Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PBFREE' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm RoHS compliance status, as standard datasheets may list variants with different environmental markings. Confirm the active status directly with Central Semiconductor or authorized distributors, as availability can vary by region and production cycle. Ensure the TO-92 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power signal amplification tasks requiring moderate voltage handling capabilities. The TO-92 package facilitates through-hole mounting, suitable for prototyping and legacy board designs. Consider the 80 MHz transition frequency when evaluating suitability for high-frequency signal processing. Verify thermal management requirements against the 400 mW power dissipation limit under expected operating conditions.
