The BD238 is a PNP bipolar power transistor designed for low voltage applications. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of -80 V and a continuous collector current rating of -2 A, with peak current capability up to -6 A. The device offers low saturation voltage, with VCE(sat) maximum of 0.6 V at 1 A, and high DC current gain (hFE minimum 40 at 150 mA, 25 at 1 A).
With a total power dissipation of 25 W at case temperature 25°C and a maximum operating junction temperature of 150°C, this transistor is suitable for audio, power linear and switching applications. The transistor is manufactured using planar technology with 'Base Island' layout, providing exceptional high gain performance coupled with very low saturation voltage.
The BD238 is available in a SOT-32-3 (TO-126) through-hole package, which is also compatible with TO-225AA and TO-126-3 footprints. It is supplied in tube packaging. The complementary NPN type is the BD237.
