This value applies for t, < 0.3 ms, duty cycle < 10%. Derate linearly to 150C case temperature at the rate of 0.32 W/C. 2. 3. Derate linearly to 150C free air temperature at the rate of 16 mW/C. 4. This rating is based on the capability of the transistor to operate safely in a circuit of: L = 20 MH, Ipjon) = -0.4 A, Rae = 100 , VBE(oft) =0, Rs = 0.1 Q, Voc =-20V.BD242, BD242A, BD242B, BD242C PNP SILICON POWER TRANSISTORS electrical characteristics at 25C case temperature PARAMETER TEST CONDITIONS MIN | TYP | MAX | UNIT BD242 -45 Vv Collector-emitter I.= -30mA le =0 BD242A -60 Vv (BR)CEO breakdown voltage c B BD242B -80 (see Note 5) BD242C -100 Vop= -55V Vee =0 BD242 -0.2 | Collector-emitter Vop = -70V Veg = 0 BD242A -0.2 mA CES cut-off current Veg = -90V Veg = 0 BD242B -0.2 Vop =-115 V Veg =0 BD242C -0.2 | Collector cut-off Veg= -30V lp =O BD242/242A -0.3 mA CEO current Voce = -60V Ip =0 BD242B/242C -0.3 leo Emitter cut-off Vep= BV Ie=0 4 mA current Forward current Vecpe= 4V Ilc= -1A 25 Nee .
