BD242BG Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BD242BG is a PNP silicon plastic power transistor manufactured by On Semiconductor. It is designed for use in general purpose amplifier and switching applications. The device offers a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 80V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 3A, with a peak current capability of 5A. Power dissipation is rated at 40W at a case temperature of 25°C, with a derating factor of 0.32 W/°C above 25°C.

 

The transistor provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 25 at 1A collector current and 4V collector-emitter voltage. The collector-emitter saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) is a maximum of 1.2V at a base current of 600mA and collector current of 3A. The transition frequency (fT) is 3 MHz. The device is housed in a compact TO-220-3 (TO-220) through-hole package, suitable for PCB mounting with adequate heat sinking.

 

The BD242BG is RoHS compliant and Pb-Free. The operating junction temperature range is -65°C to 150°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 3.125 °C/W and from junction to ambient is 62.5 °C/W.
