Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ensures the tin/lead terminal finish as indicated. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as leaded versions may not meet environmental directives. Check manufacturer documentation for exact pinout definitions relative to the TO-39 package orientation. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets confirming the 80V V(BR)CEO and 1A IC ratings for your design requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with 1A current handling and 80V voltage rating is required in a TO-39 package. Consider its 100 MHz transition frequency for medium-speed applications. Compare against NPN counterparts if complementary pairs are needed. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 0.8W power dissipation limit in the metal case format.
