BF871 High-Voltage NPN Transistor – CRT & Video Output Amplifier

The BF871 is a specialized NPN transistor engineered for high-voltage video applications, particularly in CRT display circuits. With a maximum Vceo of 300V and a distinctive TO-202 package featuring an integrated heat-dissipating metal tab, it delivers reliable performance in demanding RGB amplification stages and deflection circuits.

Functions & Applications

  • Extreme Voltage Capability (300V Vceo): Essential for RGB amplification and high-voltage video output stages in CRT displays.
  • Integrated Heatsink Tab (TO-202): Metal tab directly connected to the collector provides excellent thermal dissipation when mounted to an aluminum heatsink.
  • Robust Design: Proven reliability in legacy broadcast and professional display equipment for decades.
  • Insulation Required: Metal tab is electrically live; mica insulator pad mandatory when sharing a heatsink with other components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to use an insulating mica pad when mounting the BF871?
A: Yes, the metal tab is electrically connected to the collector. If bolting to a shared heatsink with other components, a mica insulator is mandatory to prevent short circuits.

Q: What is the thermal benefit of the TO-202 package?
A: The integrated metal tab allows direct mounting to an aluminum heatsink, providing excellent heat dissipation for sustained high-voltage operation in video amplifier circuits.

Notes

Vintage/legacy part widely used in CRT display repair and restoration. Still in demand for maintaining classic broadcast and professional video equipment.

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