2SC2712-BL-TP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The 2SC2712-BL-TP is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It operates with a maximum collector current of 150 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 50 V. The device dissipates up to 150 mW at 25°C, with a junction temperature range extending to +150°C. The BL suffix designates a DC current gain (hFE) classification between 350 and 700 at VCE=6V and IC=2mA. Electrical characteristics include a transition frequency of 80 MHz, a typical noise figure of 1 dB, and a collector output capacitance ranging from 2 to 3.5 pF.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix -TP corresponds to the Tape & Reel packing format containing 3000 pieces per reel as specified in the MCC datasheet. Confirm the BL ranking aligns with the required hFE range of 350 to 700 for your specific circuit design. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts with full traceability and compliance with MCC quality standards.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-gain NPN transistor is required for low-noise audio or signal amplification. The BL grade ensures tight gain clustering between 350 and 700, reducing the need for manual binning. Consider the SOT-23 package constraints regarding thermal resistance and power derating curves if operating near the maximum ambient temperature limits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The 2SC2712 series was originally introduced by Toshiba Semiconductor in 1982. Micro Commercial Components produces compatible versions utilizing similar epitaxial planar technology. This specific part number represents the BL gain bin variant packaged in tape and reel format for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 2SC2712-GR,LF and 2SC2712-Y,LF(B), though these possess different hFE ranges. The MMBT5343-O is listed as a discontinued direct replacement but has been superseded by other variants. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before swapping.
