BDV64C-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

BDV64C-S is a PNP Darlington bipolar transistor from Bourns Inc., designed for high-current switching and amplification applications. The device is rated at 120 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 12 A maximum collector current, housed in a TO-218-3 (SOT-93) through-hole package. As BDV64C-S is currently classified as obsolete, sourcing viable substitute models with matching electrical and mechanical parameters is essential for continued design support and maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute grouping is determined strictly by matching electrical and mechanical attributes. The following parameters serve as the basis for substitution:

• Transistor Type (PNP - Darlington)
• Maximum Collector Current (Ic)
• Collector-Emitter Breakdown Voltage (Vce)
• Vce Saturation at specified Ib, Ic
• Collector Cutoff Current
• DC Current Gain at test conditions
• Maximum Power Dissipation
• Operating Temperature Range
• Mounting Type (Through Hole)
• Package / Case
• Compliance and Certification (RoHS status, ECCN)

Only substitute parts meeting these criteria are considered equivalent or suitable for replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BDV64C-S is designated as obsolete, while BDV64BG is active. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and fall under ECCN EAR99. Selection based on product status and regulatory compliance should prioritize BDV64BG for ongoing production and design support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the critical parameters for considering substitute transistors in this category?

Critical parameters for substitution include transistor type (PNP - Darlington), maximum collector current (Ic), collector-emitter breakdown voltage (Vce), Vce saturation at specified Ib and Ic, collector cutoff current, DC current gain at specified conditions, power rating, operating temperature range, mounting type, and package/case compatibility.

Does the package type affect substitution possibilities?

Yes, package type and supplier device package impact physical and mechanical compatibility in the target application. BDV64C-S uses TO-218-3 (SOT-93), while BDV64BG uses TO-247-3. Mechanical differences may require consideration for board layout and heat dissipation.

Are both BDV64C-S and BDV64BG RoHS compliant?

Both BDV64C-S and BDV64BG are ROHS3 compliant, as indicated in their respective specifications.

How does product status influence selection?

BDV64C-S is obsolete, and BDV64BG is active. Active products should be prioritized for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Is it necessary to match collector-emitter breakdown voltage and collector current exactly when selecting a substitute?

Substitute selection must respect the allowed electrical parameters. Variations in collector-emitter breakdown voltage and collector current must be evaluated to ensure compliance with application requirements. Only parameters explicitly specified are considered for substitution in this reference.

What compliance and export classifications apply to these substitutes?

Both BDV64C-S and BDV64BG are classified under ECCN EAR99, indicating no special export control restrictions under the provided part data. RoHS3 compliance is confirmed for both parts.
