The BD898-S is a PNP Darlington transistor manufactured by Bourns Inc., housed in a TO-220 package. It features a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 60 V and a maximum DC collector current of 8 A. The device has a maximum collector cut-off current of 200 uA. Saturation characteristics include Vce(sat) of 2.5 V at an Ib of 12 mA and Ic of 3 A. Designed for through-hole mounting, this component serves as a discrete semiconductor solution for power switching applications requiring high current gain.
Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct packaging format matches project requirements. Confirm that the TO-220 lead frame dimensions align with existing PCB footprints. Validate thermal management strategies are adequate for the 8 A continuous current rating under expected operating conditions. Ensure supplier documentation confirms compliance with relevant safety standards for the intended application environment.
Select this component when a PNP Darlington topology is required for high-current switching. The 60 V rating limits suitability for higher voltage rails. Consider thermal resistance and heat sinking needs due to the 8 A capacity. Compare saturation voltages against alternative transistors to optimize efficiency in low-voltage drop scenarios. Verify pinout compatibility if replacing existing designs.
