BD138

Changjing · Bipolar Transistors - BJT · TO-126

BD138 from Changjing, in a TO-126. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 EMITTER passive Emitter terminal of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base breakdown voltage V(BR)EBO is -5 V at IE=-0.1mA.
2 COLLECTOR passive Collector terminal of the PNP transistor; the maximum collector current IC is -1.5 A with a collector power dissipation PC of 1.25 W.
3 BASE input Base terminal of the PNP transistor; the base-emitter voltage VBE is -1 V maximum at VCE=-2V, IC=-500mA.
