BD898-S

Overview

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.

Feature Summary

High current handling capability suitable for demanding power loads
Darlington configuration provides substantial current gain
Robust construction within a standard TO-220 through-hole package

Applications

Power switching circuits
Motor control systems
Audio amplifier output stages

Procurement Notes

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.

Selection Notes

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.

Part Context

This part belongs to Bourns Inc.'s discrete bipolar transistor lineup, specifically single NPN/PNP units. The BD898-S utilizes a Darlington pair structure within a single TO-220 housing. This family targets industrial and consumer electronics needing reliable power switching. The manufacturer emphasizes consistent performance across their semiconductor portfolio for critical circuit protection and control functions.
