BC32825

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC32825 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 25 V and a continuous collector current rating of 800 mA. The device utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package, suitable for standard PCB mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a DC current gain (hFE) ranging from 160 to 400 in the '25' grade, with a transition frequency of 100 MHz. Power dissipation is rated at 625 mW, operating within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• PNP polarity configuration for complementary circuit designs
• Through-hole TO-92-3 package for reliable mechanical mounting
• High current handling capability up to 800 mA
• Wide thermal operating range extending to +150°C

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose signal amplification
• Complementary output stages in audio circuits
• Low-voltage switching applications
• Driver circuits for loads requiring moderate current

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hFE binning code suffix (e.g., '25') against design requirements, as gain ranges vary between product grades. Confirm that the 25 V collector-emitter voltage rating aligns with the maximum supply voltages in the target application. Ensure the TO-92-3 lead spacing matches the printed circuit board footprint. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with a 25 V breakdown voltage and 800 mA current capacity is required. The BC32825 serves as the lower-voltage counterpart to the BC327 series, which offers higher voltage ratings but similar current capabilities. Consider the 100 MHz transition frequency for high-speed switching needs. Evaluate the 625 mW power dissipation limit against thermal management constraints in the enclosure.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC327/BC328 family of PNP transistors produced by onsemi. These devices are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems due to their robustness and cost-effectiveness. The BC328 variant specifically targets applications where voltage levels do not exceed 25 V, providing a balance between voltage stress tolerance and high-current performance in small-signal environments.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' PNP transistors with identical pinouts and matching electrical specifications (Vceo=25V, Ic=800mA). Cross-reference with generic equivalents like S8550 or 2N5401 variants only if voltage ratings are sufficient. Verify that any replacement maintains the same TO-92-3 physical dimensions and thermal resistance characteristics.
