BC184B TIN/LEAD

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC184B TIN/LEAD is a silicon NPN bipolar junction transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor. It utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 30 V, a collector-base voltage (VCBO) of 45 V, and an emitter-base voltage (VEBO) of 6 V. The device supports a continuous collector current of 200 mA with a power dissipation rating of 300 mW. It features a gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 280 MHz, a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 100 to 500, and a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 250 mV.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm lead-free or tin/lead composition requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer documentation. Ensure the TO-92-3 package dimensions match your PCB footprint constraints. Validate that the 300 mW power dissipation rating aligns with your thermal management design. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding moisture sensitivity levels.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage NPN transistor with moderate current capability is required. The 200 mA collector current and 30 V breakdown voltage define its operational limits. Consider the 280 MHz transition frequency for high-speed switching needs. Evaluate the hFE range of 100 to 500 for gain consistency in amplifier designs. Compare against other TO-92 devices if space or pinout compatibility is critical.
