Product details
Overview
BSP62 from Nexperia is a PNP Darlington transistor in SOT223 (SC-73) package, designed for high-current industrial switching with -80 V VCES, -1 A continuous IC, and integrated base-emitter diode/resistor network. It drives solenoids, relays, and print hammers where low saturation voltage and high DC gain (>1000 at -150 mA) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the BSP62 datasheet, BSP62 pinout, BSP62 application, or BSP62 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 17 K/W), switching times (ton = 400 ns, toff = 1500 ns), and real-world use context for industrial load control.
Technical Context
The BSP62 implements a monolithic PNP Darlington pair with built-in base-emitter clamping diode and series base resistor-eliminating external bias components in relay/solenoid driver circuits. Its VCES = -80 V and VCBO = -90 V support robust operation in inductive load environments with flyback transients.
Thermal design is enabled by the SOT223's exposed collector pad: Rth(j-a) = 98 K/W on FR4 (1 cm² copper), Rth(j-sp) = 17 K/W to solder point. Switching performance is characterized at Tj = 25 °C and 150 °C, with VCEsat = -1.3 V at -500 mA / -0.5 mA drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | -80 V - Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base shorted to emitter; defines inductive load flyback tolerance. |
| IC | -1 A - Continuous DC collector current; supports direct driving of 12 V/24 V solenoids and relays without heatsinking. |
| hFE | 1000–2000 - DC current gain at -150 mA and -500 mA; enables low-base-current control of high-power loads. |
| VCEsat | -1.3 V @ -500 mA / -0.5 mA - Low saturation voltage reduces power loss and self-heating during active conduction. |
| toff | 1500 ns - Turn-off time under defined test conditions; determines maximum switching frequency in PWM-driven loads. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 17 K/W - Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance; enables accurate PCB-level thermal modeling for reliability. |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount plastic package with 4 leads (pins 1–4), 2.3 mm pitch, 6.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.65 mm body, and exposed collector pad for thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base | Input control terminal; internally connected to base resistor network and clamping diode anode. |
| 2 | Collector | Main power output terminal; electrically tied to pin 4 and thermally bonded to exposed metal pad. |
| 3 | Emitter | Common return path for load current; connects to internal Darlington emitter node. |
| 4 | Collector | Second collector connection; redundant pin for enhanced current handling and thermal conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated base resistor + clamping diode | Eliminates need for external bias components in relay/solenoid drivers, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| High DC current gain (hFE ≥ 1000) | Enables microcontroller GPIO-level drive (-0.5 mA base current suffices for -500 mA load). |
| Low VCEsat (-1.3 V) | Minimizes conduction loss (<0.65 W at -500 mA), allowing operation without heatsink in ambient ≤ 70 °C. |
| Exposed collector pad (SOT223) | Provides low-impedance thermal path to PCB copper; Rth(j-sp) = 17 K/W enables predictable thermal management. |
Applications
| Print Hammer Driver | Solenoid Actuator Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving electromagnetic print hammers in dot-matrix printers requiring fast, high-current pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-gain PNP Darlington switch delivering -1 A peak current with <1.5 µs turn-off to enable precise dot timing. Use Value: Integrated base resistor and diode simplify gate drive circuitry; low VCEsat prevents thermal shutdown during burst-mode operation. |
Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V DC solenoids in industrial valves and pneumatic systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load switch interfacing PLC outputs to inductive solenoid coils, absorbing flyback energy via internal clamp diode. Use Value: VCES = -80 V withstands >2× supply voltage flyback spikes; Rth(j-sp) = 17 K/W ensures stable operation at 100% duty cycle. |
| Relay Coil Driver | Lamp Load Switch |
|
Use Scenario: Replacing mechanical relays in programmable logic controllers for contactor control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state replacement for electromechanical relay coils, providing silent, wear-free switching with TTL/CMOS-compatible input. Use Value: hFE ≥ 2000 at -500 mA allows single-stage drive from MCU pins; integrated diode suppresses coil-induced voltage spikes. |
Use Scenario: Switching incandescent or halogen lamps in building automation and signage systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current PNP switch managing inrush currents up to -2 A (ICM) during cold filament startup. Use Value: ICM = -2 A handles 10× steady-state lamp current; low VCEsat avoids visible dimming during sustained illumination. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP Darlington switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS12201LT1G | PNP Darlington in SOT-23; lower IC (-500 mA), higher VCEsat (-1.5 V), no integrated diode. | Best for space-constrained low-power loads; requires external flyback diode and base resistor. | Select when board area is critical and load current ≤ 500 mA; verify external component overhead. |
| Diodes Incorporated DXT695BK-13 | PNP Darlington in SOT223; identical IC (-1 A), but VCES = -60 V and no integrated diode. | Suitable for ≤24 V systems only; demands external clamping for inductive loads above 24 V. | Choose only if VCES margin >10 V is acceptable and external diode routing is feasible. |
Compared with NSS12201LT1G and DXT695BK-13, the BSP62 uniquely combines -80 V breakdown, integrated protection, and SOT223 thermal performance-making it optimal for 24–48 V industrial switching where reliability and BOM simplification are prioritized over ultra-small footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect continuous operation?
The BSP62 has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 150 °C. At ambient temperatures up to 70 °C, its 1.25 W total power dissipation (Ptot) and Rth(j-a) = 98 K/W allow continuous -1 A operation only with adequate PCB copper area. Derating is required above 70 °C ambient per the datasheet's thermal curves.
Does the BSP62 require an external flyback diode when driving inductive loads?
No-the BSP62 integrates a base-emitter clamping diode that provides inherent protection against inductive kickback during turn-off. This eliminates the need for an external flyback diode in most relay and solenoid applications, reducing component count and layout complexity.
How does the dual-collector pin configuration (pins 2 and 4) impact PCB layout?
Pins 2 and 4 are internally connected to the same collector node and the exposed metal pad. Both must be soldered to a common large copper pour for optimal thermal and current-handling performance. Splitting them across separate traces degrades Rth(j-sp) and increases resistive loss.
Can the BSP62 replace the NPN BSP52 in the same circuit?
No-BSP62 (PNP) and BSP52 (NPN) are complementary devices with opposite polarity and biasing requirements. Swapping them would invert logic and likely damage the circuit. They are intended for mirrored topologies (e.g., high-side vs. low-side switching), not drop-in substitution.
