BDV65C-S

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BDV65C-S is an NPN silicon power Darlington transistor manufactured by Bourns Inc. It features a collector-emitter voltage rating of 120 V and a continuous collector current capacity of 12 A. The device is housed in a SOT-93 through-hole package, which facilitates mounting via a base connected to pin 2. This configuration supports thermal dissipation for high-current applications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• High current gain capability inherent to the Darlington architecture
• Robust 12 A continuous collector current handling
• Integrated thermal path via electrically isolated mounting base

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• High-power audio amplifier output stages
• Industrial motor control circuits
• Power switching applications requiring high gain

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package variant and marking code. Ensure the procurement source provides traceability to Bourns Electronic Solutions. Confirm that the component matches the SOT-93 physical dimensions and electrical specifications listed in the current datasheet before finalizing orders.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high current drive with moderate voltage ratings. The 120 V rating suits medium-voltage power applications. Consider the SOT-93 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management requirements compared to larger packages.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BDV series of NPN silicon power Darlington transistors from Bourns. The series includes variants such as BDV64A and BDV65B, differentiated primarily by voltage ratings and specific electrical characteristics while maintaining similar packaging and current capabilities.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Check for BDV65B-S or BDV65A-S if voltage or current requirements differ slightly. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with other manufacturers' Darlington transistors.
