Single Bipolar Transistors datasheet and documents for BC141-16

BC141-16

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC141-16 is a silicon planar epitaxial NPN transistor housed in a JEDEC TO-39 metal case. It is designed for audio amplifiers and switching applications with a maximum collector current of 1 A. Key electrical ratings include a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 100 V, a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60 V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 7 V. The device features a transition frequency (fT) of 50 MHz at IC = 50 mA. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 35 °C/W, while junction-to-ambient resistance is 200 °C/W.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact mechanical or electrical tolerances. Ensure the component meets the required thermal dissipation specifications for the intended operating environment. Confirm that the TO-39 metal package dimensions align with the target PCB or chassis mounting requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-voltage NPN transistor capable of handling 1 A continuous current is required in a hermetic metal package. Consider the 60 V collector-emitter rating and 100 V collector-base rating for circuit protection needs. Evaluate the thermal resistance values to ensure adequate heat sinking is available for the expected power dissipation levels in the application.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The BC141-16 belongs to the BC141 series of general-purpose NPN transistors manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It serves as the complementary counterpart to the BC161-16 PNP transistor. This series is characterized by its robust metal casing and suitability for medium-power applications requiring reliable performance in audio and switching environments.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The BC161-16 is the documented complementary PNP type. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters when substituting with other NPN transistors from different manufacturers.
