BD136 PNP Bipolar Medium Power Transistor 45V 1.5A TO-126 Package

Description

1. PNP Bipolar Transistor: The BD136 is a PNP type transistor, meaning it allows current to flow from the emitter to the collector when a small current is applied to the base terminal. This configuration is commonly used in amplification and switching applications.

2. Medium Power Rating: With a current rating of 1.5A and a voltage rating of 45V, the BD136 is suitable for medium-power applications. It can handle moderate currents and voltages, making it versatile for various electronic circuits.

3. TO-126 Package: The TO-126 package is a widely used plastic encapsulated package with three leads (emitter, base, and collector). It offers good thermal performance and is easy to handle and mount on a circuit board.

4. Amplification and Switching: The BD136 is commonly used in audio amplification circuits, small signal amplifiers, and low-power switching applications. It is suitable for driving small loads such as relays, LEDs, and small motors.

5. Complementary Pair: The BD136 is part of a complementary pair with BD135 (NPN type) and BD137 (NPN type), which means it can be used in push-pull configurations and complementary amplifier circuits.

6. Low Saturation Voltage: The BD136 has a relatively low saturation voltage, which means it can switch on and off with minimal power loss, making it efficient for switching applications.

7. General Purpose: It is a general-purpose transistor and finds applications in a wide range of electronic circuits where moderate power amplification or switching is required.
