BD679AS

onsemi · Pre-ordered Products · TO-126-3

BD679AS from onsemi, in a TO-126-3. 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 of the NPN Darlington transistor, with emitter-base voltage VEBO rated at 5 V and emitter-base cut-off current IEBO specified at 2 mA maximum with VEB = 5 V.
2 Collector passive Collector of the BD679A, rated at 80 V VCEO, 4 A DC collector current (6 A pulsed), and 40 W collector dissipation at TC = 25°C.
3 Base passive Base of the Darlington transistor, with base current IB rated at 100 mA maximum.
