BD243B Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BD243B from STMicroelectronics is a silicon epitaxial-base NPN transistor housed in a standard Jedec TO-220 plastic package. This component is engineered for medium power linear and switching applications. It offers a maximum collector current of 6A and a collector-emitter voltage rating of up to 100V (for the BD243C variant, BD243B is 80V).

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1.5V at 6A and 1A base current, and a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 30 at 0.3A and 4V. The transistor has a maximum power dissipation of 65W at 25°C case temperature and a wide operating junction temperature range from -65°C to 150°C.

 

Its complementary PNP type is the BD244B/BD244C. The TO-220 package is suitable for through-hole mounting, making it a versatile choice for various electronic designs requiring robust power handling capabilities.
