BC327-025

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi BC327-025 is a PNP silicon amplifier transistor housed in a TO-92 (TO-226) package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of -45 Vdc and a continuous collector current rating of -800 mAdc. The device provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160 at a collector current of -100 mA and -1.0 V collector-emitter voltage. Total power dissipation is rated at 625 mW at an ambient temperature of 25°C, with a thermal resistance junction-to-ambient of 200 °C/W. The operating and storage junction temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• PNP silicon construction designed for general-purpose amplification applications
• High DC current gain capability with a minimum specification of 160 at standard test conditions
• Robust thermal performance supporting operation up to a junction temperature of 150°C

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose amplifier circuits
• Switching applications requiring moderate current drive
• Audio signal processing stages

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required binning for DC current gain. Confirm package type and shipping quantity requirements align with production needs. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if lead-free packaging is specified for the project.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a guaranteed minimum hFE of 160 is required. Consider the -45 V collector-emitter voltage limit and 800 mA current capacity against circuit demands. Evaluate thermal management strategies given the 625 mW power dissipation rating in the TO-92 package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC327 family of PNP silicon transistors manufactured by onsemi. The family includes variants distinguished by their DC current gain bins, such as the BC327-16 and BC327-40. These devices share identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions but differ in gain specifications to suit various amplification requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the BC327-16 and BC327-40, which offer different DC current gain ranges. Cross-manufacturer equivalents should be verified for matching pinout, voltage ratings, and thermal characteristics.
