Product details
Overview
BD682S from onsemi is a plastic medium-power silicon PNP Darlington transistor rated for 100 VCEO, 4.0 A collector current, and 40 W total device dissipation at TC = 25 °C. It features high DC current gain (hFE ≥ 750 at IC = 1.5 A), low VCE(sat) (≤ 2.5 V), and operates across −55 to +150 °C junction temperature range. It serves as a high-gain output switch in complementary audio amplifier stages and motor drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BD682S datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 100 VCEO rating, TO-225 package thermal resistance (RJC = 3.13 °C/W), complementary pairing with BD681, and suitability for linear/switching power output stages requiring high β and robust safe operating area.
Technical Context
The BD682S implements a monolithic PNP Darlington pair with integrated base-emitter shunt resistor omitted-requiring external base drive control. Its BVCEO = 100 V and BVCB = 100 V support high-voltage rail operation in Class AB amplifiers and relay drivers.
Thermal design is constrained by RJC = 3.13 °C/W and derating of 0.32 W/°C above 25 °C; secondary breakdown limits define safe IC–VCE boundaries below 100 V and 4 A, especially under pulsed or inductive loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 100 Vdc - Maximum collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; enables use in 80 V rail amplifier outputs. |
| IC | 4.0 Adc - Continuous collector current handling; supports ≥3 W audio output into 8 Ω with margin. |
| PD @ TC=25°C | 40 W - Total device dissipation at case temperature 25 °C; requires heatsink for sustained >10 W operation. |
| hFE | ≥750 @ IC=1.5 A - High DC current gain reduces required base drive current to ≤2 mA. |
| VCE(sat) | ≤2.5 Vdc @ IC=1.5 A, IB=30 mA - Low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss in switching applications. |
| RJC | 3.13 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; determines minimum heatsink requirement for thermal stability. |
Pinout & Package
BD682S is housed in a TO-225 package (Case 77-09, Style 1) with three leads and an electrically isolated backside tab. The package provides mechanical robustness and thermal path via the collector-connected tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emitter | Main emitter terminal; connects to load return or negative rail in common-emitter configurations. |
| 2, 4 | Collector | Collector terminals (pins 2 and 4 are internally tied); mounted to heatsink via backside tab for thermal management. |
| 3 | Base | Control input; requires current-limited drive due to Darlington's high β and lack of internal base resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Monolithic Darlington construction | Single-die integration ensures matched transistor characteristics and stable hFE over temperature. |
| High BVCEO = 100 V | Supports operation in high-voltage audio amplifiers and industrial control systems up to ±45 V rails. |
| Low VCE(sat) ≤ 2.5 V | Reduces power loss and heat generation during saturation, improving efficiency in linear and switching modes. |
| Complementary pairing with BD681 | Enables push-pull output stage implementation without discrete matching or bias network redesign. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP Darlington transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BD682G | Identical electrical specs and TO-225 package; Pb-free variant with "G" suffix marking; same thermal and SOA curves. | No functional difference; used interchangeably where RoHS compliance is required. | Select BD682G for new designs requiring Pb-free manufacturing; BD682S may be legacy stock or non-RoHS variant. |
| MJE703 | Same VCEO = 100 V, IC = 4 A, PD = 40 W, but hFE min = 500 (vs. 750), and RJC = 3.5 °C/W (vs. 3.13). | Slightly lower gain increases base drive demand; higher thermal resistance requires larger heatsink for same power. | Choose MJE703 only if BD682S/G availability is constrained; verify base drive capability and thermal margin in final layout. |
Compared with BD682G, BD682S shares identical performance but may differ in RoHS status and marking; versus MJE703, BD682S offers superior hFE and thermal resistance-critical for compact amplifier or regulator designs where drive efficiency and thermal headroom are limiting.

FAQ
What is the maximum collector-emitter voltage rating for BD682S?
The BD682S has a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) rating of 100 Vdc, verified per the onsemi datasheet under test condition IC = 50 mA and IB = 0. This rating defines the upper limit for safe DC or peak AC voltage applied between collector and emitter in the BD682S when the base is open. Exceeding this value risks avalanche breakdown and permanent device damage.
Does BD682S include an internal base-emitter resistor?
No, the BD682S does not integrate a base-emitter shunt resistor. As confirmed in the onsemi datasheet schematic and electrical characteristics, it is a standard two-terminal Darlington base configuration requiring externally controlled base current. This differs from digital transistors and allows precise biasing in linear amplifier and regulator applications using the BD682S.
What package type is used for BD682S and how is it mounted?
The BD682S uses the TO-225 package (Case 77-09, Style 1) with pins 2 and 4 both connected to the collector and the backside tab also collector-connected. For thermal management, the BD682S must be mounted to a heatsink using insulating hardware if the heatsink is grounded, as the collector is electrically exposed through the tab and pins.
How does BD682S compare to BD682G in terms of specifications and compliance?
The BD682S and BD682G share identical absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, and thermal performance-including VCEO = 100 V, IC = 4.0 A, and RJC = 3.13 °C/W. The "G" suffix denotes Pb-free and RoHS-compliant packaging; BD682S may represent a non-Pb-free variant or legacy marking. Both are functionally interchangeable where compliance requirements permit.
Is BD682S suitable for use in linear voltage regulator designs?
Yes, the BD682S is suitable as a pass transistor in linear voltage regulators. Its 40 W power dissipation rating at TC = 25 °C, low VCE(sat) ≤ 2.5 V, and high hFE ≥ 750 reduce base drive burden and improve thermal efficiency. When used in a BD682S-based regulator, ensure heatsink sizing accounts for RJC = 3.13 °C/W and derating above 25 °C.
