Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific plating suffix required, as the model designation includes TIN/LEAD which may differ from PBFREE variants in compliance status. Confirm RoHS details directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact lead finish specification needed for the assembly process. Check for any regional shipping restrictions or export control classifications associated with this component.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a medium power NPN BJT with 35 V collector-emitter voltage and 500 mA continuous current capability is required. The 600 mW power dissipation rating suits low-to-medium power applications. Consider the 50 MHz transition frequency for signal integrity in moderate-speed circuits. Verify that the through-hole package format aligns with the target board design constraints.
