BC328-16-AP

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC328-16-AP is a PNP silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and dissipates up to 0.625W. The device features a collector current capacity of -0.8A and a collector-base breakdown voltage of -30V. DC current gain (hFE) ranges from 100 to 250 at -100mA, with a saturation voltage of -0.7V at -500mA. It utilizes a TO-92 plastic package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• PNP epitaxial planar construction for general switching applications
• High collector current capability of -0.8A
• RoHS compliant lead-free finish
• Epoxy material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• Amplifier stages requiring PNP configuration
• Complementary pairing with NPN transistors like the BC338

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-AP' corresponds to Ammo Packing containing 20,000 pieces per carton. Confirm the absence of the '-HF' suffix indicates standard halogen content. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine parts and full traceability as required by manufacturer quality standards.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with -0.8A continuous collector current is required. The '16' designation specifies a DC current gain range of 100 to 250. Verify that the -30V collector-base breakdown voltage aligns with circuit requirements. The TO-92 through-hole package dictates mechanical mounting constraints.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC327/BC328/BC327 series of small signal PNP transistors. The BC328 variant specifically offers a -30V collector-base breakdown voltage compared to the -50V rating of the BC327. The '16' suffix denotes the specific hFE binning classification for gain selection.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' BC328-16 variants. Cross-reference datasheets for identical TO-92 pinouts and matching electrical parameters such as -0.8A collector current and -30V breakdown voltage.
