BD140 PNP Transistor

Description

BD140 Transistor BD140 ??? in this paragraph, I’m going to discuss usage and features of BD140. BD140 is a famous PNP type transistor. It is used in many electronics circuits. This transistor can handle current up to 1.5A or 1500mA, due to which it can be used to drive loads up to 1.5A in electronic circuits. For example high power LEDs, relays, motors and more, with these features. It has lots of other features like its high collector emitter and collector base voltage that is 80 volts, make it an ideal transistor to use in circuits using 80 volts DC or below 80 volts. Moreover the collector dissipation of this transistor is around 12.5 watt due to which it’s a good transistor to use in audio amplifier circuits. The minimum base voltage or saturation voltage of the transistor is -0.5V.
