Description

BD242A-S Overview
As the DC current gain is the ratio of the collector current to the base current, for this device the DC current gain is 25 @ 1A 4V.As a result of vce saturation, Ic reaches its maximum value (saturated), and vce saturation(Max) is 1.2V @ 600mA, 3A.Continuous collector voltages of 3A should be maintained to achieve high efficiency.Single BJT transistor is possible to achieve a high level of efficiency by maintaining the emSingle BJT transistorter base voltage at 5V.During maximum operation, collector current can be as low as 3A volts.

BD242A-S Features
the DC current gain for this device is 25 @ 1A 4V
the vce saturation(Max) is 1.2V @ 600mA, 3A
the emitter base voltage is kept at 5V

BD242A-S Applications
