BDX53C NPN Power Darlington Transistor 100V 8A TO-220 Package
The BDX53C is a high-gain NPN Darlington power transistor designed for medium-to-high power switching and amplification applications. With a collector-emitter voltage rating of 100V and a collector current of up to 8A, it delivers excellent current gain, low saturation voltage, and superior thermal performance.
Encased in a TO-220 package, the BDX53C provides efficient heat dissipation, making it well-suited for audio amplifier output stages, motor control, relay drivers, and voltage regulators. The Darlington configuration ensures very high current amplification, allowing it to control heavy loads with minimal base current input. Its robust design and high reliability make it ideal for use in industrial, commercial, and hobbyist electronics.
