Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D74Z against official onsemi documentation to confirm packaging type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm availability status as distribution data indicates potential discontinuation or limited stock. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability and authenticity guarantees for semiconductor components.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN transistor with 50V breakdown and 100mA current capacity is required. Consider the TO-92-3 form factor for through-hole assembly constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 350mW power dissipation limit and ensure the application operates within the specified -55°C to +150°C temperature envelope.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC182 series of small-signal NPN transistors. The series is widely used in legacy and modern designs for basic amplification. Variants within the series often differ only in gain binning or packaging suffixes. The BC182 series serves as a fundamental building block for discrete transistor circuits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other BC182 variants with compatible pinouts and electrical ratings. Verify that alternative parts match the 50V Vceo and 100mA Ic specifications. Check for equivalent hFE ranges if gain consistency is critical for the specific circuit design.
