Product Description

BD139 TO-126 Transistor (NPN)

= 1.5A NPN Medium Power Transistor for Audio and Switching Applications =

The BD139 is a mediumpower NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) housed in a TO126 (SOT32) plastic package. It is designed for audio amplifiers and drivers utilizing complementary or quasicomplementary circuits and is the NPN complement to the PNP transistor BD140.

Device Type: NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
Package: TO-126
Maximum Collector Current (IC): 1.5A (DC); 3A pulse
PNP Complement: BD140
Ensure correct pin identification: Pin 1 is the Emitter, Pin 2 is the Collector, and Pin 3 is the Base. The collector is electrically connected to the metal mounting tab.
Do not exceed the maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage.
