BC32825TA

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC32825TA is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the BC327 series. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous collector current of 800 mA. The device offers a DC current gain (hFE) range of 160 to 400 at specified test conditions. Key electrical parameters include a transition frequency of 100 MHz and a power dissipation rating of 625 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package.

Single Bipolar Transistors Feature Summary

• PNP single transistor configuration for general-purpose switching and amplification
• High DC current gain with standardized binning for consistent performance
• Robust thermal stability supporting high junction temperatures up to 150°C

Single Bipolar Transistors Applications

• General-purpose signal amplification circuits
• Low-side switching applications in digital logic interfaces
• Driver stages for relays or small loads

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TA against official onsemi documentation to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure the hFE binning matches the 160-400 specification required for the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compliance with current RoHS standards before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a PNP transistor with moderate current handling and standard voltage ratings is required. The BC32825TA provides higher gain consistency compared to unsorted variants. Consider the TO-92 package constraints for thermal management in enclosed designs. Verify that the 800 mA limit aligns with peak load requirements rather than continuous duty cycles.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used BC327 family of PNP transistors. The BC328 variant typically denotes specific gain binning or manufacturing lot variations within the same electrical envelope as the BC327. It serves as a direct functional replacement for other PNP devices in the same voltage and current class, maintaining pinout compatibility across the series.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BC32725TA and BC32725BU from onsemi, which share identical electrical characteristics and pin configurations. Other manufacturers offer equivalent parts such as the 2N5401 or S8550, though parameter tolerances may vary. Always verify the hFE binning and package dimensions before substituting.
