The BF758 is a high-voltage NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) in a TO-202 package, rated for up to 300V. It was originally designed as a video/line output transistor for the cathode board of CRT televisions and computer monitors.

 

BF758 High-Voltage Video Output Transistor - 300V for CRT Cathode Boards

The BF758 is a silicon NPN transistor built to survive the extreme 300V spikes generated on the cathode (video output) board of CRT televisions, computer monitors and arcade cabinet monitors. Its combination of high breakdown voltage and moderate switching speed makes it a classic choice for repairing the RGB video output stage on legacy tube-based displays.

Functions & Applications

  • Extreme Voltage Rating (300V): Withstands the high B+ voltage spikes present on the CRT neck/cathode board without breaking down.
  • TO-202 Package: Robust through-hole case that can be bolted or clipped to a small heatsink when driven near its dissipation limit.
  • CRT Repair Standard: A common replacement part in vintage computer monitor, TV and arcade cabinet cathode board repairs.
  • Reasonable Switching Speed: 45MHz transition frequency is sufficient for driving RGB video signals at CRT scan rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BF758 typically used for?
A: It's a high-voltage NPN transistor originally used as a video/line output transistor on the cathode (RGB) board of CRT TVs, computer monitors and arcade cabinet monitors, where it has to withstand voltage spikes up to 300V.

Q: How does the BF758 differ from the BF759 and BF760?
A: BF758, BF759 and BF760 belong to the same Philips/NXP high-voltage video output family and share the same voltage/current ratings; they are typically graded by hFE (current gain), so check the gain requirement of your specific circuit before substituting one for another.

Notes

This is a legacy part designed for CRT-era electronics (TVs, monitors, arcade cabinets). Stock is intended for repair/restoration of vintage tube-based displays rather than new designs.

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