BSS44 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BSS44 is a silicon epitaxial planar PNP transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is housed in a JEDEC TO-39 metal can package and is designed for high-current switching and power applications up to 5 A.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCEO) of -60 V minimum, collector-base breakdown voltage (VCBO) of -65 V minimum, and emitter-base breakdown voltage (VEBO) of -6 V minimum. The collector current rating is -5 A. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 30 to 70 depending on test conditions, with a transition frequency of 80 MHz.

 

The device offers a total power dissipation of 5 W at case temperature ≤25°C and 0.87 W at ambient temperature ≤25°C. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is 35 °C/W and junction-to-ambient is 200 °C/W. The operating junction temperature range is -65 to 200 °C.

 

Packaging is through-hole mounting with a TO-205AD / TO-39-3 metal can package and a lead pitch of 5.08 mm. The supplier device package is TO-39.
