Transistor Collector current issue
A transistor doesn't have a current limiter - it will pass whatever current the surrounding circuit permits, if the base current x gain permits that current.

The Maximum Collector Current rating just means that the part is designed to carry that much current without damage.

When determining the maximum current a transistor can carry, you must also look a the collector/emmitter voltage drop to determine the power dissipated in the transistor.

You must design the surrounding circuit to ensure that none of the transistor's maximum ratings are exceeded.
