications of a transistor. The datasheet says an absolute maximum collector current of 1A. But if we provide sufficient cooling, can we use it to carry higher currents? Also, the datasheet says the transistor has an hfe of 25 for IC = 150mA and VCE = 2V. To design a switch using this transistor with a load of approximately 1A, what could be the best Bdc to assume???Thanks in advance.Jomesh ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
