Nexperia, an expert in essential semiconductors, has announced nine new power bipolar transistors, extending its portfolio of products in the thermally and electrically advantageous DPAK package — now covering applications from 2 A to 8 A and from 45 to 100 V.

The new MJD series parts are pin-to-pin compatible with other MJD devices in DPAK-package. They also offer significant reliability benefits.

Available as automotive-qualified AEC-Q101 devices and industrial grade parts, the new MJD series bipolar transistors are rated at 2 A 50 V (MJD2873/-Q), 3 A 100 V (MJD31CH-Q), 4 A 45 V (MJD148/-Q), and 6 A 100 V (MJD41C /-Q and MJD42C /-Q).

The MJD31CH-Q is designed as high-gain version. All parts offer class-leading DPAK package reliability performance with an industry-standard footprint. The bipolar transistors suit a wide range of applications such as LED automotive lighting, backlight dimming in LCD displays, linear-voltage regulators, relay replacement, motor drives, and MOSFET drivers.

“Nexperia is known as a high-volume, high-quality supplier for a broad customer base,” said Pedram Zoroofchi, product manager at Nexperia. “By widening our MJD series of power bipolar transistors we provide designers with additional voltage-current options in a robust DPAK package. Therefore, our customers can benefit from the renowned quality and performance offered by Nexperia as a high-performance supplier.”
