ULN2803ADN

Transistors - Bipolar (BJT) - Single

8-channel driverDarlington array50 V500 mADIP-18inductive load clamp

ULN2803ADN is a DIP-18, eight-channel Darlington low-side driver for logic-controlled inductive and DC loads up to 50 V.

Best for

  • Multi-channel low-side relay and solenoid drivers
  • Logic-controlled inductive loads
  • Through-hole DIP-18 designs

Avoid if

  • Low voltage-drop switching is required
  • Load current or thermal requirements exceed validated operating conditions

Check before use

  • Confirm load current and duty cycle
  • Account for VCE(sat) at operating current
  • Connect COM correctly for flyback protection
