BC327-40,116

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC327-40,116 is a PNP general-purpose transistor manufactured by Nexperia (formerly NXP Standard Product business). It operates with a collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and a continuous DC collector current of -500 mA. The device features a peak collector current capability of -1 A. It utilizes the SOT54 (TO-92) plastic single-ended leaded package. The DC current gain (hFE) for this specific selection group ranges from 250 to 600 when measured at a collector current of -100 mA and VCE of -1 V.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify that the component originates from Nexperia B.V., as the former NXP Standard Product business was rebranded. Confirm the ordering suffix matches the specified variant. Ensure the datasheet version aligns with current production specifications. Check for any updates regarding legal disclaimers or export control regulations associated with the product line.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component based on its PNP configuration and required current ratings. The BC327-40 designation indicates a specific DC current gain range. Verify thermal resistance requirements against the application's power dissipation limits. Ensure the SOT54 package fits the PCB layout constraints. Compare performance characteristics with alternative transistors if higher gain or different packaging is needed.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807/BC807W/BC327 family of PNP general-purpose transistors. The family includes surface-mounted variants like the BC807 in SOT23 packages. The BC327 specifically denotes the through-hole SOT54 package version. All variants share similar electrical characteristics but differ in physical packaging and thermal properties.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

The BC807 serves as the NPN complement within the same family. Other members include the BC807-16, BC807-25, and BC807-40 for different gain selections. Surface-mount equivalents are available as BC807W.
