BC327-25BK

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC327-25BK is a PNP general-purpose silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features a maximum collector current of 800 mA and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 45 V with the base open. The device provides a minimum DC current gain (hFE) of 160 at 100 mA, packaged in a TO-92 plastic case with UL 94V-0 classification. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• PNP general-purpose switching and amplification
• High current capability up to 800 mA
• Defined DC current gain group for consistent performance

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General purpose switching applications
• Signal amplification circuits
• Complementary pairing with NPN transistors such as BC337

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE grouping matches design requirements, as the -25 suffix indicates a minimum gain of 160. Confirm package dimensions and lead configuration against the TO-92 standard. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified power dissipation limits under expected ambient conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with guaranteed minimum gain of 160 is required. It serves as a direct complement to the BC337 series. Consider the TO-92 through-hole package for standard prototyping or PCB layouts requiring axial leads.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC327-xBK family of PNP transistors from Diotec Semiconductor. The 'BK' suffix denotes special bulk packaging. It is functionally similar to industry-standard BC327 devices but includes specific manufacturing tolerances defined by Diotec's datasheet specifications.
