Product Overview
The 2SC5929 is an NPN triple-diffused mesa power transistor specifically designed for horizontal deflection output circuits in color television and CRT display applications. Manufactured by Panasonic (Matsushita Electronics), this high-voltage device features an impressive 1550V collector-base breakdown voltage and 12A collector current rating, housed in a TO-3PF package. The triple-diffused mesa construction provides excellent high-voltage switching characteristics and fast recovery times essential for deflection circuits operating at high frequencies. With 50W of power dissipation capability and built-in damper diode functionality, the 2SC5929 is optimized for reliable horizontal output service in CRT displays and television sets.
