The ON Semiconductor BD136G is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that is designed for use in power amplification and switching applications. This robust transistor is part of ON Semiconductor's broad portfolio of transistors catering to a wide range of electronic applications. The BD136G is characterized by its high power dissipation and current handling capabilities, making it an ideal choice for designers who require reliable performance in their circuit designs.
Key Features
- PNP Transistor Type: The BD136G is a PNP transistor, which means it is designed to pass current in the opposite direction compared to NPN transistors. This makes it suitable for use in certain types of amplifiers and switches where PNP transistors are preferred.
- High Power Dissipation: With a power dissipation rating of up to 12.5 Watts, the BD136G can handle higher power applications without overheating, ensuring reliability and longevity.
- Voltage and Current Ratings: It has a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 45V, collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 45V, and emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 5V. The continuous collector current (IC) rating is up to 1.5A, allowing it to drive moderate loads.
- Complementary NPN Transistor: The BD136G has a complementary NPN partner, the BD135G, which allows for the creation of push-pull amplifier configurations and other complementary pair applications.
- Package: It is available in a TO-225 package, which is a through-hole design that is easy to mount on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
