Overview
The BCX38A TIN/LEAD is an NPN silicon Darlington transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor. It features a collector-emitter voltage (Vceo) of 60V and a collector-base voltage (Vcbo) of 80V. The device supports a maximum continuous collector current of 0.8A with a power dissipation rating of 1W. It utilizes a TO-92 compatible plastic package and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
Feature Summary
- High current gain capability inherent to the Darlington configuration
- Robust thermal performance with 1W power dissipation rating
- Suitable for through-hole mounting in standard TO-92 compatible footprints
Applications
- General-purpose switching circuits
- Driver stages for relays or motors
- Linear amplifier applications requiring high input impedance
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free compliance status, as tin/lead variants differ from Pb-free equivalents. Confirm RoHS directive alignment prior to integration into regulated assemblies. Ensure the selected variant matches the required terminal plating specifications for solderability and long-term reliability in the target environment.
Selection Notes
Select this component when high current drive capability is required from low-level control signals. The 60V Vceo rating provides adequate headroom for moderate voltage applications. Consider the TO-92 package constraints for thermal management in enclosed designs. Verify that the 0.8A current limit meets the load requirements without exceeding the 1W power dissipation limit under worst-case operating conditions.
Part Context
This part belongs to the BCX38 series of NPN Darlington transistors produced by Central Semiconductor. The series offers variations in voltage ratings and packaging options. The BCX38A specifically denotes the 60V collector-emitter voltage variant within this family, designed for general-purpose amplification and switching tasks in consumer and industrial electronics.
Replacement Considerations
Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. Cross-referencing with other manufacturers requires independent verification of pinout compatibility, electrical parameters, and package dimensions.
