BC237_J35Z

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC237_J35Z is an NPN silicon small-signal transistor manufactured by onsemi. It features a maximum collector current of 100 mA and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 45 V. The device utilizes a TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) through-hole package with formed leads. Key electrical characteristics include a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 120, a transition frequency of 150 MHz, and a maximum power dissipation of 350 mW. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix J35Z against the official onsemi datasheet to confirm packaging and marking details. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical data may vary. Check part status as this series may be obsolete or subject to replacement by newer equivalents. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for discrete semiconductor components.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when an NPN transistor with 100 mA continuous collector current and 45 V voltage rating is required. The 150 MHz transition frequency supports audio and intermediate frequency applications. Compare hFE bins if precise gain control is necessary for the target circuit design. Verify thermal management requirements given the 350 mW power dissipation limit in the TO-92 package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC237 family of NPN general-purpose transistors. It shares the base designation with variants such as BC237A and BC237C, which differ primarily in current gain specifications. The J35Z suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configurations distinct from bulk packaging options found in other distributors' listings.
