Product Description

B772 / 2SB772 TO-126 Transistor (PNP)

3A PNP Medium Power Transistor for Switching and Audio Applications

The B772 (2SB772) is a mediumpower PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) housed in a TO126 package. It is designed for output stages of audio amplifiers, voltage regulators, DC-DC converters, and relay drivers [citation:2][citation:7]. It is the complementary (PNP) counterpart to the NPN transistor D882 (2SD882) [citation:2][citation:9].

Device Type: PNP Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
Package: TO126 (SOT32) [citation:1][citation:5]
Maximum Collector Current (IC): 3A (DC); 7A pulse [citation:2][citation:7]
NPN Complement: 2SD882 (D882) [citation:2][citation:9]
Ensure correct pin identification: Pin 1 is the Emitter, Pin 2 is the Collector, and Pin 3 is the Base [citation:1][citation:9]. The collector is electrically connected to the metal mounting tab.
Do not exceed the maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage.
