BST52 from Nexperia, in a SOT-89-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | E | passive | Emitter of the NPN Darlington pair. Common return path for collector current; VEBO limited to 5 V (open collector). |
| 2 | C | passive | Collector of the NPN Darlington pair. Main current-handling terminal; VCEO up to 80 V, IC up to 1 A (peak 2 A). Also connected to the SOT89 heat-spreading tab for improved thermal dissipation. |
| 3 | B | passive | Base control input of the NPN Darlington pair. Drives the compound transistor through an integrated base-emitter resistor with an anti-parallel diode; IB limited to 100 mA. |
