BU406

Changjing · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-220-3L

BU406 from Changjing, in a TO-220-3L. 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 BASE passive Base terminal of the NPN transistor, with emitter-base voltage VEBO rated at 6 V in the absolute maximum ratings.
2 COLLECTOR passive Collector terminal, rated for VCBO 400 V, VCEO 200 V and collector current IC 7 A, with collector power dissipation PC 2 W.
3 EMITTER passive Emitter terminal, the reference for the VCEO 200 V and VEBO 6 V ratings of the transistor.
