BCP68-25/ZLF

Overview

The BCP68-25/ZLF is an NPN medium power transistor from the Nexperia BCP68 series, housed in a SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount package. It supports a collector current of 2 A and a peak current of 3 A with a collector-emitter voltage rating of 20 V. The -25 suffix designates a specific DC current gain range (hFE) of 160 to 375 at IC = 500 mA and VCE = 1 V. Total power dissipation reaches up to 1.35 W on a 6 cm² copper pad, with a junction temperature limit of 150 °C.

Feature Summary

High collector current capability for both continuous and pulsed operation
Two distinct current gain selections available within the series
High power dissipation capability enabled by the SOT223 package

Applications

Linear voltage regulators
MOSFET drivers
Low-side switches
Power management circuits
Amplifiers
Battery-driven devices

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the required hFE bin, as the -25 suffix specifies a gain range of 160–375. Confirm the package type is SOT223 (SC-73). Ensure the application does not require automotive qualification, as this product is non-automotive qualified. Check thermal requirements against the specified Rth(j-a) values for your PCB footprint size.

Selection Notes

Select the BCP68-25 variant when a minimum DC current gain of 160 is required at 500 mA. Use the standard BCP68 if a lower gain floor of 85 is acceptable. Consider the SOT223 package for its improved heatsink compared to smaller SMD packages. Evaluate the 20 V VCEO rating against circuit voltage spikes to ensure adequate margin.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BCP68 series of NPN medium power transistors manufactured by Nexperia. The series includes variants like the standard BCP68 and the BCX52 complement. These devices are designed for general-purpose switching and amplification in consumer and industrial electronics, utilizing the robust SOT223 plastic package for efficient thermal management.
