BD138 PNP Power Transistor 60V 1.5A TO-126
The BD138 is a robust PNP silicon epitaxial planar bipolar junction transistor (BJT) designed for medium-power linear and switching applications. It is housed in a standard TO-126 through-hole plastic package that supports reliable thermal performance and ease of handling in prototypes and production circuits. The device features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 60 V, continuous collector current of 1.5 A, and moderate power dissipation, making it suitable for general amplifier, driver, and switching applications.
Features:
- PNP epitaxial silicon construction for high reliability.
- Medium power handling with 1.5A continuous collector current.
- Low collector-emitter saturation voltage for efficient switching.
- Wide DC current gain (hFE) range from 40 to 250.
