Absolute maximum ratings, Thermal characteristics

2N4123
NPN General Purpose Amplifier
2N4123
This device is designed for use as general purpose amplifiers
and switches requiring collector currents to 100 mA.
Absolute Maximum Ratings*
TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted
*
These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired.
NOTES:
1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees C.
2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
