Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L34Z against official onsemi documentation to confirm packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm component status as discontinued or active through authorized distributors. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for TO-92-3 packages during sourcing. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate electrical parameter consistency before final procurement decisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN transistor with 30 V breakdown and 200 mA current handling is required. Consider the 150 MHz transition frequency for moderate-speed switching needs. Evaluate the TO-92-3 package constraints for board space and thermal dissipation requirements relative to the 625 mW power limit. Compare hFE variations across operating conditions to ensure adequate gain for the intended circuit design.
