Product details
Overview
BD676G from onsemi is a plastic medium-power silicon PNP Darlington transistor designed for complementary general-purpose amplifier output stages, with VCEO = 45 V, IC = 4.0 A, PD = 40 W at TC = 25 °C, hFE ≥ 750 (IC = 1.5 A), and TO-225 package. It delivers high-current switching and linear amplification in audio output and power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BD676G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 45 V VCEO, 4 A continuous collector current capability, Darlington-integrated base drive efficiency, thermal resistance of 3.13 °C/W (junction-to-case), and Pb-free RoHS-compliant TO-225 packaging.
Technical Context
The BD676G implements a monolithic PNP Darlington pair structure, integrating driver and output transistors on a single die to achieve high DC current gain while maintaining stable thermal performance. Its design supports direct replacement in complementary amplifier topologies alongside NPN counterparts like BD675G.
Rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, the device features low VCE(sat) ≤ 2.5 V (IC = 1.5 A, IB = 30 mA) and VBE(on) ≈ 2.5 V, enabling efficient base-driven switching without external gain boosters in medium-power linear or saturated-mode applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 45 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage before breakdown under open-base conditions; defines upper rail limit in amplifier or switch designs. |
| IC | 4.0 A - Continuous DC collector current rating; supports medium-power loads such as speaker drivers or relay coils. |
| PD @ TC = 25 °C | 40 W - Total device power dissipation at case temperature 25 °C; requires heatsinking above ambient derating thresholds. |
| hFE | ≥ 750 @ IC = 1.5 A - High DC current gain reduces required base drive current, simplifying driver stage design. |
| RJC | 3.13 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables thermal modeling for heatsink sizing when mounted with standard hardware. |
| TJ Range | −55 to +150 °C - Operating junction temperature range; suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
BD676G uses the TO-225 package (Case 77-09, Style 1), with metal tab electrically connected to collector. The package provides mechanical robustness and thermal path integrity for medium-power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Main emitter terminal; connects to load return or ground reference in common-collector configurations. |
| 2, 4 | Collector | Dual collector pins (pins 2 and 4) tied internally to metal tab; must be connected to same potential-typically supply rail or heatsink. |
| 3 | Base | Control input; accepts low-current drive to enable high-current emitter output via Darlington action. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Monolithic Darlington construction | Single-die integration eliminates inter-device matching drift and parasitic inductance, improving reliability in high-gain analog stages. |
| High hFE ≥ 750 | Reduces required base drive current to ~2 mA for 1.5 A output, easing compatibility with microcontroller GPIO or op-amp outputs. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS compliant | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing electrical or thermal performance. |
| Complementary pairing with BD675 series | Enables push-pull amplifier designs with matched gain, saturation, and thermal characteristics across PNP/NPN pairs. |
Applications
| Audio Power Amplifier Output Stage | DC Motor Driver (Medium Power) |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Final output stage in Class AB audio amplifiers delivering up to 20 W into 8 Ω loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP Darlington output transistor providing high-current sourcing capability in complementary symmetry configuration. Use Value: High hFE minimizes driver-stage complexity; 45 V VCEO supports ±20 V rails; TO-225 package allows direct mounting to chassis heatsinks. |
Use Scenario: H-bridge or single-ended driver for 12–24 V brushed DC motors drawing up to 3.5 A continuous. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power PNP switch controlling motor current direction or enable state in discrete power stage. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) ≤ 2.5 V reduces conduction loss; 4 A rating accommodates peak startup currents; thermal derating curve supports sustained duty cycles. |
| Relay/Actuator Driver | Linear Voltage Regulator Pass Element |
|
Use Scenario: Driving 24 V/1 A industrial relays or solenoid actuators from logic-level controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-gain PNP switch interfacing between low-power control logic and inductive load. Use Value: Base current as low as 2 mA suffices for full turn-on; integrated Darlington avoids need for cascaded transistors; built-in ESD protection enhances field reliability. |
Use Scenario: Series pass element in adjustable linear regulators delivering up to 3 A at 5–15 V output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PNP pass transistor regulating output by modulating emitter current based on error amplifier feedback. Use Value: Stable hFE ensures predictable loop gain; 40 W dissipation headroom supports 5 V dropout at 3 A; SOA curve validates safe operation under transient overload. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BD676AG | Higher hFE ≥ 750 tested at IC = 2.0 A (vs. 1.5 A for BD676G); otherwise identical ratings and pinout. | Preferred where higher current gain stability is needed at >1.5 A load; same thermal and voltage limits. | Select BD676AG when operating near 2 A continuous collector current and tighter hFE consistency is critical. |
| MJE700 | Same VCEO = 45 V, IC = 4 A, TO-225 package, but lower typical hFE (~500–1000 vs. guaranteed ≥750); not Pb-free by default. | Legacy alternative with broader distributor availability but no RoHS assurance unless specified. | Choose MJE700 only if legacy stock or non-RoHS compliance is acceptable; verify Pb-free status per batch if required. |
Compared with BD676AG, the BD676G offers verified minimum hFE at lower test current, simplifying drive design for sub-1.5 A loads; versus MJE700, BD676G guarantees RoHS compliance and tighter hFE lower bound, supporting modern production and regulatory requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for BD676G?
The BD676G has a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) rating of 45 Vdc, specified under open-base conditions with IC = 50 mA. This rating defines the absolute upper limit for safe operation in linear or switching applications; exceeding it risks avalanche breakdown and permanent damage. Designers should maintain at least 20% margin below this value in production circuits.
Does BD676G require a heatsink in normal operation?
Yes, BD676G requires a heatsink when dissipating more than ~5 W continuously, due to its RJC = 3.13 °C/W and maximum junction temperature of +150 °C. At ambient 50 °C and 20 W dissipation, case temperature would exceed 110 °C without heatsinking-well beyond safe limits. Mounting to a properly sized aluminum heatsink is mandatory for sustained 4 A operation.
Is BD676G pin-compatible with BD676AG?
Yes, BD676G and BD676AG share identical TO-225 pinout (Emitter=Pin 1, Collector=Pin 2&4, Base=Pin 3), mechanical dimensions, and maximum ratings. The only difference is hFE test condition: BD676G is guaranteed ≥750 at IC = 1.5 A, while BD676AG is rated at IC = 2.0 A. PCB layout and footprint are fully interchangeable.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation for BD676G at 25 °C case temperature?
At TC = 25 °C, the BD676G's SOA is bounded by thermal limit (40 W), bonding wire limit (4 A), and secondary breakdown limit (e.g., 1.5 A at 30 V). Figure 2 in the onsemi BD676/D datasheet shows the IC–VCE boundary: operation must remain left-and-below the curve. Exceeding SOA-even briefly-can cause localized hot-spot failure.
Can BD676G be used in place of BD675G in a complementary amplifier?
No-BD676G (PNP) and BD675G (NPN) are complementary devices intended for paired use, not substitution. They share matching VCEO, IC, and package, but opposite polarity. Replacing BD675G with BD676G would invert amplifier topology and cause circuit failure. Always use BD676G with BD675G in push-pull or quasi-complementary output stages.
