Fairchild BSP52 NPN Darlington Transistor User's Guide
Summary
This datasheet describes the Fairchild BSP52 NPN Darlington transistor in SOT-223 surface-mount package, designed for applications requiring extremely high current gain at collector currents up to 500mA. The device is rated for 80V collector-emitter voltage, 90V collector-base voltage, and 800mA continuous collector current with 150°C maximum junction temperature. DC current gain (hFE) reaches 1000 minimum at 150mA/10V and 2000 minimum at 500mA/10V, with collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1
