BUV18 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BUV18 is an NPN high current switching transistor manufactured by Thomson-CSF. Designed for high energy applications, it offers robust and fast switching capabilities.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 50A. The peak collector current (IC(PK)) can reach up to 90A. It also features a maximum base current (IB) of 16A and a peak base current (IB(PK)) of 40A. The transistor has a maximum power dissipation (PTOT) of 250W at a case temperature of 25°C.

 

This device is suitable for applications requiring high switching currents and low VCE(SAT). Its operating junction temperature (TJ) can reach up to 200°C, with a storage temperature range from -65°C to 200°C. The thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) is a maximum of 0.7°C/W.

 

The BUV18 is packaged in a TO-3 (TO-204AE) metal case, designed for through-hole mounting. Its fast switching characteristics make it ideal for use in high efficiency converters, motor drive control, and switching regulators.
