BD230 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BD230 is an NPN power transistor manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, housed in a TO-126 (SOT32) plastic package. This component is suitable for applications requiring high current, with a maximum collector current of 1.5 A, and low voltage operation, up to 80 V.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCEsat) of 0.8 V at 1 A and a base-emitter saturation voltage (VBEsat) of 1.2 V under the same conditions. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 40 to 250 at 150 mA and 2V VCE. The transition frequency (fT) is typically 125 MHz at 50 mA and 5V VCE.

 

With a total power dissipation of 12.5 W at 62 °C, and thermal resistance from junction to mounting base of 7 K/W, the BD230 is designed for moderate power applications. Its operating temperature range is -65 °C to +150 °C.

 

This transistor is often used in driver stages for television circuits. Its PNP complement is the BD231. The TO-126 package is suitable for through-hole mounting.
