BD140 Transistor Pinout, EquivalentBD140 is a very famous PNP transistor uses in various electronics circuits. BD140 transistor can handle current upto 1500mA or 1.5A due to this feature. It can control high power LEDs, motors, relays etc because it can control loads upto 1.5A. This Transistor has many other ideal features like high collector emitter and collector base voltage that is 80 volts. Moreover, the collector dissipation of BD140 is around 12.5 watt that is way it is a good transistor to use in audio amplifier circuits. Minimum saturation voltage of the transistor is -0.5V. BD140 Pinout:Configurations of Pinout of this transistor are as follows. Features of BD140:
Classification of hFETransistor BD140 might have a current gain between 40 and 250. Current gain range of BD140-10 will be in the range from 63 to 160, BD140-6 ranges is between 40 to and, BD140-16 current gain range is 100 to 250. Replacement and Equivalent of BD140:You can replace the BD140 with BD140G, BD170,BD180,BD231, BD790,BD792,BD238G, BD792, MJE171, MJE702 NPN Complement:NPN Complementary of BD140 is BD139 SMD Equivalent:The SMD version of transistor BD140 is available as the BCP53. Applications of BD140:
Precaution for Long Life BD140:For the safety of the transistor you must operate it under its ratings and must operate this transistor under 80V DC. Always use a suitable heatsink and a suitable base resistor to provide required base current. Storage temperature should not below -55 centigrade and above +150 centigrade. Famous Transistors List
