The BCX38CSTOA is an NPN Darlington transistor manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 60 V and a continuous collector current of 800 mA. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 1 W and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 200°C. Key electrical parameters include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 10,000 at 500 mA and 5 V, a maximum collector cutoff current of 100 nA, and a maximum saturation voltage of 1.25 V at 8 mA base current and 800 mA collector current. It utilizes an E-Line-3 package.
Verify the specific suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements for your region. Cross-reference the DigiKey part number with official Diodes Incorporated datasheets to validate pinout and absolute maximum ratings before integration into designs.
Select this component when high current gain is required in a through-hole configuration. Compare the 60 V rating and 800 mA limit against circuit load requirements. Consider the E-Line-3 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management needs given the 1 W power dissipation limit and junction temperature specifications.
This part belongs to the BCX38 series of NPN Darlington transistors from Diodes Incorporated. The series includes variants such as BCX38A, BCX38B, and BCX38C, differentiated primarily by hFE binning. The BCX38CSTZA variant shares similar electrical characteristics but differs in packaging format.
Official substitutes within the same family include BCX38C and BCX38CSTZ. Verify compatibility regarding package footprint and electrical tolerances before substitution.
