BD237 Power Transistor - Reliable NPN Switching & Amplification

The BD237 is an NPN power transistor in a TO-126 package, rated for 80V, 2A and 25W, widely used in audio output stages, DC motor drivers and general-purpose power switching circuits. Its TO-126 case allows direct mounting to a small heatsink for improved thermal performance under load.

Functions & Applications

  • 80V / 2A Rating: Suitable for moderate-power switching and amplification tasks beyond small-signal transistors.
  • 25W Power Dissipation: Handles sustained loads when mounted with an adequate heatsink.
  • TO-126 Package: Compact power package with an integrated mounting hole for easy heatsink attachment.
  • Audio & Driver Applications: A classic choice for push-pull output stages and relay/motor driver circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the complementary PNP part for BD237?
A: The complementary PNP transistor is the BD238, matched for the same voltage and current ratings.

Q: Does the BD237 need a heatsink?
A: For its full 25W power dissipation rating, a heatsink is required; at lower currents and short duty cycles it can run without one, but a small clip-on heatsink is recommended for sustained loads.
