BUL742C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BUL742C is a high voltage fast-switching NPN power transistor manufactured by STMicroelectronics using high voltage multi-epitaxial planar technology. It is designed for high switching speeds and high voltage capability, making it suitable for electronic ballast for fluorescent lighting and switch mode power supplies.

 

Key electrical specifications include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 400 V, collector-emitter voltage (VCES) of 1050 V with base-emitter shorted, collector current of 4 A continuous (8 A peak), and base current of 2 A (4 A peak). Power dissipation is 70 W at case temperature 25 °C. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 25 to 50 at IC = 0.8 A, VCE = 3 V. Collector-emitter saturation voltage is 1.5 V maximum at IC = 3.5 A, IB = 1 A. Switching times are specified with storage time 2.4 µs typical and fall time 350 ns typical.

 

The device is offered in a TO-220 through-hole package with an isolation voltage of 1500 V RMS. Operating junction temperature maximum is 150 °C, storage temperature range is -65 °C to 150 °C. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is 1.79 °C/W.
