BC182BRL1

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC182BRL1 is an NPN silicon amplifier transistor manufactured by onsemi in a TO-92 package. It features a collector-emitter voltage of 50 Vdc and continuous collector current of 100 mAdc. Total device dissipation is 350 mW at 25°C ambient temperature. The DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 180 to 500 at IC=100 mA, VCE=5V. Transition frequency (fT) is typically 150 MHz at IC=0.5 mA. Noise figure is typically 2.0 dB.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• Designed for general-purpose amplifier applications using NPN silicon planar epitaxial technology.
• Provides high DC current gain suitable for signal amplification tasks.
• Offers low noise characteristics for sensitive audio or RF front-end circuits.

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General purpose amplifier circuits
• Audio pre-amplifier stages
• Small-signal switching applications

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RL1 indicates tape and reel packaging containing 2000 units per reel. Confirm the component is the BC182B variant with hFE range 180-500. Ensure the datasheet revision matches Rev. 4 or later for accurate electrical specifications. Check for Pb-Free status if required by assembly standards.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN small-signal transistor with moderate gain and low noise is required. The BC182B grade offers higher minimum gain than the BC182 or BC182A variants. Consider the TO-92 through-hole package constraints and thermal resistance limits for power dissipation in the final design.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC182 family of NPN silicon amplifier transistors produced by onsemi. The BC182B designation specifies the binning for higher DC current gain compared to the base BC182 model. The RL1 suffix denotes the specific bulk packaging format used for automated surface mount or through-hole insertion processes.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

BC182BRL1G is the lead-free equivalent within the same series. Other BC182 family members like BC182A or BC182 may be substituted if lower gain thresholds are acceptable.
