BC327,116

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC327,116 is a PNP general-purpose silicon transistor housed in the SOT54 (TO-92) through-hole package. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of -45 V and a continuous DC collector current rating of -500 mA. The device supports a peak collector current of -1 A and has a total power dissipation capability of 625 mW at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. The minimum DC current gain (hFE) is specified as 100 under standard test conditions.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the specific tape-and-reel or bulk packing configuration required for your assembly line. Confirm the manufacturer source, noting that NXP Standard Products were transferred to Nexperia, and ensure the datasheet revision aligns with current production specifications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a robust PNP transistor in a TO-92 package. Ensure the circuit operates within the -45 V collector-emitter limit and does not exceed the 500 mA continuous current rating. Consider thermal resistance when designing for high ambient temperatures or enclosed enclosures.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC807/BC327 family of PNP general-purpose transistors. It serves as the through-hole equivalent to surface-mount variants like the BC807. The family provides complementary solutions alongside NPN types, widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control logic.
