550 V NPN for line-voltage switching
The BUJ403A/DG,127 is an NPN power bipolar transistor in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, rated for 550 V collector-emitter breakdown and 6 A continuous collector current. With a maximum power dissipation of 100 W and a junction temperature rating of 150°C, it is suited for offline flyback converters, switch-mode power supply clamp circuits, and ballast inverters where a single high-voltage NPN handles the primary-side switching.
Vce(sat) and conduction loss at 2 A
Saturation voltage is specified at 1 V maximum with a 400 mA base drive and 2 A collector current. At that operating point the conduction loss is 2 W, which must be considered against the 100 W package limit and the thermal derating for a 150°C junction. The 20 minimum DC current gain at 500 mA, 5 V gives a reasonable base-drive efficiency for a power switch of this voltage class.
