The BD546C-S is a PNP Darlington transistor manufactured by Bourns Inc. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100V and a continuous collector current rating of 5A. The device is housed in a TO-220AB plastic package with three terminals. It has a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 12 and supports an operating temperature up to 150°C.
Verify the specific suffix 'C' against the official Bourns datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical tolerances, as variations exist within the family. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer's documentation before integration. Check for end-of-life or obsolescence notices on the Bourns engineering portal.
Select this component when a PNP Darlington structure is required for high-current switching at moderate voltages. Ensure the application demands a minimum hFE of 12. Verify that the TO-220AB package fits the thermal and spatial constraints of the design. Compare against NPN equivalents if polarity requirements differ.
This part belongs to the Bourns bipolar transistor portfolio, specifically the Darlington series. It complements other variants like the BDW53C-S and BDW54-S, which offer similar characteristics but may differ in polarity or current ratings. The product line focuses on robust discrete semiconductors for general-purpose and power applications.
Consult the Bourns datasheet for direct cross-references. Potential substitutes include other 100V 5A PNP Darlington transistors from major manufacturers, provided they match the TO-220AB footprint and electrical specifications.
