Overview
The Nexperia BCP68-25,115 is an NPN medium power transistor housed in a SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mounted package. It supports a collector current of 2 A and a peak collector current of 3 A with a collector-emitter voltage rating of 20 V. The device features a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160 at 500 mA and a transition frequency of 40 MHz typical. Total power dissipation reaches up to 1.35 W on a PCB with a 6 cm² collector pad.
Feature Summary
- High collector current capability for continuous and pulsed operation
- Two distinct current gain selections available within the series
- High power dissipation capacity suitable for thermal management
Applications
- Linear voltage regulators
- MOSFET drivers
- Low-side switches
- Power management circuits
- Amplifiers
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required current gain bin. Confirm that the application does not require automotive qualification, as this product is non-automotive qualified. Ensure the design accounts for the specified thermal resistance values based on the actual PCB copper area used for the collector pad.
Selection Notes
Select the BCP68-25 variant when a higher minimum DC current gain is required compared to the standard BCP68. Evaluate the thermal requirements against the available PCB copper area to determine the appropriate total power dissipation limit. Verify that the 20 V collector-emitter voltage rating meets the circuit's maximum operating conditions.
Part Context
