BDX33CP2

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BDX33CP2 is an NPN epitaxial silicon power transistor manufactured by Harris Corporation. It belongs to the discrete semiconductor products category, specifically bipolar junction transistors (BJT). The device features a single-element configuration housed in a TO-220AB flange mount package with plastic/epoxy encapsulation. It is designed for through-hole mounting and switching applications, supporting a maximum collector current of 10A and a maximum operating temperature of 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• NPN epitaxial silicon construction for robust power handling
• Integrated Darlington configuration with built-in diode and resistor
• TO-220AB flange mount package optimized for thermal dissipation

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• Power switching circuits
• High-current load control
• Industrial motor drive interfaces

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer authenticity as Harris Corporation has undergone corporate restructuring; confirm datasheet version matches production batch. Ensure TO-220AB pinout alignment with circuit design requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Validate thermal resistance parameters against heat sink specifications to prevent overheating during operation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when high DC current gain and integrated protection elements are required. The built-in diode and resistor simplify driver circuit design compared to standard Darlington pairs. Consider the 10A continuous current rating and 150°C junction temperature limit for thermal management planning. Compare voltage ratings across variants if system voltage exceeds specific limits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part is part of the BDX33 series of power transistors. Variants such as BDX33A, BDX33B, and BDX33D differ primarily in collector-emitter breakdown voltage ratings while maintaining similar current capabilities and package styles. The CP2 suffix typically denotes a specific tape-and-reel or packaging variant within the Harris product line.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BDX33A, BDX33B, and BDX33D from Harris, provided voltage ratings match application needs. Cross-manufacturer equivalents should be verified for identical pinout, current gain, and thermal characteristics. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same TO-220AB mechanical footprint.
