BD679 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BD679 is an NPN Darlington transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications requiring high current gain. The device features a collector-emitter voltage rating of 80V and a continuous collector current of 4A.

 

With a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 750 at 1.5A collector current and 3V collector-emitter voltage, the BD679 provides high current amplification. The collector-emitter saturation voltage is typically 2.5V at 30mA base current and 1.5A collector current. Power dissipation is rated at 40W, and the device can operate at junction temperatures up to 150°C.

 

The transistor is housed in a TO-225AA / TO-126-3 package, also known as SOT-32-3, with through-hole mounting. This package is suitable for PCB mounting and provides adequate thermal performance for the rated power dissipation.
