Overview
The Nexperia BCP68-25/ZLX is an NPN medium power transistor housed in a SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount package. It supports a collector-emitter voltage of 20 V and a continuous collector current of 2 A, with a peak pulse current capability of 3 A. The device features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160 at IC = 500 mA and VCE = 1 V. Total power dissipation reaches up to 1.35 W on a PCB with a 6 cm² collector pad. Transition frequency is typically 170 MHz.
Feature Summary
- High collector current capability for medium power applications
- Two distinct current gain selections available within the series
- High power dissipation capability suitable for thermal management
Applications
- Linear voltage regulators
- MOSFET drivers
- Low-side switches
- Power management circuits
- Amplifiers
Procurement Notes
Verify that the specific suffix /ZLX corresponds to the standard tape-and-reel packaging configuration defined in the official Nexperia ordering information table. Confirm that the component meets the non-automotive qualification status specified in the latest product data sheet revision. Ensure design compliance with absolute maximum ratings to prevent irreversible damage.
Selection Notes
Select this component when a 20 V NPN transistor with high current handling is required in a compact SMD form factor. The BCP68-25 variant provides a guaranteed minimum hFE of 160, distinguishing it from the standard BCP68 which has a lower minimum gain of 85. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics relative to the intended PCB copper area for optimal heat dissipation.
Part Context
This part belongs to the BCP68 series of NPN medium power transistors manufactured by Nexperia. The series includes variants such as the standard BCP68 and the complement PNP BC68. These devices are designed for general-purpose switching and amplification in consumer and industrial electronics, utilizing the robust SOT223 plastic package.
