BDX53C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BDX53C from On Semiconductor is an NPN Darlington transistor designed for high-current switching and amplification applications. It offers a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 100 V and can handle a continuous collector current of 8 A, with a maximum power dissipation of 60 W. The device provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 750 when tested at Ic=3A and Vce=3V, and a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2 V at Ib=12mA and Ic=3A.

 

This transistor is packaged in a standard TO-220-3 through-hole package, which allows for easy mounting on PCBs and effective heat dissipation. The junction operating temperature is rated up to 150 °C. The device is reported as RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, though these compliance claims are unverified.

 

Typical applications include relay and solenoid drivers, motor control circuits, and power output stages where high current gain is essential. The high minimum hFE reduces base drive requirements, making it suitable for direct interfacing with low-power logic or microcontroller outputs. The BDX53C is a widely cross-referenced part, with a Digi-Key equivalent number 2156-BDX53C-488-ND.
