Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as this component was originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor and may now be sourced through onsemi or other distributors. Confirm the specific datasheet revision and pinout configuration (Emitter, Collector, Base) against your schematic requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a -30V rating and up to 300mA continuous current capability is required. Ensure the application stays within the 625mW power dissipation limit and consider the thermal resistance values if heat sinking is necessary for sustained operation.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component belongs to the BC214 series of PNP transistors. It is functionally similar to the standard BC214 but typically specifies a higher minimum DC current gain (hFE). The device utilizes a silicon planar epitaxial structure housed in a TO-92 plastic package.
