BD244C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BD244C is a PNP silicon power transistor designed for medium power linear and switching circuits. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100V, collector current of 6A continuous (10A peak), and a power dissipation of 65W at case temperature 25°C. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) of at least 30 at 0.3A and 15 at 3A, with a low saturation voltage of 1.5V max at 6A.

 

Packaged in a standard TO-220-3 through-hole package, the BD244C has thermal resistance junction-to-case of 1.92°C/W and can operate at junction temperatures up to 150°C. This transistor is complementary to the BD243C NPN type, enabling push-pull and half-bridge configurations. It is suitable for applications such as power supplies, motor drivers, and audio amplifiers where medium power handling and reliable switching are required.
