BD140 Description

The BD140 is a medium power bipolar junction PNP transistor that is mainly used for audio amplifiers and drivers utilizing complementary or quasi-complementary circuits. It is made up of silicon and comes in the TO-126 package. The PNP types are the BD136 and BD140, and the complementary NPN types are the BD135 and BD139.

The BD140 can handle current up to 1.5A, so it can drive loads up to 1.5A in electronic circuits like high power LEDs, relays, motors, etc. The BD140 also has a high collector-emitter and collector-base voltage of 80 V. Its minimum saturation voltage is -0.5V. Moreover, the collector dissipation of BD140 is around 12.5 W hence it is ideal to be used in audio amplifier circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.What is BD140 transistor?
BD140 is a medium power bipolar junction transistor that is mainly used for switching and amplification purpose. It belongs to the PNP transistor category and comes in the TO-126 package. It is made up of silicon material with collector current 1.5A which indicates it can support loads under 1.5A.
2.What is PNP transistor?
The PNP transistor is a type of transistor in which one n-type material is doped with two p-type materials. It is a device that is controlled by the current. Both the emitter and collector currents were controlled by the small amount of base current. Two crystal diodes are connected back-to-back in the PNP transistor.
3.How to safely long run BD140 in a circuit?
To safely run this transistor in a circuit it is essential to not operate it above its absolute maximum ratings. Do not operate this transistor from a voltage higher than 80V DC, always use a suitable heatsink, use a suitable base resistor to provide the required base current. Do not operate or store it in temperatures below -55 centigrade and above +150 centigrade.
