The BCX38C PBFREE is a single NPN Darlington transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 60 V and a collector-base voltage of 80 V, with an emitter-base voltage rating of 10 V. The device supports a maximum DC collector current of 800 mA and dissipates up to 625 mW of power. It exhibits a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 10,000 at 500 mA. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes a TO-92-3 package and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.
Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Confirm the active lifecycle status directly with Central Semiconductor Corp prior to design finalization, as availability may vary. Ensure the TO-92-3 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements during the procurement phase.
Select this component when high current gain is required in a compact through-hole package. The 60 V collector-emitter rating defines its voltage handling limits compared to lower-voltage alternatives. Consider the 800 mA continuous current capacity relative to thermal management constraints inherent to the TO-92-3 housing for the specific application environment.
This part belongs to the BCX38 series of NPN Darlington transistors produced by Central Semiconductor Corp. The series is characterized by high current gain and moderate voltage ratings. The BCX38C variant specifically denotes the electrical binning or performance tier within this product line, distinguishing it from other series members based on gain and leakage specifications.
Consult official datasheets for pin-compatible equivalents such as the MPSA13 or MPSA29. Verify that substitute parts meet the 60 V CEO and 800 mA Ic requirements. Ensure the replacement maintains the TO-92-3 package style for mechanical interchangeability.
