BD236 PNP Power Transistor - 2A, 60V, TO-126

The BD236 is a PNP power transistor housed in the compact TO-126 package, designed for applications requiring moderate current handling combined with reliable thermal performance. It pairs naturally with its NPN complement in push-pull audio and switching circuits, making it a staple in repair and hobbyist power stages.

Functions & Applications

  • 2A Collector Current: Handles moderate load currents for motor drivers, relays and power switching.
  • 60V Vceo Rating: Comfortable voltage margin for automotive and general power supply circuits.
  • TO-126 Package: Tab-mounted design allows easy attachment to a heatsink for improved thermal dissipation.
  • Complementary Pair Available: Pairs with the NPN BD235 for symmetrical push-pull output stages.
  • Widely Used in Repairs: A common replacement part in vintage audio amplifiers and power supply boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the complementary NPN transistor for the BD236?
A: The complementary NPN part is the BD235, forming a standard PNP/NPN pair used in push-pull output stages.

Q: Does the BD236 need a heatsink?
A: To approach its full 25W power dissipation rating, the BD236 should be mounted on a heatsink; without one, the safe continuous power handling is significantly lower.

Notes

For continuous operation near its rated 25W, this transistor requires proper heatsinking via its TO-126 tab.

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