BC32725TAR

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The onsemi BC32725TAR is a PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in the BC327 series, manufactured by onsemi. It features an 800 mA maximum collector current and a 45 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage. The device has a transition frequency of 100 MHz and a maximum power dissipation of 625 mW. It is housed in a TO-92-3 through-hole package with a junction temperature rating of 150°C. The part number suffix 'TA' indicates tape and reel packaging.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering code matches the required suffix for tape and reel packaging. Confirm that the BC32725TAR variant aligns with the specific hFE binning requirements of your design. Check for any recent obsolescence notices from onsemi regarding this specific reel configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TO-92-3 package style.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP BJT with moderate current handling and low saturation voltage is needed. The BC32725 offers higher current gain compared to lower-grade variants like the BC327A. Consider the thermal management capabilities of the TO-92 package for your specific power dissipation needs. Verify that the 45 V breakdown voltage meets the circuit's maximum operating voltage requirements.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

The BC32725 belongs to the widely used BC327 family of PNP transistors. This series is known for its reliability in consumer electronics and industrial control applications. The '25' suffix typically denotes a specific hFE gain range within the family. The BC32725TAR is the tape and reel version of the standard BC32725 discrete component.
