BD242C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BD242C from IXYS is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) housed in a TO-220 plastic package. This general-purpose transistor is suitable for both amplifier and switching applications.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 100V and a continuous collector current (IC) of up to 3A. The device can dissipate a maximum power of 40W at 25°C case temperature. It offers a typical DC current gain (hFE) of 25 at 1A collector current and a transition frequency (fT) of 3MHz.

 

The transistor operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C. Its TO-220 package is designed for through-hole mounting, facilitating integration into various electronic circuits. The BD242C is part of a complementary pair with the BD241C NPN transistor.
