Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as the BDW93C is marked as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Sourcing may require checking secondary distributors or alternative suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance details directly from the datasheet before integration into new designs due to potential regulatory updates.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current NPN Darlington switch is required in a TO-220 package. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 100 V and current demands remain below 12 A. Consider thermal management requirements given the 80 W power dissipation rating and through-hole mounting constraints.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BDW93 series of high-power Darlington transistors. It serves as a robust solution for driving loads that require significant current amplification. The series is designed for general-purpose power switching where high gain and moderate voltage ratings are sufficient.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BDW93C from STMicroelectronics. Alternative options such as BDX33C from STMicroelectronics are also available. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
