Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix -AP indicates ammo packing containing 20,000 pieces per carton. Confirm RoHS compliance status as standard for this part number. Ensure the specific hFE bin corresponds to the 'N' classification range of 300 to 450. Check for halogen-free availability if required by adding the -HF suffix. Validate authenticity through authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage NPN transistor with high current gain is required. The 10 V breakdown voltage suits low-power supply rails. The TO-92 package facilitates through-hole mounting. Consider the hFE binning options if precise gain control is necessary for the specific circuit design requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This transistor belongs to the 2SC3279 series, which includes variants differentiated by hFE gain bins such as L, M, N, and P. The 'N' suffix specifically denotes the gain range of 300 to 450 under standard test conditions. The series is designed for general-purpose amplification and switching tasks in consumer electronics.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 2SC3279 variants with matching electrical ratings. Verify pinout compatibility for TO-92 packages. Ensure replacement parts meet the same voltage and current specifications. Cross-reference hFE requirements if gain linearity is critical for the application.
