Motorola Preferred Device
This NPN Silicon Epitaxial Transistor is designed for use in low voltage, high current
applications. The device is housed in the SOT-223 package, which is designed for
medium power surface mount applications.
• High Current: IC = 1.0 Amp
• The SOT-223 Package can be soldered using wave or reflow.
• SOT-223 package ensures level mounting, resulting in improved thermal
conduction, and allows visual inspection of soldered joints. The formed leads
absorb thermal stress during soldering, eliminating the possibility of damage to
the die
• Available in 12 mm Tape and Reel
Use BCP68T1 to order the 7 inch/1000 unit reel.
COLLECTOR 2,4
Use BCP68T3 to order the 13 inch/4000 unit reel.
• The PNP Complement is BCP69T1
