BC327-16,112

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC327-16,112 is a PNP general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia (formerly NXP Standard Products). It operates with a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and a continuous DC collector current of -500 mA. The device features a DC current gain range of 100 to 250 at a collector current of -100 mA and -1 V. It utilizes the SOT54 plastic single-ended leaded through-hole package. The component supports a peak collector current of -1 A and has a total power dissipation rating of 625 mW at an ambient temperature of 25 °C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the specific selection group required for the target DC current gain range. Confirm the package type corresponds to the intended PCB mounting method. Check the most recent datasheet revision to ensure compliance with updated legal definitions and pinning information. Ensure the supply chain source provides valid traceability documentation for the semiconductor material.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this variant when a specific DC current gain range between 100 and 250 is required under standard test conditions. Compare thermal resistance values against the available heat sinking options in the design. Evaluate the peak collector current limits against transient load requirements. Verify compatibility with the complementary NPN transistor if used in push-pull configurations.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This component belongs to the BC807/BC327 family of PNP general-purpose transistors. The product line includes surface-mounted variants like the BC807 and BC807W alongside the through-hole BC327. The business unit producing these devices was rebranded as Nexperia in February 2017. The family offers multiple selection groups differentiated primarily by their DC current gain specifications.
