The BD677 is a high-gain NPN Darlington transistor in a TO-126 package. Engineered for switching and driving high-current loads—relays, solenoids, and small motors—with minimal base current.

 

BD677 Darlington Transistor — High-Gain Power Switch for Relays & Motors

The BD677 is a robust NPN Darlington transistor, combining two transistor stages internally to deliver exceptional current gain. With its TO-126 package and moderate power dissipation, it is ideal for applications requiring reliable switching of medium-current loads from low-impedance sources like microcontroller outputs or sensor circuits.

Functions & Applications

  • Exceptional Current Gain: Darlington configuration delivers gain over 1000, triggering large loads with minimal base current.
  • Medium Power Handling: 4A collector current rated for relays, solenoids and small DC motors.
  • Compact TO-126 Package: Flat, space-efficient design with center mounting hole for optional heatsink attachment.
  • Logic-Level Compatible: Direct drive from 5V and 3.3V microcontroller outputs (Arduino, ESP32, PIC).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the BD677 control a 12V relay coil?
A: Yes, provided the relay coil draws less than 4A. Always protect the transistor with a flyback diode across the relay coil to suppress inductive spikes.

Q: Does the BD677 require a heatsink?
A: For continuous operation above 2A or at elevated ambient temperatures, a small heatsink is recommended. The TO-126 center hole accepts a screw-mounted mica-insulated pad.

Notes

TO-126 case is not isolated on the back; if using a heatsink, insulate with a mica pad to prevent shorting the collector.

Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
