BC337-16RL1

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC337-16RL1 is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar amplifier transistor manufactured by onsemi. It is housed in a TO-92 (Case 29) package with three leads configured as Collector, Base, and Emitter. The device supports a continuous collector current of 800 mA and a collector-emitter voltage of 45 V. For the -16 gain group, the DC current gain ranges from 100 to 250 at specific test conditions. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the specific binning and packaging configuration. Confirm that the component matches the required gain group and package style for your design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN small-signal transistor with moderate current handling capabilities is required. Ensure the application circuit stays within the specified safe operating area and thermal limits defined in the datasheet to maintain reliability.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC337 family of NPN silicon amplifier transistors produced by onsemi. The family includes variants differentiated by DC current gain groups (-16, -25, -40) and packaging options such as tape and reel or box quantities. The RL1 suffix indicates a specific tape and reel packaging format.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include BC337-16G, BC337-16ZL1, and BC337-16RL1G from onsemi. Other manufacturers producing equivalent TO-92 NPN transistors may also serve as replacements if electrical parameters match.
