BD242-S Overview

DC current gain' is equal to the ratio of the collector current to the base current, something like Ic/Ib, and this device has 25 @ 1A 4V DC current gain.Single BJT transistor means that Ic is at Single BJT transistors maximum value (saturated), so the vce saturation(Max) is equal to 1.2V @ 600mA, 3A.Maintaining the continuous collector voltage at 3A is essential for high efficiency.If the emitter base voltage is kept at 5V, a high level of efficiency can be achieved.Single BJT transistor is possible to have a collector current as low as 3A volts at Single BJT transistors maximum.
