BD708 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BD708 is a PNP silicon power transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for power linear and switching applications in industrial equipment. It is the complementary PNP type to the BD707 NPN transistor, and is part of a family that includes the BD709/BD711 (NPN) and BD712 (PNP) devices.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60V, a maximum collector current of 12A, and a peak collector current of 18A. The device can dissipate up to 75W at a case temperature of 25°C, with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. The DC current gain (hFE) is a minimum of 15 at Ic=4A and Vce=4V, and the collector-emitter saturation voltage is a maximum of 1V at Ib=400mA and Ic=4A.

 

The BD708 is housed in a JEDEC TO-220 plastic package with through-hole mounting, making it suitable for standard PCB assembly. The thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.67°C/W, and from junction to ambient is 70°C/W. The device operates over a storage temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

 

This transistor is intended for use in power linear and switching circuits in industrial equipment. Its complementary NPN counterpart, the BD707, allows for push-pull or complementary output stage designs. The datasheet marks this product as obsolete, so designers should verify availability before specifying it in new designs.
