The BD135 is one of the transistors in the popular BD series, which also includes the BD131, BD137, and BD139, as well as their PNP counterparts. Because of its many helpful qualities, the BD135 is also an extensively utilized transistor. With a collector current of up to 1.5A and a maximum collector dissipation of 12.5 Watt, this transistor is ideal for a wide range of switching and amplification applications.
When employed as a switch, it can drive loads up to 1.5A, which means we may utilize this transistor to control a wide range of components in our electrical circuits. In an electrical circuit, you can, for example, drive high-power LEDs, relays, high-power transistors, and a variety of other components. It can also be used as an amplifier for audio and other sorts of signal amplification, as discussed previously.
It's also an excellent transistor for usage at the output of microcontrollers and other integrated circuits with low current outputs.
BD135 is manufactured in three different gain values that can be determined with the last digit written after the transistor number. for example BD135-6 gain will be 40-100, BD135-10 gain will be 63-160 and BD135-16 gain will be 100-250.
